monster-
thats cool on the sporty.. mine was an 82(AMC days) with the 1000cc. i put an S&S carb, and some drag pipes for a little extra power, and lots 'POP' out the pipes, but it was just never a good ride to me.. it was only a 4 speed, and it would almost rattle itself apart on the highway trying to keep up with the other big bikes at 70mph. but thats what cool about harleys, they make all different strokes for all different folks. i am a bigger guy too, so i always felt a little cramped on my sporty.. in fact, after i had pulled into the parking lot one night.. one of my buddies came out and told me i looked like i was riding around with a flashlight stuck up my ass.. needless to say, i needed a bigger bike.
i sold the bike a few months after that, bought a truck, got out of the army, and have never owned one since. on those nice spring days, i get the urge to wanna ride real bad.. but, another bike is still a few years away.. i am a patient man.
