The little smiley face didn't post in the right place. That idiot should not be let anywhere near a motorcycle, or other people for that matter.

I think maybe you overpaid. Coulda done a lot better for $3000. Just my opinion of course.
Unless the year is important to you. But then I don't much care for the newer ones in the first place.
if ya get stumped for answers there's another forum for just sportsters that has some really knowledge people.
Good luck!

You might be right. In which case, acetone won't touch it and the OP is in for a real treat. Which he is already.
