I know it is nothing you can't handle, Lou. You can almost do the whole job with a 13, and a 10mm socket and a phillips screw driver. The you tube videos make it look easyer that it is, but it gives you an idea about whats up.

Watch out for the flimsy upper dash. It will break into 100 pieces. Ebay wants $150 for it. And it will break. The Dodge dashes are famous for that.

If there is any help I can give you when you get started, holler at me.

 

Thanks..!!

 

My first Harley was this '96 Sporty. Great bike. Except I'm 6'1", and it didn't exactly fit. I rode with my feet on the highway bar almost all the time, even in city traffic.

 

You shouldn't do that, I read a thread on here that said it was dangerous.

 

I had a 1991 XLH. I miss that bike more than any other bike I have ever had.

 

That's why I've never admitted to before this time. I am fearful that the safety police are already upset with me


While my Sporty will always have a place in my heart because it was my first (like an old girlfriend I guess), my Street Bob was my fav.

 

That is a nice Bob, right there!!

 

i'm 6'1 also, but glad mine was an '07, i bet those buck horns drove ya nuts

 

Afternoon folks!


Dan - All's well.


Never owned a sporty but I do miss my FXD sometimes even though it was too small for my 6'3" frame. The guy I sold it to lives right up the road a couple miles. He even let me ride it again a few weeks back. Told him if he ever decided to sell it, I'd buy it back from him and put forward controls on it. Fun bike that was a hoot in the twisties.


I'm still holding out for that Heritage Springer!
