Hey guys, I'm thinking way ahead of myself. But I've got the bike bug, and I can't help it I'm pretty sure I've already decided what my ultimate bike will be...a Dyna Street Bob. I honestly have the hots for that bike. Vintage look meets bobber...LOVE IT! Oh, and in red hot denim, thank you...it's hot! Everything I've read about this bike has been awesome. It's fun to ride, corners ...

I just want to take a second to thank all you guys and gals for being such a great bunch, its been nice in this forum, I really enjoy it here and have found it nothing like the others that I belong to - ATV,Snowmobile & other Cycle ones it seems as though everyones always bickering and being disrespectful almost like its a kids game and here I have found nothing but respect and helpfulness. ...

That's what I got asked today by a bunch of non riding women at my wife's work when I pulled up on my bike. Why do people feel the need to force their views on me? Especially when they don't, haven't, and never will ride.

I was chatting with the sales manager at my local Harley dealer the other night and he was asking about the Sporty I purchased. I told him I ride it on the interstate daily back and forth to work,about 53 miles each way, and he asked if I got blown around by all the trucks. "Not at all" I answered. "That Roadster sticks to the road like glue and rides like a dream." He didn't seem to ...

I just got back for demo days at harley so I could test ride a nightster. I knew I would not be the most comfortable on it because I am 6' and they come with mids. The the seat was real bad on my bony azz and bumps defiantly were jarring. Ok I can get past that a new seat would a first buy. The deal breaker was cornering every corner I when around I hit the pegs on the ground and I was going ...

I just bought a 2006 HD Softail Deluxe. It's in nice shape except the prior owner did not clean the spokes very often and they are very grimey & grity. I have used sos pads on them but there is still a good bit of grit on them & I want to get them cleaned all the way up and polish them. Any suggestions for a rookie. Any help would be greatly appreciated. David Davis Vestavia Hills, Al...

Hi all, As you can see this is my first post. I did not whether to put this in the new rider forum (I am and 65 years old) or here because my questions are Sportster related. I am looking at a '06 Sportster form my first bike, is that an appropriate choice? If so, I have two other probems. First, it has S/E exhaust pipes that are too loud for my tastes. Other than changing them out, is ...

I'm getting ready to go on about an 8 hour trip on my 04 sportster next month. Before I go I'd like to get a quick detach windshield. I've been looking at the memphis fats. I'm 6'2'' and according to the chart I would need a 21'' windshield. Does that sound right?

Those Harleys are pretty gorgeous and the kind sales guy let me sit on them. I've been eyeing them for weeks now and checking out specs, reviews, etc. I was eyeing the Road Glide (2008 and 2009 models on the floor). I looked at it and loved it; I mounted it and stood up and noticed that my heels couldn't touch the floor at the same time. I then thought about it. Here's a bike that's ...

There was a pretty good turnout at tonight's HOG meeting of the Rock River Chapter.

I have an 04 1200c Sportster. The guy I bought it on had it set on the lowest setting and I'm planning on riding 2 up so I bought a spanner wrench to adjust it. However, I can't get it to move. I stick in the slot and start turning it and it pops right out. I've tried several of slots and it won't stay in any of them. It doesn't seem to fit the contour of the shock real well. The user manual ...
