First of all, please check my feedback and realize that you are buying from one of the most respected Ebayers out there! You are bidding on my 1998 Harley-Davidson 1200S Sportster Sport in great running condition. As most of you may know, the Sportster Sport was the most radical departure from the traditional Sportster line since the XR1000 and CR1000 Sportsters. After Buell proved you could make a Sportster engine really run and also make a Harley really handle, the motor company took notice and decided to use some of that technology on their tried and true Sportster, which had grown not so Sporty over the years. So, what they did was to bolt on Buells higher compression and better flowing Lightning heads for 10:1 compression. They also bolted in high performance Buell "W" grind cams to match so the heads have something to work with. They also put in a high performance, single fire, race type ignition and two spark plugs per head for better combustion. The engine differences are seat of the pants noticeable! Much higher torque and horsepower numbers, and the engine revs much quicker, not lazy like your typical Sportster. This bike also has a stage one kit with a Screamin' Eagle air cleaner and jet kit and Screamin' Eagle pipes that help it breath even better! In addition, I threw on an 883 front belt pulley that lowers the overall gearing and makes it even quicker! In addition, they put fully adjustable (compression, rebound and dampening) front forks and piggy back rear shocks to make the bike a much better handling machine. The suspension is just amazing, easily adjustable from super soft, spongy cruising to firm, corner carving sport suspension by turning a few easily accessible dials with your fingers. Adding a passenger for the day? No problem, just dial it in. Going on a long highway ride, set 'er soft. Hitting some back roads with your sport bike buddies? No worries, dial it in. It literally takes about 2 minutes to completely change your suspension for the task at hand. The bike has 66,000 meticulously and professionally maintained miles and it still runs like a watch! It has had synthetic fluids in it since change of ownership at 9,000 miles. It has never been wrecked or abused, it's just been ridden. And once you ride it, you will see why. It is one of the most fun Sportsters you will ever swing a leg over. This bike is ready to go cross country, no problem, it has had a new Starter, brand new tires, a new clutch throw out bearing and new brake pads all the way around. It has fresh oil and primary fluid. Primary and secondary chain/belt have been adjusted. It needs nothing but a new owner. I have priced the bike to reflect the milage, but I urge you to look hard at how clean and well maintained this bike really is. Watch the video, hear it start and see it rev. It is as healthy as can be. I do have a nice chrome battery box and lid that I just had off to tighten the negative battery cable and haven't put back on yet. I also have chrome foot pegs for the nice highway pegs in front. I hadn't gotten to mounting them on yet either. If you Buy It Now, I will throw in a pair of saddle bags, a front and rear leather tool bag set, a black tank bra and a convertible, removable clear windshield! Otherwise, feel free to make an offer. I can hold the bike for a few weeks in my climate controlled shop as long as it is paid for in advance. I can also help load it on to a shipper for transport, no problem. Otherwise you can come pick it up just about any time. Heck, fly into Kansas City and ride it home!
