Hey guys, figured someone here might be interested in this. Solid bike, needs very little, rides great. I replaced all of the top end seals last summer to fix a couple minor oil leaks. Has a plethora of cool/custom parts, and will include some stock spare parts as well if you want. Check out the pic below and ask any questions here, or feel free to throw me an offer. More pics on page 2! It's a great bike, just thinning out the herd a little. Asking $4k, located in Dallas.

I never did a build thread so here's a partial parts list:

K70 front tire on a 19" wheel, stock single disc break with a Goodridge stainless braided line (not pictured, it's brand new)
Firestone ANS rear tire, basically brand new, on the stock 16" wheel, stock disc also with stainless braided line
Hand fabbed aluminum cafe seat with under tail Radiantz LED brake/tail light (about to switch over to a Ducati Monster integrated tail light), comes with one black and one brown vinyl cover
Mooneyes louvered air cleaner
BenchMark breather bolts
Early to mid-90's 2.2 gal tank with brand new petcock
Screamin' Eagle 2-into-1 headers, wrapped, going into a cut down Kerker meg, finished with a de-baffled reverse meg cone
Norman Hyde M-bars
TT&Co fairing, no gauges though I will include a speedometer from another sportster
Burly Brand Stiletto Shocks, these are absolutely incredible and make the bike a total blast to ride

Nice. I wish I had the money (or space in the stable). Good luck, it is beautiful.

Do you have a build thread on it? I'm curious about some of the components...
 
I actually didn't ever do a build thread on it, but fire away and I'll answer any questions!

I'm gonna try to resize some pics too, so you can see the whole shebang.

Let's see, from back to front: Firestone ANS rear tire (brand new), Burly Brand Stiletto shocks (hands down best investment I've made on a bike to date), hand fabbed cafe seat (member from ChopCult) with a Radiantz LED strip for tail/brake light mounted underneath, stainless braided rear brake line (because, you know, no front brakes and all), early-mid 90's sporty tank (2.2 gal, with wonky ass petcock), Benchmark breather bolts, Mooneyes a/c, fresh top end, Norman Hyde 1" M-bars (they fucking RULE for both comfort and style), Biltwell Kung-Fu grips (also rulers for comfort and style), TT&Co fairing, fork boots, and a 19" front wheel wrapped in a new K70. The exhaust is a bastardized Screamin' Eagle 2-into-1 mated to a cut down Kerker meg, finished off with a chopped down reverse meg baffle for a big twin.

WHEW! Did I miss anything????
 
As long as I'm here, here's what it "needs"

Maybe a better mount for the license plate. I have it bolted to the swingarm, straight up, like a G.

The brake light, tucked under the seat as it is, doesn't lend itself to daytime riding. It is bright as FUCK at night though, so that's a win. Upgrading to the Monster integrated light soon

The seat isn't "perfect," one of the snaps has popped off. But it also comes with an alternate brown cover, so take your pick.

That's really about all I can think of that it would need. It isn't a show bike, it gets ridden, it gets dirty. It is being sold as such, but it is a solid bike all around. I wouldn't hesitate to ride it anywhere. In fact, the day I bought it I rode home 200 miles from Austin to Dallas without a hitch.
 
Thank you gentlemen, much obliged.

I failed to mention, the fork brace you see in the pic is not mounted, as it does not clear the fat front tire. It will come with the bike though.
 
So in light of the recent $5k Virago madness, I'm curious what you guys think about the value of the Sporty I'm trying to sell. Whether you're in the market or not, what do you think a fair price is for the above bike? Is $4k about right? It's been posted a while and, honestly, I haven't gotten very many bites. You think it's the price, the fact that it's been "customized", or something else?
 
Got any more pictures?
(not going to buy it but its pretty sweet and i like looking ;) )
 
Haha yeah Sonic, I hear you. I find myself perusing CL, eBay, the Classifieds, etc. all day long, just because I like to look. ;D
