Worst thing you have done to your Sportster
During my idea of chopping it, I had installed 14" ape hangers with 3 inch risers and a person told me "Now your speedo and tach looks like Mickey Mouse ears" between those bars (I hate him so much now) so I took them off and sold them. BIG MISTAKE.
Bought a aftermarket speedo and then I had too mount it someplace cool like on the side of my bike where it's hard to see at a glance but hey it's cool there. The after market speedo sucks, only works when it feels like it and now that hunk of garbage is mounted between my bars where I can see it when It wants to work.
Oh and my turn signals do not cancel now!

Im sure most of you know by now but the worst thing I did to my 48 was to "upgrade" the engine with a Zipper's Perfoemance "Hammer 88" cubic inch kit. Had problems with it straight from the beginning and they never got resolved. Best thing I ever did was to trade it for my new Roadster and be done with the hell I brought upon it. I will miss that bike and hope someone gets it in good working order. The dealer took on a mess with that one and did so with a fake smile knowing what they were getting into. Many thanks to those guys ay Santa Fe Harley.
