New guy here from Illinois, just bought my first Harley, 2000 Sportster 883. I am 23 and have been riding since I was 16, on my 5th bike now but the last 4 were sportbikes. Got this Harley pretty cheap and I plan on turning it into a bobber. I will post pics later when I get home, in class right now haha

looking forward to joining the Harley community and building this project!
