 At least with tubeless you have a good chance of plugging and riding on to get it fixed properly. Tubes are also much more likely to lose air suddenly, which could be very dangerous.

That is an awesome sporty. I really like the tire and wheel combo, definitely what catches my eye first. Keep updating on the progress with future upgrades. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Jerry... I don't think anyone would suggest plonking that beauty on its side. Certainly not me. (Though I did say I'd plonk my own bike, which is not nearly as nice, on its side in a pinch if I had to swap a tube NOW, but don't let that stop you from taking something completely out of context. Really is time to put you on ignore, I think...) OP, Beautiful Sporty you've got there.

Can't be a proper Sportster without a narrow 21" with 800 polished, twisted spokes on the front
 Just kidding I think that is the sharpest looking Sporty I've seen, I like the wide front tire on it

Love that paint scheme.
I work at a dealer and the thing that pisses me off, is the death of the stardard Harley, i.e. short/no suspension. You plan on raising the bike at all? |

Like in better shocks? Yep, the stockers are pathetic. Every serious (or less) bump or dent it bottoms out. Duo riding will be next to impossible I guess. Only 100km on the odo and already thinking about a set of Hyperpro's...

I agree about the suspension. Somewhere along the way it seems that H-D forgot they were building motorcycles and decided to focus on fashion accessories. But, I guess the market speaks... Surprisingly enough, if you spend much time on xlforum or other H-D specific forums, you'll find a lot of people actually LOWERING the 48, 72, and other already too low, bikes!  Of course I guess if your idea of going "riding" is just a quick blast down to the local bar for a few beers and a ball game...  Then standing around out in the parking lot pointing and talking about how "cool it looks"...  Whatever.... I can't wait to get longer Ohlins on the back and longer damper rods, Intiminators, and springs up front! I can't stand the bone jarring I take at the smallest sharp edged bump in the road. And I'd like to gain some cornering clearance too.
