Hey, I'm still relatively new to the VTF and have been pleased with the help I have received so far.
I'm not new to riding; had a Yamaha Enduro 20 years ago and learned how NOT to ride. Later got a Yamaha 400 Thumper and learned how to ride on the street. Finally got wise, bought a REAL bike this past September. It's a 2000 883 XLH and it had only 1400 miles on it after 2 owners. So far, I've put 1700 miles on it and have enjoyed the ride, sound, and the general pleasure of owning a Harley-Davidson.
I'm already working on the 883 - 1200 conversion. I'm boring out a used set of 883 cylinders and will have them matched to 9.5:1 Wiseco pistons by the local Indy. After talking with the owner, he got me straight on getting XL heads and N4 cams so I'm now looking for those. Hopefully, by March or April I'll have the work done.
Thanks for the help you have given me. I hope to repay the favor.
Turn your head and Ride Safe.
