nice gas cap. i have the same bike with a k and n filter, power commander III and vance and hines slip ons. i am very pleased; although im still scheduled for a dyno/adjustment just because i want the best possible performance
@what1961 I bought a 2009 XL1200 custom sportster last September, and I had Vance and Hines slip - ons fitted. (Noise saves lives! You can hear this one coming!)
I thoroughly recommend it, and having had the good fortune to visit Beautiful British Columbia twice I really envy you with those awesome roads!
It will be an incredible experience to ride the Harleyon the Trans Canada Highway!
We bought a 2008 Sporty 1200 Custom and is it ever agile. I own a Heritage Classic and can't even begin to lean the turns like I can on the Sportster. The pickup is quite fast and it cruises nice. One drawback: I feel like I am going to slide off the back of that stock seat. I am looking at Mustang seats.
Did you take the baffles outta your pipes? I have an 06 1200cc Halrey sportster and its a fuckin' monster with the baffles out! Iv set off car alarms man lol.
Very true. My SE2's have a paragraph stamped on them addressing the cops who pull my ass over. It is a statement from HD to them claiming that my SE2's aren't street legal. Tough. Cell phones are outlawed too.
Crotch rockets aren't for me. They are too uncomfortable and definately are not bikes to take on long hauls. I have rode this Sportster 3 times back and forth between New Mexico and California in the last ten months, try doing that on one of your crotch rockets and see how far you get.
i now own a sporty and a triumph bonnie america due to my back i can't ride crotch rockets but i never had comfort problems with my rd350lc gpz900r ninja or trimph speed triple
harleys are comfortable but they dont handle or have a lot of power you have to spend a lot on them to get them to do that
@stevfin Hey Bud, That is my dilemna,. So, after all that time, which one should i buy ?I live in the rockies in Golden bc Canada and i'm about to buy an america or 1200 low custom Harley. what do you suggest. I am 48 and bored with my 1979 Hondamatic 400 low custom, hahaha. My daughter is 11 and my girlfriend likes ridind with me in the evening. And they dont mind me getting a bigger bike. tx man Michel.
If you havent gotten any pipes yet I highly recommend SAMSON PIPES. I have a 06 883 XL Custom (Carberated, yours is fuel injected) with SAMSON STREETSWEEPERS and man they ROCK!. I just put them on and that was it. And also I put on a Kareyakun Hypercharger, I would be careful about getting one of those, mine leakes oil from the filter.
If you decide to get a aftermarket try looking into a DJM airfilter. Your bike looks nice keep it up.
