After a life in the dirt I have made the change. I am the proud owner of an XL50. What a great bike. I was a bit concerned about the whole Sportster stigma but had never been on one. I must say that those who don't have an XL have no idea or room to talk. I am looking forward to the knowledge and experience I will gain her. Most of all I am looking forward to meeting other owners.

You found the right place! Welcome to the forum.

The 50th Anniversary Sportster® model is a testament to staying power. Stuffed to the cylinders with 1200cc of tar-tearing V-Twin. A serialized handlebar clamp solidifies its collectible status. The classic tank - a Sportster® hallmark since 1958 - beams with a podium-topping gold badge. Moving back, the gold thread embroidered seat sports its name and birth year. The air clearner and timer cover insert are also highlighted with a matching hint of gold. A low rear suspension and tall front suspension create a raked-out, spitfire look. Limited to just 2,000 individually numbered gems. Raise a cloud of dust to the next 50 years.

It's always good to see new 2007 owners here.

OpTaylor,

Welcome to the XL Forum from Louisville Ky.

Hello OPTaylor man!

Welcome to the forum. Btw, which production number bike did you get?

Welcome from central California.

I got #1368. It is the Black adn gold version. I have been very pleased with the bike so far. It is a great bridge between a sport bike and a crusier. The thing turns on a dime and still is comfy for the long haul. I am 6' tall and the only thing I have done for the ergo's is to go to forward controls. I may look at a riser for the bats but not a large one.

I wonder how many are in Louisiana. I am in DeRidder. I didn't realize how much chrome we had on our XL50's until I started polishing it. Hope it turns a little warmer this week so we can ride.

Congrats on the new Sporty.:tour

I have an 03 1200C.....you know, the 100th ann. black and silver ones that you hardly ever see...:doh I was glad to see they serialized and limited the XL50. You will never lose the smile on a Sporty. I have a BT as well, and for longer rides, or two up...its nicer. But luckily I was able to keep the Sporty as well. The only word tyo describe it is....FUN!

Enjoy!

Welcome from NY. Cool scoot !!! I'd keep all original parts after any mods so it can always be returned to original.

Have fun & ride safe.

Regards,
