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.

Locktight on the outside ?.

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!

I signed up just so I could reply, "WTF dude??"

Previous owner must have been on a meth binge, seriously.

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.
