Greetings to All:

I'm new to Harley ownership and to this site. It took 40 years, but I have my first Harley:

1993 XL-883 Sportster (only 3200 miles)
Stage 1 kit (so I'm told)
Screamin' Eagle mufflers
Lots and lots of Kuryakyn goodies
Forward controls
LePera solo seat
11.5 rear shocks
Fat Boy gas tank

It has enough "oomph" for me, though I do plan to change a few things. I'm going to get a larger seat. The solo seat is not adequate for the "ample gentleman," plus my lady has no place to sit. I also need to add passenger pegs for her. Nevertheless, it's a sweet ride without the additions.

I'm also going to get new tires (have a post about that on this site) since it has the originals. They're dry-rotted and hard as granite.

Anyway, enough about the bike. As for me, I'm just another Harley fan. I've been one since I was 7-years-old and saw the Shriners riding their Electra Glides in a parade. I work, go to church, and ride my Hog. What more can a man ask for?

Robert

Welcome to the forum Robert. If your looking for an extremely comfortable seat I don't think you can beat a Mustang Vintage. Their expensive but, worth every nickel.

Robert, you are a thief. My job I had at Boeing went to Decatur, AL (inspecting Delta IV rockets), but since you ride a Sportster your ok. Welcome from Southern Cal.

Hey Jim:

That's the seat I'm looking at. I think it will provide comfort while keeping the classy vintage look. J&P Cycles has them for a good price, so I'll see about ordering one when Pres. Bush's rebate arrives.:tour
