i like the idea of better suspension and brakes.
i wish they could put it on a diet, tho.

for $11k tho, i wonder if you could get a used sporty for $4-5k and get new triples, forks, wheels, brakes, bars, and come out less than $11k


I bought a 5,000 mile, one-owner 2000 Super Glide Sport (FXDX) for $5,200.  After having the engine bored and stroked from 88ci to 103ci with Screamin' Eagle heads and S&S EZ-start gear-driven cams, 43mm Mikuni, SuperTrapp exhaust, ("only" 89 hp, but 113 ft-lbs of torque) and then adding full floating Brembo rotors, emulaters and Racetech springs and braided steel lines up front, plus Ohlins rear shocks,  I have a $12k bike that surprises a few folks.



I do wish it weighed a bit less, but I have other bikes for that!

Ducati DS1000SS track bike crashed 9/19/16, Ducati DS1000SS Roadster conversion street bike, 2000 Harley FXDX Super Glide Sport, 2006 Harley FLHXI Street Glide, 1967 Honda CL-90 Scrambler

Always wanted an XR1000 (and an XR750 or KR750 in my dreams).

I was at the HD dealer as 2 days ago doing my normal routine of test riding where ever I could and rode one of these- Make the beast with 2 backs, its a really nice package for HD. The exhaust is kinda hot on the legs though.
