Re: robbie buys a sportster
Going to take it back apart for a proper rebuild. Should probably buy an air compressor and repair manual.

Re: robbie buys a sportster
Have not ridden it yet and it is set up real short to fit the woman I bought it from. After I get it tuned I'll start fooling around with seats and handlebars.

There's not much traffic on the XL forum. Might have to start "double posting" here as well if I get stuck.

Re: robbie buys a sportster
most certainly not trying to chase you away but I had good responses to my questions here: https://www.hdforums.com/
