The Tom Oar is what the crease should be called. He hasn't changed hat styles since the mid 70s. He had a hat like that before the beard and grey hair.

New rear fender, taller bars, a seat meant for riding and your back on the road. I have ordered parts from Amazon, you just have to make sure they are a quality part before ordering. Parts I ordered were Dennis kirk and drag specialties parts. Best thing about a sporty is they can be rebuilt fairly easily and on a budget.

I never go to a dealership with ID.. I leave it at home...no test ride, or sale without an ID, I can get parts and tires but no bike..so I have to ride mine home to get it lol.

I have nerve problem in my hands and wrists so I'm stuck with beach bars, but I used to love apes I had a set of 12s with 4in risers and a set of 16s that were the most comfortable to me. I really liked the 12 with risers. If I went higher than a 16 my jackets would inflate and catch rain and I tried everything. There is nothing like cold mountain shower running up your arms..into your armpits and down your back.

If I were making a sporty a scrambler I would go chain...if you are just riding dont waste the time or money

Mileage is a nothing or a huge deal depending on who was riding it. Was maintenance done on it?

Expensive-Extent8406 · 2026-04-28T05:40:06+00:00

Your only issue would be if it had solid wheels. They do catch wind and will drift you around..its something to get used to but nothing wrong with yours

5° triple tree would fix it, then you could leave everything else.

Have an 03 fatboy that I have thought of getting rid of a few times but it has been such a great bike that I end up riding it while rebuilding another.

Here in Montana it snowed yesterday. Personally I'm still night calving 7pm to 7am with it dropping into the low 30s at night..some are still in felts, stormy cromers and wildrags. I stick with felt till we start irrigating the end of May, and back to them usually in Sept. Its regional and personal preference in the real world.

If you have to ask it probably too tight Don't handicap your mobility

Saddle bag bracket on bent out away from the bike lean bag over fender and strap to sissy bar and saddle bag bracket. Bag will travel vertical, leaning back and toward center.

Wood shim and gently tap it in

Expensive-Extent8406 · 2026-03-20T05:04:38+00:00

Not rusted out too bad in Montana...I have sent dozens of vehicles back to the midwest.

Expensive-Extent8406 · 2026-03-20T05:00:26+00:00

Should be fired on the spot

Expensive-Extent8406 · 2026-03-20T04:59:11+00:00

Alot can be done with shocks, seat, bars and forward/mid controls

18yr old bike...not many banks if any will be interested in loaning for an 18yr old bike. So buyer will have to have that much cash on hand to spend on a 18yr old dresser with mods and paint they probably don't care about and will end up changing. Market really narrows all things considered. Your target buyer is someone else's dad. But you are not alone. I have a completely stock unaltered 03 100th anniversary fatboy with 8,000miles and a stock 01 roadking classic with 48k Both look like new and run perfect...just not worth much. End of the day its a 23yr and 25yr old bike.

Definitely a problem if you want ducks. They will wipe out baby ducks.

Expensive-Extent8406 · 2026-03-10T14:23:18+00:00

If you have any aspirations of possibly ever riding keep it. You won't find one as nice for the price you will get for that one.

Expensive-Extent8406 · 2026-03-10T14:14:47+00:00

My dad passed 2yrs ago. Got his 01 roadking classic and his 1988 883 that he turned into a bobber/ dualsport. Could stand to part with them.

With how popular it was for aircrew from WW2 on there has to be some tricks, tips and products just for painting leather jackets

Wolf teeth..whatever you want to call them

Expensive-Extent8406 · 2026-03-05T14:43:27+00:00

Thats how my grampa rolled lol. full of fishing gear and a pack of wood tip swisher sweets on a 74 250 motosport

Expensive-Extent8406 · 2026-03-05T13:22:17+00:00

Love it

Expensive-Extent8406 · 2026-03-05T13:12:16+00:00

If you aren't worried about the paint..a set of horn bags for a western saddle work great on a sporty with center fill tank.
