I believe the sport bars are same as Sportster / 91 Sturgis except with the air port.
I had a 92 Low Rider Sport back in 92 and I do miss it.

Rebuilt front forks yesterday, tightened up the neck bearings a smidge & installed the new grips. I also greased the neck....holy smokes that took a lot of grease. I work on cars for a living & you never see grease fittings anymore. I wish the bike had more. With the original bars on i pumped up the air fork system & by god it works. Im 6 foot 220 & just cruising down the driveway at 15-20 mph these forks seem to compress a good bit when front brake is applied. Ive got ATF in it now, I'll have to experiment with fork oil weight when i get the tires on & get some real road time. Im in ohio so thats not likely for a while anyways. Being a "bigger fella" i may need to upgrade springs. How do the PCV pipes shims work? Any one tried that?

Still waiting on the clutch & throttle cables, then need tires.

I like the factory paint scheme.

I know asking about tire brand is like asking "whats the best oil for my harley"......but i have a 2012 dyna that had a worn rear dunlop & some chinko front, i replaced them with Metzler cruistec's and think they are great. I have only 1500 miles on them so dont know about wear yet but handling is very much improved.

I see a lot of chatter about 880 & 888 but anyone here ran the cruisetecs or lasertecs?

I ran Dunlops for years, but am really liking the Michelin commander tires now. JMO

I got rid of the hoopy way too long braided clutch cable someone had on this bike to fit their buckhorns, i have installed the OE style clutch cable and routed it too my liking. Boy does it feel better....that braided one was stiff! I also put the factory SP bars back on & got new throttle cables from FXR division. The manual shows the throttle cables staying on the inside of the bars, then going down through a loop that is held by the front gas tank bolt, then under the tank through the tang.

I have seen quite a few pics of SP's that had the throttle cables ran under the bars, out front to the right of the headlight, down through the fork then back through a loop that is bolted further down on the neck. The factory way seems to work fine but any reason for the change? Which is right?

Oh snap...the picture in the manual says FXR but its a model with longer, taller bars, not the SP. If i look at the pic of the whole bike in the front of the manual i see that they are ran out front. Interesting. Whoops, guess i will re route them.
