Ok - here is mine - a terrible pic of it - but oh well - have to work with what I have. It is purple and red. Since this pic was taken - I have changed the handlebars and lowered it another 2 inches. I will post new pic soon - and better one

?????? Unexpectedly ?

My wife is now showing an intrest in riding, and we are talking about a bike for her, or a bigger one for me, but at these prices it won't be unexpected!

Steel Wool and simichrome does wonder on aluminum... Currently doing that to all the aluminum parts on the motor and is making a huge difference! There are difference levels of steel wool so be careful which one you grab.

JDROBINS, My dad found a 1998 Road Glide for $11,000 on ebay. He wanted the faring for his Ultra Classic. The plan was to buy that bike and swap farings and resell the glide. I saw the opportunity to get what I alwas wanted. A road king (through conversion). He gave me $1500 towards the bike for the farings and I footed the rest. This decision was made over a day period. So thats why I called it unexpected. My mom is thinking on riding so I will give her my Sporty. At least it will still be in the family.

Here's my 1989 883 Sporty

I did the Thunderstorm 1200 conversion with T-storm heads, Buell pistons, SE cams, SE ignition, SE coil, SE breather kit, Dyna-jet jet kit, and v&H Pro pipe. She gets 82.3 ponies and 72 lbs of torque. It ain't pretty but man does it rock!

I love it when I make the rice burners give a double take when I roll on throttle.

This is an updated picture of my Sporty from an October posting on this thread. Cycle shack slip ons, stage 1 air cleaner, sissy bar, backrest, and luggage rack have been added. Not shown is a detachable super sport windshield. This picture is taken at Siesta Beach in Sarasota, Florida.

My wife's XL 883 with a chrome oil tank cover and a laid back license plate. More additions to follow but I needed the money for the upgrades to my Fat Boy! I'm just glad to have my wife riding beside me on her 883!

1997 883 Sportster

Mods:
Corbin Seat
Billet Style Shifter Peg
Bullet Style Lights (Not on)
Tear Drop Mirrors (Not on pic)
HD Saddle Bags
Sreamin Eagle Pipes

Plans in April:
Nice chrome front rim
Chrome oil tank
Clean n' shine (Pic was taken a few months back)
Chrome Billet Style Grips
New chrome foot brake
New chrome billet pegs

I am new to the Sportster scene .. I'm looking for a good shop in NVA or Maryland that can do good mods and paint jobs .. I am going to do as many mods myself as I can but I honestly don't have the tools or time to do nearly what I plan.

After spending my weekend crusing towards Richmond and seeing bikes on the road and going to the Chantilly Bike show .. I gotta mod this baby out!
