Default Well, my Sporty is gone

Short lived romance...bought it just in February, already gone. Loved the bike, and I'll miss it, but the solid engine mounts and 883 gearing on a 1200 don't do well on the highway. My search for an '04-'06 1200 Sporty or an affordable Dyna is well underway.

I'm looking at rubber mounted Sporties and Dynas. I like to highway ride 2up, so I need to get something I can run all day and not kill my nuts!

Congrats, good luck on the search for the new ride. I didn't think it would take long to sell that beautiful 90.

Default I know the feeling

I let my 04 1200R go three years ago - I have a Electra Glide - but I missed my Sportster.
It took a while to find the right bike for the right price. White was my last color choice, but the bike and price make it worth it.

I found a 04 1200C, gonna get tags today. A stock well Loved bike - time to throw away a few dollars.

Slip ons, jetting, spark plugs and AC may be purchased today.

I enjoy the Sporty ride.

Sportsters are my favorite, but I would really like to have a Dyna for 2 up. Make sure you look at and ride both. In a perfect world I would have a Sportster and Dyna with the 120R motor in it haha.
