A bike as new as my Sportster would have cost a left nut so I adapted and overcame it's shortcomings.

My definition of a b*tch is a guy that won't ride one

Spot on - Sportster is a girl's bike. Could be the silliest topic on the forum. Including, where do you put your gas cap.

And spot on again - , it’s stretched like a **** Annnd it’s quicker than anything you’ve been on or in

I have a few mates who make the girly bike comments, after we ride a bit they all want a turn on the girls bike.

Often, I remind them it takes years of left hand masturbation to have enough grip strength to compress the mighty spring. Rubbing girls need not apply.

The size difference is a matter of inches, don't really see it as something that would make or break you

You're looking at about 1500 bucks to convert an 883 to a 1200 and it a joke if you can spin a wrench

The power increase is well worth the cash, can you buy a bigger bike for another 1500 that has a fresh upper end? Probably not.

Has anyone ever swapped a 103 or larger into a Sportster?
