Holy Guacamole! How much have you invested in that? I'll trade you a 1991 FXR and a 2003 Road King Classic!

fatboy


soft tail deuce


Nice, ride I'm not knock'n it. I just always viewed the sporty as a girly bike. Yours modified looks pretty sweet though.

For the same $$ you could have gotten a hard tail custom chopper. Right around 20 ish.

Can it even turn over that big 240 rear tire??? Looks like an Avon, you should have gone with the Metzler Marathon ME880's instead - much better tire!

Not to "bag it", but even with $8K worth of Screamin Eagle engine parts - big bore, stroked, cam, valves, carb, etc... it is still a pooch compared to my "stock" VTX 1800... it LOVES eatin' bacon!

I bought a sporty cuz at the time that was all i could afford, i like the off the like quickness and its turning capabilities! Now its the way i want it and not even close to 20k. I have an s&s stroker kit that bumps it to like 80ci so power is a plenty, and for me id rather just pimp it then go fast...its too easy to die!

Thanks for all the compliments

Sweet sweet sweet...

Like I told you, I would love to add a Phatail kit ($7K installed), then add the new 103" kit (approx $3K).

Sigh!!! Maybe one day soon.
