PO added a two up seat, passenger backrest and luggage rack, Rush baffled slip ons, Windshield, chrome fork lowers, chrome belt guard and chrome sprocket cover etc....! It's getting ready to trip 32,000 miles and I've only had to replace the rear brake light switch. It doesn't leak or use oil and I change the oil around every 3,000 miles using Valvoline Vr1 conventional. I've ridden it 10,000 miles in just over a year. Rode to Rolling Thunder in D.C. in May, 800 miles total and was very comfortable. It's a Harley and shakes at idle but smooths out nicely at speed. I'm planning on checking the cam chain and cam shoes this fall. I gave $6,000 for it, so a used Dyna won't break the bank.
The reason I am considering a Sportster is that I have absolutely no interest in any Twin Cam under any circumstances.
