Default New guy from Austin
Just wanted to check in and say whats up. I own two bikes a 72 Triumph OIF Rigid 650, and a 1996 Sportster 883. I just got the sportster about 2 months ago and I have been riding the crap out of it. I just discovered that it had a leak in the front and rear headgasket. So like a junkie I couldnt just throw a new set of gaskets and call it done. I'm in the process of installing a 1200 kit. Anyhow, glad to be here. Later
