I did say this story was about Billy's Sportster, didn't I? The funny thing is there's not much to tell. It's an '04 1200 Roadster with 77,690 miles on it, to which Bill has added electra Glide solo seats, crashbars (which he modified to act as an oil cooler) and hard bags. There's also a Dyna Convertible windshield and a Sportster Custom tank that increases fuel capacity by just over a gallon. Bill installed PIAA spotlights and heated grips, and he narrowed the footpegs, moving them forward an inch. He relocated the ignition switch from under the tank to the top clamp and, after breaking two drive belts, installed a cush drive in the rear hub. He tells me he gets about 10K to a set of tires and that the bike has never needed anything other than tires, routine servicing and those two belts. I should also mention that this is Bill's "good-weather bike" and only gets ridden until the first snowfall. View Related Article
