Just picked up my first sportster. I have been looking and saving for about a year and a half and finally found this used bike at a dealership a week ago. I can only put the dealership pic of the bike cause mine are too big. Is there a way to get more space for bigger pics. Thanks everyone for convincing me to get a sporty.

For resizing pictures, go HERE (http://www.irfanview.com/) and download and install irfanview. It's a very handy (and small) program with basic editing functions.
Once installed, open your picture in irfanview and select "Image/resize-resample".
For purposes of displaying on this forum, set the width to no more than about 500-600 pixels. Make sure preserve aspect ratio is checked at the bottom so your picture won't skew. To keep the file size small, set DPI to 72.
An image with 24 bit color, 600x600, 72dpi, saved at a jpg compression of 85% is approx. 100kB. You can easily make that even smaller by increasing the compression or by resizing a bit smaller.

You may wanna save them as jpg format. They will be much smaller file size and you can make larger images. Also, welcome to the sporty forum. :)
