Let's talk... Ironhead Sportsters

Worked on a few back in the day when I worked on HD's for a living. Even restored a '79 Sportster.

My advice? STAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY AWAYYYYYYYYYYY

Buy a new sporty, '04 and newer if you want a Sportster. You'll spend more time fixing the Ironhead than riding it, and they're not easy to fix. They're simple, but the fixes usually involve completely overhauling whatever it is you're digging into.

And then whatever it was is still a POS.

Not worth it.
