Default New guy and my 883 Sleeper

My&nbsp\\;little HD 883 Sportster or so it would appear.





1998 Harley Davidson Sportster.
Buell 1200 cylinders
Buell 10:1 pistons
Buell Thunderstorm Heads
Screamin Eagle Cams, ignition, coil, and jet kit.
Vance &amp\\;\\\\\\; Hines 2 into 1 Propipe,
Progressive 11 1/2 inch rear shocks

80 HP in a sleeper package, now I just have to learn to control it.
