Quelles sont vos avis ?

I read about this switch getting broken easily if precautions aren't taken, but I didn't know that until after taking my controls off. I can see the rubber is gone. The button sticks out just not much. Ive got a few more steps before I'm ready to install my new bars and want to order one if needed. 1999 softail.

bike was layed down after someone pulled out . do these bars look bent on the left side ?

EDIT: I bought her home a few hours ago!

Hey yall,

A couple weeks ago I made a post asking about a sportster for a complete newbie. A lot of comments said yes, but to be aware of high center of gravity, etc.

This bike is well within my price range and the seller lives on the same block as me and offered to drive it to my place if I purchase it. Its a sweet looking bike and I'd love to learn on something like this. Anything I should look out for?

Thank yall.

Hey all, just got my first set of white walls. Realized I have nothing to clean them with. Anyone have any recommendations on cleaning whitewalls?

I like to leave when it is still dark out, and then I start heading east at first light and enjoy a sunrise ride for a while. Then when the sun is fully out and bright enough to make riding east a little challenging, I can head west with the sun now behind me. I like the picture with the sun being out and the farmer working the field with the plow. That was cool to witness.

I want to do some hard camping before the cold weather comes in. I don’t plan to have a passenger. I want one so that I can strap a travel bag on the rack. Something like this would be good. I don’t want to spend a fortune, but I’ll spend what it takes. Thanks all in advance.

Built my buddy his dream performance bagger. 107-129” big bore, 11:1 comp, Ward +2 heads, Tman 4059, FXRT, Thrashin bar/riser, SPB Fab pipe and Thundermax. Made 156/152.

Just traded in my '09 FXSTB for this '25 street glide w/less than 2k miles (has tour pack but I removed for now).

Really wanted something that allowed for lengthy rides that didn't leave my older butt unable to stand up straight. -halfway through the test ride, I was sold. Truly fell in love. Been a long time since a bike had such an effect on me 😁

Made a couple posts very recently about picking up a Sportster to learn on. Found a seller that lived in my immediate era that was letting go of this 2005 883R and I fell in love with it when I went look at it.

The sound is so incredible it made my heart jitter a little bit, and I felt something I havent felt in awhile. I haven't got to ride it yet, as I dont know how. The seller was super cool about riding it to my place for me, and gave me some advice and wisdom along the way. Super cool guy, lifelong rider, and offered to teach me some stuff in the parking lot pretty soon.

Tomorrow, I go and source some gear so I can start Fred Flintstoning it around my parking lot and get ready for the MSF. As much as I love it, I fear and respect it and know to take it slow and not exceed my limits.

I'm currently living in Phoenix, AZ and am quite nervous about learning here. I drive for a living and see absolute insanity and stupidity from the drivers here everyday. I feel like it's constantly getting worse. However, I'm moving back to rural Louisiana In December as I have a house out there, and cant wait to start hitting the wide open roads without the Phoenix congestion. A goal for me is to get comfortable enough to take it out to The Superstitions and make atleast one ride to see the mountains before I head back to the swamps.

Im gonna go back outside and stare it more with a drink in hand.

I’m debating getting this bike, it would be my first Harley, does this seem like a good deal or a rip, the price is $5,500.
