    Very clean, very nice, I would proudly ride that sporty to the local bike night.
    Many of the sheep think sportsters are half a Harley or for girls not good for touring.
    Bull crap to all of them.
    I been searching for a sporty like this one since I sold my rigid Springer 1973 kick only that was 35 yrs ago been kicking my butt since.
