QR Code Link to This Post
I'm selling it because I'm just not able to ride as much as I want and trying we're trying to save up for a house.
Please note this is not an ideal bike for taller riders. I'm 5ft 7in, but any one approaching 6ft may find the riding position too cramped. Also, its a harley sports bike, so it vibrates and has a pretty stiff ride. If you are coming from a BMW or similar, you may want to look elsewhere.
I bought it in January of 2023, with 23,481 miles on it from Cortese Cycle, who took it in trade from the original owner. Has 25,2xx miles currently.
Maintenance since I owned it includes - spark plugs, drive belt, front and rear tires, battery, primary cover gasket, shifter shaft oil seal, clutch cable o-ring, clutch inspection cover gasket, brake fluid flushed, fork oil changed, oil change Royal Purple 20w50 in primary and engine

Only open issue is it needs intake seals as they leak when the bike is cold. This isn't a 30min job like a "normal" sportster, which is easily accessible on the intake side. My fix has been simply to turn up the idle when it's cold, and turn it back down at a traffic light once it's warmed up. This is confirmed via the fact that the ECU adds fuel (AFV over 100) when cold and removes fuel when warmed up (AFV around 100), and if you spray carb cleaner around the intake ports, the RPMs go up. Still completely rideable as is.
Asking $3300
