Harley Davidson Sportster 1200 XL Custom

[vetryder]

my wife has the same bike and color. except hers is set up for ridng and doesnt have all the useless vanity parts. everything we've added to hers has a use and function that adds to ridability. but thats just us, we're serious about riding. enjoy.

[highridinf250]

Nice bike. but what is custom about it.

[duende1845]

@highridinf250 That custom paint! Their is only 500 bikes in the US with that same paint! The paint is Ice Blue, Thats why is called custom! The paint changes Blue when you get close and goes back to purple when you get away. Other thing about custom is the handle bars! 1.(When have you seen a bike coming out od the dealer with that kind of apes Im talking 0miles?

2. High way bar with/ resting foot pegs. 3. License Plate move to the side.

[vetryder]

@duende1845 the paint is actually called black ice pearl

[duende1845]

@highridinf250 4. Breather kit gives the bike 10 or more horse power.

5. Rineheart pipes witch sound like the way you hear it.

6.transmission covers with the eagle.

7.shifter link with the name sporters.

8.new wire cables fir apes.

9.I already change it to a solo La pera seat.

10. I alreday drop it down 1/12.

THAT'S WHAT IS CALL CUSTOMIZING YOUR OWN BIKE. If you know about bikes you should know. .

[highridinf250]

@duende1845 sounds like accessorizing to me since costumizing means have something not bought of a shelf... im just saying didnt mean to get your panties in a bunch...

[duende1845]

@highridinf250 I think you mean fabrication! but anyway ! I wonder why harley davidson call it hd sportster 1200 xl custom! I'm gonna have to go to dealer and ask why they call it Custom!!!!

[vetryder]

@duende1845 the custom name refers to a few model specific differences from the sportster low. the custom has a 21 inch spoked front wheel and the low has a 19 inch. the custom also has different bars and speedometer gauge setup as well as forward foot controls where the low has mid mount foot controls.

[tgolding27]

Sounds awesome! I just bought the 08 as a first bike. I can't decide if I want to upgrade on the one I have, or trade it on a WG in a year.

[duende1845]

@tgolding27 thanks for looking bro!

[tgolding27]

@duende1845 LOL. I'm a girl. :-)

[duende1845]

@tgolding27 upsss sorry babe!! lol... but thanks for looking!!

[fullspectrum1971]

Nice bike. How tall are you and what do you weigh? I'm thinking of getting a Sportster but not sire if I'm too big. I'm 5'11" and weigh 225lbs

[duende1845]

@fullspectrum1971 I'm 5'8 and weight 170 lbs, you might be a little to big for a sporty! but it's all up too you !! thanks for looking!!!

[fullspectrum1971]

@duende1845 Yeah I think your right. Was at the dealer to just test size. I don't look really big because I'm not too tall 5'11" but my weight is 240. I wear the weight all over LOL... don't really look 240 but it's just the cash thing...Sporty's area way cheaper....Guess I need to keep saving LOL

[irishraider]

I think you did a great job. What made you get the Rinehart's instead of V&H or some other pipes? I like the sound and been wanting to get new pipes.

[duende1845]

@irishraider the v&v are to loud I went for Rhineharts because it has that classic harley sound!! that 's my opinion!! thanks for looking bro!!

[irishraider]

@duende1845 Yw bro. Ya man, the more I hear those pipes on your bike the better I like them. I think I found the pipes I would like to get now. Keep it straight up, have fun and watch out for the cages.

[nicklongworth]

Hey Man. Love the bike. I've been wanting to do something to my Sportster as well and I think I've found it. Did you have to get new wiring and cables for the Apes?

I'm about to do this and want to plan things out.

[duende1845]

@nicklongworth Yes I did! I got new wiring made! you can get them madre for cheap in a local motorcycle shop! thanks bor

[stupidvidz1705]

[duende1845]

@MsMia70 No!! , I had a local shop do it for me!! very cheap!!!! thanks ..

[duende1845]

Yes it is Stock bro! i love this tank, it holds 4.5 gallons. the peanut holds loke 1.5 suckss!!! but it looks cool at the same time

[bonehead1603]

@duende1845 THE SPORSTERS IS A VERY NICE MOTORCYCLE WITH THEIR SLICK LOOKS , ESPECIALLY THE 49 . THE ONLY THING ABOUT THESE MOTORCYCLE THAT I DON,T LIKE EXCEPT THE 1200 CUSTOM IS THEIR LOW GAS MILEAGE . I MEAN 3.3 2.5 I MEAN THAT SURLY SUCK SUCK SUCK . HOW FAR CAN YOU GO . COME ON HARLEY DAVIDSON WE NEED MORE GAS MILAGE ON THESE BIKES . THE 883 NEED MORE POWER OR ELSE THATS A GIRLS BIKE PERIOD . GIRLS LOOKS GOOD ON THEM . CAUSE ITS A GIRLS BIKE , THATS RIGHT I SAY IT GIRLS BIKE PERIOD .

[duende1845]

@bonehead1603 mine is a 4.5 gl and i can ride about 150 miles ! te only thing I don;t like about my bike is the tank shape!!! wish was a peneut 48 style!! thanks for looking bro!!

[ddollaholla]

What tank is that? Stock option? I'm looking at a friend's 99 1200 but HATE the peanut tank...I got one for sale if I can find a fatty like this that hugs the motor a little closer

[HHUGGER]

Muy Bonito todo. pero....

Yo considero que el Mini Ape Hanger recto, insertado en un conjunto que tiene líneas redondeadas y fluídas, no encaja, no produce armonía al conjunto.

[ownTer]

Really dude...ditch the engine guard.

[emriaco]

Is there any fella in americas who dont use ape hangers

[PradaProdigio]

Bike looks really sweet man, what make are your ape hangers? And where did you get them, they look awsome.
