Hobbitt, was planning on changing the seat too .What do you suggest? I would like something low and comfortable.

My vote is for the Windshield.
I had the windshield and engine guard installed when I bought it.

IMHO Forward controls are cool, especially for long freeway rides and touring. It can be somewhat of a pain in stop & go traffic, parking lot and gas station manuevering. I got an exotic forward control assembly made in Italy, but you can get good ones from Harley or Drag Specialties at much more reasonable prices. I am looking for floor boards to replace the standard peg setup, but the offset location of the left & right welded brackets have made it tough for me to find. Try not to totally remove your standard peg setup for better control if you can, unless you ride only solo...then you can use the passenger pegs for your sport riding, lean in the wind position. :newsmile081:

I have also found that I ride the Harley more than my metric sport bike, and often I end up riding in unknown terrain w/ gravel or sand, so being able to use the passenger pegs to lower the center of gravity (and being able to almost stand on the pegs like a dirt rider at times) really helps. Also when riding in the twisties, being able to weight the outside peg in turns while cornering with knees against the tank, makes controlling the bike much easier. :57:

Thanks for the link.

I checked it out with great interest. Under the Sportster, there are two options for the 2007 Sporty, one for standard model and the other for high compression model.
I was not even aware that there were these different specs.
Which model is the high compression, or how can you tell?

Keep up the good work.
