Hi guys & gals! I'm new here! Just bought an 05 Sportster XL1200R a few months back after a 38 year layoff due to wives and kids. I didn't realize how much I have missed this passion from my youth! So far my bike has HD Sport shocks, stage 1 mods and it's at the dealer at the moment for Progressive fork springs and a Mustang seat. My last Harley (amongst numerous other bikes) was an early 60's Sportster....WOW what a difference! Glad to be here!

Lovetoride,
I'm very happy with my Mustang Vintage Solo. Excellent quality, very comfortable and good looking. I particularly like the raised back which keeps me on the bike under serious acceleration. I also have a Mustang Vintage Solo passenger seat but have yet to have my "ladies" test it out.
