I am looking to buy a Special Edition 1976 Sportster 1000 and I wanted to find out if it's real? Can I get info from HD if I have the vin?
Could try I guess. I'd start my own thread and see if anyone else has any input - they probably wouldn't look for that question under "New to the Sporty Forum"
IMHO do the following:
-slipon mufflers
-low restriction air kit
-EFI or Carb mob(Stage 1)
That's what I did to mine and it's like "WOW" in every respect!
Actually, it came w/ the SE slip-ons and the SE Air Intake, and you're right - no comparison to stock. If it hadn't, that would be the first thing I'd do. I'd previously taken a stock 2008 for a test ride with no additions, and it ran like a choking dog.
Not sure what the carb mod would be, but at this point, it runs fine, so I'm not too worried about it. Again, this one will be the OLs to decorate
