The Ultimate Sportster Question Thread. To the MAX!

Another area that is creating a ton of threads...

Have a question about a Sportster part? Don't feel like using Google?

Then, post in here. I'll google stuff for you so the forums stay cleaner.

Not every question about where to get an air filter or bars needs a dedicated thread.

Get it?

Plus dudes will come in here and answer questions for you.

How super cool to the max!

Sorry brah.

I'm a motivated recruit and I'm gonna get all these boots to fall into formation so they're not marching about the parade deck like nasty things.

I like the idea. Kind of a sportsterpedia.

Why are sportster motorbikes so much fun?

Ok... how can I get my 883 to do wheelies? I'm talkin' mile-long, tire-smoking, panty-dropping wheelies. Anything less and you're a sissy.

If an Amish man were to ride a Sporty, would it be called a Mennonightster?

You need to put your weight as far back as you can. Pull the clutch lever in, and stomp nike into first like it owes you money.

Rack up the throttle until you bounce off the rev limiter for a few seconds and let go of the clutch like it has AIDS (it does). Ride that wheelie to the next jamboree.

I'm not moderating the Japanese section.

I don't hate sportsters at all.

The purpose of this forum is for inspiration and showing builds and builders. Beginner sportster dudes can still get down here, just not to the point of overwhelming the American section.

If there's a problem, yo, I'll solve it.

Im just giving you shit. I think its a good idea, since you can google most of these threads verbatim and the exact same thing pops up on xlforum or hdforums lol.

That is straight up legit and that is def a conversation piece, wouldn't change a thing.

PSA: Whining is a serious problem that plagues thousands of Americans, every day. Many turn a blind eye to their problem and deny it, but change starts with the man in the mirror.

Oh, and CRF, while your response concerning a practical technique for achieving the desirable "12 o'clock wheelie" was informative, perhaps the OP would also like to hear more about such practical topics as gearing and engine displacement?

sportster questions....

i am working on a 76 ironhead...
wondering about rear brake linkage... i have seen many interesting designs from welded drive chain to chain links to wrought iron... how about some photos of your rear break linkage and arm.... the coolest one will win a big bag of " absolutely nothing" as long as you pay for the postage to recieve your prize.. im estimating it will be somewhere around "nothing"
lets see them....
