This is my second Harley. The first was an 04 Superglide which I enjoyed, but it simply would not turn like I wanted. I am 48 and not ready for the 2-wheel "couch" that bagger rider’s love. My 05 XL1200C is a great bike. I have the stage one kit on my bike and a Mustang seat. Of the 17+k miles we put on our bike this past year 95% was two up!! The only problem with this is the stock suspension is too soft for 2 up riding. We are putting on aftermarket shocks and stiffer fork springs and oil. These so-called girls Harley will smoke the baggers in every aspect except acting like a 2-wheeled car. Don't we ride to feel the wind in our faces and get out of an enclosed environment? Bottom line, this Sporty is the best HD made if you really want to know what it feels like to ride in the Freedom of motorcycling. PS- We do 1k mile rides every 6 weeks into the Smoky Mtns. of TN & NC. The Sporty has handled it with "0" problems!!! When the XR1200 becomes available I will buy one of those and look for crotch rockets to smoke!! After 40 years of riding with 35 of those riding and racing off road I am as comfortable riding as I am breathing.

SE air kit, Stage 1 carb upgrade, custom exhaust (I modified the stock slip-ons), Mustang seat, HD backrest and sissy bar, full HD flame chrome package, HD soft grips, HD logo pegs (front & rear), chrome belt guard and pulley.
SWEET!!
