You just need to get more miles under your belt.It's a big difference,you'll get it.I had a bike smaller than yours before my 07 sportster.Now with 2000 miles on it,it fits.

boot this flame instigating troll.....that is not even smart enough to use spell check or proper English. IF YOU CANT SPELL HARLEY THEN GET THE F*** OUT

I think Harly not use alot of aluminum. They could make bikes alto lighter. Mine only weighs 400lb. And its a 1100CC! Must be a design flaw or something?

Design flaw...ahhahaha Hey, how's your neck feel after sitting at a red light for a few minutes? Or are you like all the other rocketeers and just disregard red lights?

**Okay...I'm over it.

Design flaw... come on, that's CLAIMED weight. You know that's really 440 at least, with no fluids. Actually the design flaw is the darn longevity... the American bikes just don't seem to wear out.

You guys are hillarious!! Anyway, the last bike I owned was a Suzuki 250. That was back in 76. I never owned a bigger bike but rode a few. In November I bought my Sportie. I was kinda scared of it because I hadn't riden in many years. Second day I owned it, I dumped it. Well, 1600 miles later, it almost feels like my old 250. The more you ride, the better you get. Hell in a few months you may decide you need a bigger bike. I have no plans of trading my bike right now but may in a year or so.
