Default Scrambler/Flat Tracker

Hey everyone!

So after a few years of patiently waiting I'm finally picking up my first Harley tonight. I've been riding for years mostly cafe racers and sportbikes. I currently have a Yamaha R6 and am now adding a sportster to family.

I've been wanting to build a flat tracker and found this bike on CL. The guy's a factory trained HD tech and he did most the work himself. Im totally new to Harley so this is a whole different game for me. I've read into what he's done and talked to him quite a bit and I feel comfortable with everything. I want to run by some of the mods he's done with the knowledgable people on this forum. Here's the CL description.. Anyone have some opinions or thoughts?

2005 Sportster for sale, Its ready to roll just the way it is in Scrambler mode, or you can make it your own. This started life as a low mile 883. Cylinders were bored with torque plates and fitted with J&E pistons to 1200cc. Mild port match work. New Mikuni HSR 42mm. Now for the fun part. Buell XB 12R cams installed in the engine for great power and awesome reliability. 1000 miles on engine conversion, all traveling. Adjustable ignition module installed as well. 17" Dyna rear wheel laced to the sportster hub. Continental TKC 80 tires frt and rear just to be different. It has Harley 15' rear shocks on it, I have the stock hugger 12" shocks as well. All turn signals included and other misc stock items that were removed. fairing has 12v outlet and heated grip switch for the heated grips. Biltwell foot pegs and Moto bars with hand guards. 2" over front fork tubes with progressive springs. stock fork tubes and springs included. Exhaust is built out of used 1200R components.
Here's the link to the ad while its still up.. http://denver.craigslist.org/mcy/4975851054.html
