Plus i saw my dad go through 3 motors on his harley. Plus you pay half the price for a metric cruiser for the same stuff. Not to mention most metric cruisers are water cooled.

As for the winsheild yes it does look gay but i bought the bike and it was on there. Havent decided if im gonna leave it or not but it is nice on rt 55 going to work

Not to offend you, but seeing a sportster with bags and windscreen, plus the little tid bits that make a "cruser" is .. eh .. hideous. And why buy a bike just to turn it into something else?

I'm not knocking Harleys as I said in other threads. I actually still want a softtail someday, but you can get a metric bike in that price range you mentioned that is low, fast, loud and gets you around town.
