Quadcab's review of Harley Davidson Sportster 1200

“Sportser XL1200L”

★★★★☆

written by Quadcab on 31/08/2012

Bought my Harley out the box late 2008. Great looking bike with 2 tone paintwork. My first bike having taken the direct access course. Amazing bike, everything I thought it would be with only one caveat. I recently decided. as my wife won't get on it, that I'd put a solo seat on. On removing the dual seat I found rust bubbles around the rear mounting hole for the single seat. Started to look closely and found rust in several other places as well. Now for those who say I haven't looked after it......It is kept in a dry, well aired, garage and covered with a breathable cover, and clenaed every time it returns from a ride out. It has done 2.2k miles from new and the real deal, has never ever seen a wet road!!

Great bike but the paint is wafer thin rubbish. Luckily I run a custom paint business so will be getting a real good going over through the winter. This is why it only gets 4 stars.

Tip ; Check for rust if buying secondhand!!

Still puts a smile on my face when I start it up though!!
