Yep, we all like to look at a sportster. And we all love that deep rupp, rupp, rupp. The reality kicks in when you have to ride it and keep the darn thing together. I had a friend with almost this exact same sporty ( I had a 72 Electra Glide at the time) He totally rebuilt it in a neighbors garage over the course of a couple of years and we all used to tease him about how slow he was doing the work because of how meticulas he was being. He finally got her done the summer of 81 and I spent a lot of the summer riding behind him, picking up pieces that kept falling off. It was a cool bike, but he just couldn't keep it together! Nickel and dime'd him to death. He finally sold it and has never had another bike to the best of my knowledge. He just only wanted to ride a harley, but couldn't get over that bike. Shame.
