I just wanted to add that my friend that bought the 1200 Custom...I talked her into buying that instead of the Softtail Deluxe she was looking at. Not because she is a woman, but because the Sportster is a hell of a lot better bike for the money and for what she was using the bike for (riding to work, riding around town, etc). I also told her that I would not be afraid to put that bike on the road for an extended trip as well.

 

I've taken a couple of 6-700 mile trips on mine so far and enjoyed them just fine. Now with my new seat, I'm sure those trips would be all the more comfortable. OOOPS....I let part of my secret out! Oh well.

 

Soooo......
Are we talking about seeing pictures of the bike mods, or the passenger?[sm=lildevil.gif]

 

I've been at the TN HOG rally all week. We have overe 3,000 Harleys here, and of course most are big-twin bikes. No one has given me any crap about riding a Sporty.

Quite the contrary!!

But that's a long story, that I will include in a TN HOG recap post at the conclusion of the Rally. I've been having a blast, much more fun than I anticipated. I'm just taking a short pause from the Rally this morning, needed to do some catch up work here.

 

I can't Wait to see what you've done.

 

Nooo, not a side-car??? [8D]

 

Same here, never had anyone say anything derogatory about mine, in fact the Tim Hortons I go to for lunch quite a bit usually has 10 or more bikes in the parking lot of all brands. I watch people walk down the line of HD baggers & Goldwings and they often stop and look at mine, most common coment is "that must be one of those sportster models, looks like fun"

 

Glad to hear that you folks aren't getting ragged. Kinda pi$$ed me off that one friend gave another friend a hard time.

 

OK....I'll tell you this...the new mods are DEFINITELY NOT a sidecar!...and yes there is a definite possibility of the passenger in the new pics! And in address to Sreynold1, "friends" do not rag other friends bikes....at least not where I come from.

 

I agree brother...It may be a long while before I ride with him again...or we may just have to set him straight!
