The Sportster has great styling and performance potential. Willy G. and Erik Buell both proved that.
And yeah, the chick is hot! She doesn't fit the bike very well, though.
And that is a nice custom!

She's about four feet tall!
That looks like a stock frame--that one may be just a seat, tank, rear wheel, bars and rearsets away for any Sportster. And a damn shame HD doesn't make one like that. If this doesn't exude a hipster vibe, the way they are marketing the Sportster nowadays, I don't know what does.

Call me Mel. Some years ago- never mind how long precisely- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me at home, I thought I would ride about a little and see the other parts of the world.

It's for the girls, Mel, you should know that by now.
Perhaps one for Mrs. Ville?

Even this one isn't bad once you replace the stock exhaust.

I almost dropped one of those in the dealers parking lot. Not good at all.Major Softie wrote:Even this one isn't bad once you replace the stock exhaust.
NOTHING like the low seat height of the XLCR.
Edit: the passenger pegs were unsprung, being extensions of the rear axle.
Passenger accommodations were truly an afterthought on this bike - as it should be.

Nope, nothing like it. It has a towering 30" seat height. You know, 2" lower than an Airhead.Rob wrote: I almost dropped one of those in the dealers parking lot. Not good at all.
