2014 harley sportster iron 883
slow, too many points on my driver license, but perfect bike for me, i have to slow down or lose my license. i do love the retro ride. i have had it almost 3 months now and ready to tweak it.
i am thinking cutting the pipes in half for some loud noise and painting them flat black to match the bike, not a chrome fan, i have used BBQ paint in past, works fine, not a pro job, but its black.
i am also thinking flat handlebar (drag bar etc whatever you want to call it) for a more aggressive sitting position, the front turn lights got in my way of tightening the side mirrors (they come loose quickly) so i tossed out the ancient looking front turn signals, will probably replace them before inspection with other lights down lower toward front wheel, we'll see.
also not a fan of the side mounted license plate, i am looking to take that off too and just slapping it on the back of the back fender. i think that is it for this bike, at 8500 bucks. i like it, its cheap, its fun, and not a big investment, maybe next year i will upgrade to a harley breakout.
i wonder if the just cutting pipes in half would work out ok, i am willing to take the chance to save money, and if it turns out bad i will buy some new ones.
the side mounted license plate looked cool for a while but for some reason i just don't care for it, not the end of the world, the little light on it is also feminine, then again this bike is perfect for a girl. but since i am poor i will continue to ride it until i get some big boy money.
i started with a ninja 600 at 15 years old 1985 model, then a FZR 600, then FZ6, then FZ1, GSXR 1300, GSXR 750, CBR 1000, last ticket was a year ago 138/65, stand up hook up shuffle to the door, speed rocks, i don't mind dying. if i had it my way i would still be on the 1300 sports bike, its fast and loud, people get out of the way, so i can get to work. lot of sissies out there, but i am the first to stop to help someone, especially a lady or young folk.
