I finally broke down and decided to get a modern bike. I had been eyeing what Hide Motorcycle and some other japanese builders have been doing lately to Harleys and convinced myself.
Bought a new Harley Sportster 48. I had quite a few roadtrips planned for this summer so i decided to make a sissy bar for it and mount a swap meet fender that i believe is off of an old FLH...
Now that i have a sissy bar i dont think i have rode since without something strapped to the back of it.
Bike has been great tho... its good to be able to jump on, press a button, and go...
