Default 98 Sportster with fat boy front end checkn in

Hello All. I am new to the forum and riding. i purchased a 1998 Sportster 883 in March of 2011 and haven't stopped ridding and modifying it since. i really look forward to meeting other riders and seeing what they have done to make their Bikes truly their own. Please look at my photo gallery and tell me what you think of my Sporty or Fatster as I like to call it.

Hello,
Welcome to the forum. Regardless of whether you’re a new rider or you’re someone with decades behind them, there is always something new to learn. There is a massive amount of information available on this forum. If there is something you are looking for just ask, there are many people here that willingly share their knowledge and experience.

Ike, I own two 98's at present. A 1200c and a 1200s. Once you get done personalizing them, and getting rid of the stock look (necessary for me, not for everyone) they are a blast to ride!

I hope you are loving yours just as much as I do mine!
