It was no touring bike, though, and when my wife and I rode distance, the Sporty would start to torture her because of the vibration. Last year we got the '07 XL1200L. I could not believe the difference that the rubber mounts make. It still has the great handling, the great torque, but better brakes, and a 140 rear tire. The EFI is pretty sweet, and they somehow retained the lumpy idle that has been lost on the EFI Big Twins. Harley did a wonderful thing when they designed the new frame.

My 06 has a 150 out back, not a big deal but I sure agree about how nice the new rubber mounts have changed the Sportster and made for a much better long distance ride. It's got to help every component on the bike to have less vibration. That 1200L is a great bike.

Couldn't vote, 'cause I don't own it anymore.

But I USED to own a rigid mounted 883 upgraded to 1203 (2003 XL883C). MAN was she fast!

I have a 76 Ironhead bought for me by my youngest daughter..Lots of engine up grades, and new paint on all the tins. I did a little airbrush on it when I painted Viper Red...

Hi, Damage. I don't think anyone would find that inappropriate as to get upset about it. It just not be as effective as putting it in the free classifieds section of this site. I would also put it on craigs list in your area if I were you. No cost, nothing to lose.

i did have it on craigs list, but i got no serious replies.. most were scams actually. I had pictures and a price and i would get emails asking for pictures of the bike and what i wanted to sell the bike for. but such is life on the internet i guess

Cudos to all of you Sporty owners. I have been a Sportster fan since 1977 and until recently i have had to deal with ridicule regarding My Sportsters. I have heard "is that you ole ladies bike", " thats the womens model,right " and " When are you going to get a big boys bike". I am at a loss when it comes to replying to other HD owners and would like a quintessential reponse that would basicly shut their pie hole. My recent purchase was a '06 883 converted to 1200, SE pipes, dyna jet kit, drag bars and some other goodies for the eyes. When i figure out how to post a pic i will.
