Hey folks!

Well it's finally here!
I got my first Harley!





It's a 2008 XL883
As you can likely see it's pretty much Stock.
It has a few niceities like a "pig tail" batter charger connectore, and the saddle bags.
Otherwise, It's a blank canvas and my mind is already full of things I want to do to it.

I haven't had much of a chance to ride it yet, but it's all ready.
Titled, Insured, and cleaned up.
I've taken her around the neighborhood and it's a lot of fun - though I need to lower it a bit.
(I'm a short guy)

Good news on that front - I found a Burlly brand lowering kit at the Harley shop's clearance table.
Was $120 and I picked it up for $29
It doesn't lower it much, but hopefully it will help.

The best part about the story though is that I got a helluva deal on the bike itself.
This 2008 has less than 3,500 miles.
The seller is my buddy's brother so I know the history.
(ridden once or twice a month - and ridden easy)
The seller though was too busy with other things to put much effort into selling it so I got it for a steal.

I'm stoked.
Can't wait to get it lowered and start some serious riding!

 

Very nice. Ride safe and enjoy

 

Congrats on the bike and stay safe.

 

LOOKS NEW... gotta change dat qwik as yu can... and RIDE!!!!

 

Congrats on the new scoot, she shore is purty. Just some advice on lowering, she's already gonna scrape a bit in turns. Might wanna hold off, get some saddle time in getting used to riding it, you may find she's ok where she is - just sayin'.
Have fun & ride safe.

 

Congratulations, and I agree with exemexer. It's a light bike and you may be fine once taking a rider safety course.

 

Congratulations,now ride the heck out of it.

 

Sweet bike. Best accessory I've found is gas!

 

Mazel Tov! Buying the Sporty is just the entry price. Good luck.

 

How much did you pay?
