Welcome aboard.

 

Congrats and welcome. I am sure you will love your new ride. I know I love mine. I had one of the best rides of the year this morning. I don't even know why specifically but I arrived at work in the best mood and smiling from ear to ear. Maybe it was just because this morning was finally a beautiful warm and sunny day. I don't know, but I was screaming in and out of traffic and just having a blast. Now if I can get a blessing and miss the rain storm on the way home

 

Congrats on the Sporty. They certainly are a joy to ride. And just as easy to hurt yourself with, if you're not careful and exercise some restraint.

 

Wow thanks for the warm welcome guys! I rode my bike to work today and loved every second of it. I certainly agree with the input on modding, I'll be starting with small things such as an exhaust, intake and tune but I do have an idea of what I'd like it to look like in the near future.

Also, I know the HD manual recommends a 500 mile break in period - What did most of you do?

 

I did the basic break in thing with mine in 2010. Shifted up and down a lot with out running in one gear for a long time or high rpm's. Got the 500 mile oil change/maintenance then rode the **** out of it after that. Then the mods began in the winter time 2010 and never stopped! Make it your own and enjoy it! HD Sporty's are a blast to ride and build! Welcome to the club!!

 

Break in - do as much stop and go traffic on city streets and short bursts. Do not cruise on your break-in period. No bueno. As for modding - you're gonna LOVE It!!!! welcome to Harley 48's! I love mine as well!

 

Congrats and welcome aboard.

I'm also looking at getting the Short Shots in black.

 

break in period is 1000 miles now. starting at least with my 14' 48.

 

Congrats on the bike. Enjoy it and ride the hell out of it.
