Good point.Higher seat height for comfort on the ole ladies tush on those long rides lol. Everyone has their own opinion.The sportster is just soo tiny in my opinion.If my wife ever wanted to start riding. A sportster would be the bike of choice.Handles NIMBLE and the guy wanted to mount a big bore kit and turbo and all for a reason.

Bofore you do anything u need to figure out how to make the cam bushings quit spinning in the case, they are bad about that and its too late once you start noticing a problem. Sell it and get a big twin.

Dont get all defensive sporty guy, I belive we we were all just messing around.
Any Harley is a guys bike IMO> BB's go on the back seat.

They make good flat track bikes too.

You know what the difference between a Harley and a Hoover vacuum cleaner is?

You can only fit one dirtbag on a hoover.



My brother had a very cool sportster. He sold it and rides a Night Train.
