The weather has been the pitts lately but we got break last Sunday and put on 153 miles in mostly Sunny and 50 degree we finally managed to get the odometer to click over to 10,000 miles! Not a lot for some but it's a good total for the 1st. year and all the miles were, "double up" on our 2014 H-D 883 Sportster Super Low! Since we don't have a lot of income alot of our rides are 100-150 miles in length so it's not easy to get 10,000 in 12 months, (actually 11 months!). We've found we need to upgrade some things, ie: 1 inch longer shocks with heavier springs, progressive hd fork springs, the H-D Sporster Touring Seat and some smaller items.
Just those 3 items are about $700 dollars and that's not including the "labor" to have them installed, OUCH. Oh well we will work on getting them on as soon as we can! :) I'd love to add a "oil cooler" and forward controls but that's another $500 dollars+ labor so it's gona take us 2 to 3 years to get the Sporty upgraded like we want. LOL, we really need to hit a Lotto or even the Colorado Cash5 ($20,000) but even though we PLAY, I don't see it coming our way, RATS! ;) Sure hope this weather get's a bit better soon, we need to get a new rear tire put on so we can keep adding the miles of smiles! :)
