those side covers are hideous. why does harley put those things on?? if you take it off does it have a REAL oil tank underneath? that would look way better.


sorry i just hate the new bikes

it doesnt look HORRIBLE though, just the side covers. everything else flows ok.

If you take off the side covers it looks worse, im with you on that though, and to each his own.

I like the overall look of the machine, but like you said Joe, there is room for improvement.

It's a crappy plastic oil bag that wraps up down and around the downtube. With some creativity and a little mechanical ingenuity you can remove the oil tank/battery. Relocate battery and put an old skool round oil bag on 'em, scene one at a poker run. It was badazz lookin, he had all types of mods he had fabbed on his scoot. Sorry, I do not have pictures, I don't carry a camera with me.

All these sportys with whitewalls we really making me consider getting a pair but I don't know if mine could pull it off as graceful as yours.

Lookin good!

Sell me your seat whenever you get the Brawler installed.

Iagree the covers on all new Sportys need improvement, but you seem to have hit on the exact fix for your bike.

It she was mine, I'd lower the azz end an inch with eBay lowering brackets and keep the new shocks....but that's just me.
