A picture of the 97 Sportster in full touring dress

	A picture of the 97 Sportster in full touring dress. My wife and I spend many hours touring on this bike. This was taken in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. We did over 300 miles that day and it was great. For touring, I had a Mustang wide touring seat, a slip on backrest bag and leather saddlebags. The saddlebags and slip on bag is for sale. Both made of real thick leather. Email me for more info and pics. mail to:[email protected]
	This is a pic of the 97 Sportster I owned from August 10, 1996 to January 30, 1999. I loved this bike, but needed to make room for the Roadking. It started as a 883XLH. I had the tank painted, did all 1st stage modifications and the 1200 conversion using Wesico reverse dome pistons with Hastings rings. The bike was running with Custom Chrome Dyna Power slip on mufflers, a Teardrop stlye air cleaner with K&N filter, the standard carb rejetting, slide drilling, polishing, and a mess of chrome goodies. I went to a 29 tooth tranny sprocket to get revs down on while touring on the freeways. Click here for some pics of the relocated crankcase breather and a few pics of the 1200 conversion.
