Here is my new bike I just picked up last week. :headbang I am very excited to own a Harley now. I have a set of forward controls on order just waiting for them to show up and get installed so the bike is more comfortable to ride. Yeah its only a 883 but I like it.

very nice, what did it set you back and how many miles??
I'm looking to sell my Honda one of these days (years) and would love to get on an HD
its a brand new 09 unsure what he paid I heard there was a good sale going on
Looks nice. Do I spy black guts? I have mixed emotions about the moulding stripes. Are those McLarean wheels?Quote:

The nice thing about the 883 is that you can upgrade it to the 1200 for less than the price difference between the 883 and 1200. So if you ever catch yourself saying "why didn't I spend the extra $2,000 for the 1200," you can be assured that many dealerships will do the conversion for about $8-900.
Quick comment about forward controls: they can be a hassle if you are vertically challenged. Are you over 5'8"-9"?
That's a very nice looking bike!
black interior,cobra wing yes I do believe those are mclarean wheels- 15in we are trying to get here into chrome ponysQuote:

There is only one thing that you need to watch out for on this bike: the nub for the kick stand spring.
Large speed bumps are something you will need to keep an eye out for from now on. Oscars parking lot has a real killer in back.
No more carb on the sportys? That's cool. Enjoy your new ride!:thumbsupQuote:

All I have to say is I was scheduled for my forward controls to be installed on Thursday this week so I dropped the bike off today around noon. I got a phone call at 4:30ish this evening that the bike was done. I am so excited and West Bend Harley has taken great care of me so far. Now just have to get my engine guards ordered. It is so much more comfortable to ride with the forward controls.
For me it is the opposite: I have trouble reaching the forward controls. . .Quote:

I am happy I went out to Suburban HD in Thiensville today and ordered my Engine Guards. $168.92 after all the discounts today. So now just have to wait for them to come in so I can install them on my bike. Pictures of some of the new toys to come once they all get installed. :banana1:
Whoo sounds good keep us updated. I've been on the search for a new bike since some things have come apon my gsxr :( needs some work i don't have the money for so i gata sell i may end up with a harley but most likey not well see where the deals at
I'm beginning to plan my first Sportster adventure for 2009.
I'm thinking about going to Rolling Thunder in D.C. and then head down to Deal's Gap afterwards.
Here are the engine guards installed. chrome may have looked better but I like the black they are kind of hard to see.
