that gets my vote for ugliest fender ever installed on a sportster . change that and you'd have a pretty decent looking bike . not sure i'd trade a road king for it though

Chop most of that rear fender off and put a wide glide front end on it, and you'd have a pretty decent looking chopper.

A "Paco" rear weld-on kit, is a kit to turn the old Sporty frame into a hard tail. I know most of you guys don't recognize parts not sold in Harley's accessory catalog.

Would I trade a bagger for it as is? HELL NO!

Rear fender is hideous but other than that it's not a bad looking sportster. You never know until you try, someone may bite.

I'd rather buy it up than get the trade.

You guys are brutal - it's not that bad. Pretty good for a sporty actually.

If we all liked the exact same thing, life would be kinda boring. Its not really all that bad looking in the pictures. Its not my taste. I don't see him getting the bagger he wants, but at least he is trying. But, you know.. wish in one hand...

Cool

77 was the year of the Cafe racer Sportster with Siamese pipes. That one is collectible. He's customized it down to nothing.

Hate to say it, but i think I'd take rice over that bike. OR a Rocker.
I'd cut the bottom 2-3 inches off that rear fender, then it would be great - I hate bobbed rear fenders.
