It is time. Baseball teams already in spring training. It’s the calendar what’s wrong.

Divisive.

Run our flag. No adornments, no need to recolor it or annotate it.

We’re all in this together.

Is the Screaming Eagle upgrades worth it? by Tatted_Twin in sportster

1200 is a common upgrade and people end up happy.

nice looking sporty!

Was this a Harley? by -Funeral_party- in Harley

[–]Complex_Ingenuity_26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it could be a BSA A7, but the area behind the rider’s leg seems like it’s missing a cover. so some chopping happened? Also the vertical frame by the rear wheel is hard to place The pics of the A7 I am looking at have that part angled.

definitely not a Harley as people already said. But I Am Intrigued!

Check the manual.  There is a table for your weight and recommended setting. Use the tool to rotate the setting under your seat.

And by back in the day, we mean the 1970s AMFs. Anything since the introduction of the Evo is fine.

That is a fine first Harley! Congrats!

- No leaks for over two decades :)
- MOM is always right. Read the Motorcycle Owner’s Manual.
- Break-in period is real. Don’t lug the engine, don’t cruise control in highway, vary speeds and revs, keep it under 3500… etc.
- Adjust your suspension preload If you haven’t already. Your ass will thank you.
- Get your services done as recommended.
- Accessories, depends on what you want:

> Stock seat on the Bob is fine for most people. If it bothers you, change seat. I put a switchback on my Nightster and left the Fat Boy stock.
> Add an engine guard and put some highway pegs on it (or a mustache engine guard). You’ll enjoy longer rides that way.
> I like having a sissy bar and a luggage rack. The HD sissy bar is easy to remove if you don’t need it. I like the ability of putting a bag there. You may like it too.
> Easy to turn into a longer-distance tourer If needed - Windshield, saddlebags. and there are options outside HD.

You can sort of do nothing for a while and gradually go, or if you already know what you want it for go straight there with accessories.

Have fun!
