I have an 08 1200 nightster and i love it. Vance and Hines pipes, Screaming eagle air cleaner was on it when i bought it. I put 12" apes on it and a company called Led Sled makes floor boards for sportys that i put on. I love em cause it gives me three different leg/feet positions which is nice for long rides. I got tired of my feet wanting to slip off my forward pegs at higher speeds. Next i need to upgrade my suspension. It rides like a damn hard tail with the shitty stock suspension.

Good video. Just got my Iron 1200. Downsized from a Street Glide Special loosing 300lbs😊. Had the SGS for long distance runs. But at my age 72, was going to get rid of it, but my wife actually said I’d be miserable without 2 wheels so get something smaller. So I did. And couldn’t be happier. But the stock pipes were the 1st thing to go. Got some Cobras on it now and it sounds and breathes better. Had a tank bang from my SGS which I use for my stuff. Going backwards is definitely ok

@txmoto1991
@txmoto1991 Жыл бұрын
Yo! Great question. I bought this bike to get an easier bike to learn to ride with that allowed for some newbie mistakes, etc, easier to control, easier to pick up if I dropped it, easier to do DIY on. Basically, it was a way to test the waters and see if this was a short-term try or if I would be riding long term. It is long-term for sure!

That looks like a 3 gal tank. much better than the 2.25 gal p-nut tank. Every1 asked u gonna keep the Sporty now that ya got the wide glide I call wandering Gerty. I said YUP um keeping the Sporty,a 1991 XLH 1200. I bought her in FL over at the New Port Richie HD and put 1,000s of miles on her riding the back roads. I like that changing oil is easy on this bike, a hose under the battery tray, unloosen clamp, put vice grips on it put end into a gallon milk jug remove vice grips, a shallow tin foil baking pan under the oil filter...TX Moto, wishing u thousands of great and safe miles on ur bike. u ever use a battery tender? things are freakin awsome.

Put on nice high bars (like TX Moto did) and forward control extensions and you'll be a lot more comfortable. You might want to consider some 13.5" or even 14.5" 412 series "heavy duty" rear shocks from progressive too. Start with those upgrades, and you can probably make it work.
