I should contribute...
I'm 40
'05 XL 883 - 1200 conversion
I've put about 25000 kms on it. Did the conversion about 8000 kms ago
100% satisfied with it since the engine upgrades, not so much before that. Its my daily commuter in the riding season. I plan on a trip though the BC/Alberta Rockies this summer so we'll see how that goes.

I couldn't make them work with my style of riding, glad it's working for you.

Spring seat is super comfortable...I've ridden with a bunch of different ones, some are more comfortable than others. The set-up in the photo is one of the best.

Sounds like you're having fun making yours your own.
Hah! Must be the tall grass. Which seat is that? I may have to reconsider.

54. 07 1200. Probably my 23 bike but my first in 25-ish years. Took a long break from riding then was finally able to afford what I wanted. 100% satisfied. I want another HD but not if I have to sell this one to get it.

Very happy with it. 2 hours is about max but I could improve on that with a different seat. Like the power, fat tires and looks. Keeping my eye out for the next thing coming from MoCo. Haven't seen it yet

Talking A little off topic

^^ Hey Ronald, that avatar looks like it has a Honda Mini trail in it. I had one just like that. Lots of fun. That was my second or third "bike" after a couple of Briggs and Stratton mini bikes !
