I mean.... mirrors slung under the handlebars...wtf.....and that fat tire up front....plus that tiny lil' seat....sheesh....I could'nt ride that thang down the street and my butt would git sore... Now I like the other Sportster..the one with the upswept exhaust....now that is a fine lookin' bike in mah book... howsit2003 • View posts J'ville,Florida Senior Member Joined: 09/13/2005 View Profile Offline Posted: 01/25/10 04:21pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator btw..what do you think the 48 stands for......48 tokes on dah joint...he he heh he...... flhrsi • View posts Shawangunk, NY Senior Member Joined: 01/24/2004 View Profile Posted: 01/25/10 08:31pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Don't know what the 48 stands for; the engine is a 74 ci...

I like the way it looks. It's kinda that retro '50s style that is trendy right now. 48 is probably the year of the bike, or the year when a bike looked like that that they were styling it after. Did that make any sense? I think Harley should just bring the prices down on the blank canvases instead of creating custom looks to appeal to generate more buyers.

PayLoader, that was kinda my way of thinking on the "48" also. I actually like most of the recent variations on the Sportster, but it's still too small a bike for me.

I'm thinkin' here...I'm thinkin'.... You have to fill up that peanut tank 48 times to get from here to there... ??

I usually like mirrors mounted low like that, but the bracket looks funky. This one of those bikes that probably looks better in person.
