1999 1200 Sporty Custom

The End Times May Be Here! My 1999 1200 Sporty has almost 55,000 miles on it with only a throttle return spring breaking so far. No oil leaks either, although it does eat a bit of oil (about half a quart every 500 miles or so). But I have been religious about oil changes, maintenance and proper warm up procedures. You would be surprised how many HD riders just start and go, then complain about leaks. But to be sure, there is a terrible problem in finding a place to work on your bike that won't try to treat you like a chump, but once you find a good honest wrench, 90% of your HD problems are solved (so treat him right). Later!
