eBay can be a really good source of used parts.
I know I've sold a ton of take off parts on ebay, and I've bought a few too.

CL and FB Marketplace locally would be a good source being in the middle of the pacific ocean. I have a lot of parts taken off my 2011 XL1200L listed on both so let me know what you need and if I have it and it fits your bike, will give you a good deal or may just give it to you. PM me.
Does the bike at least run good?

Hey guys
I am new to the forum and new to harley's. I bought a very much neglected 2017 sportster iron 883 a few days ago and am slowly undoing all the damage from the abusive previous owner. It seems that the previous owner had a propensity for drilling random holes, putting on random parts and using random bolts in place of original ones. One of his greatest sins was painting over the nice factory paint with a black rattle can, with horrible drips and orange skin; but hey, what can you expect for $3000.
I do need help however with figuring out how the front brake line should run. The way it sits now, it is contacting the fork when I tried to rotate the forward controls to make the turn signals to make them level with the headlight. When I got the bike, the R forward controls were rotated up 45 degrees and the L forward controls were rotated up 30 degrees. Like I said this is my first harley so I'm not sure how its supposed to look. I will attach pictures of my current situation. There also seems to be a gap between the throttle grip and the R forward control that I cant figure out how to get rid of.
So I turn to the Harley experts on this forum to guide me so I can make this bike at least halfway decent.

Thats a good outlook, it can only get better from here I wish I had taken some close ups of how the highway bar was attached before I took it off but alas. Here are some pics that show what im dealing with, though they definitely don't do it justice. Let me know if you see anything that looks weird or out of place
