I bought ANOTHER sportster?! A 2017 Sportster 48

[@soorajsaikumar]

48 is just one of those sexy bikes that you want to park inside your living room

[@IronBornRider]

Amen

[@twistieslayer3592]

Congratulations. You can never beat the sound and character of the Evo Sportster.

[@IronBornRider]

Exactly. It felt so good to jump back on one

[@ramblinjay3816]

Sweet dude. I just bought my 17' Harley 48 about a month ago. Had about 1,308 miles on it when i purchased it. Absolutely love it.

[@IronBornRider]

I love the tank designs on the 17 model year. Large reason why I went for it

[@ramblinjay3816]

@@IronBornRider yeah I didn’t know too much about the peanut tank or the 48 in general when I bought it. I walked in and fell in love with it. It’s basically my first bike. My tank is white and has the Harley 1 on it. It’s sweet. Only thing I would like to change is my seat to a saddlemen since I’m only 5’5 lol.

[@joemunoz9519]

How much did u pay for it!!!

[@adingman9798]

I bought my wife an 883 two years ago, within a year after she got it she was asking for upgrades. I then bought a 1250 cc Hooligan kit, 42 mm Mikuni, aggressive cam set, short shots, 3 inch lowering kit with 10 inch shocks, lowered the front forks 3 inches, I then did a two tone silver flake and Ruby Red candy paint with some lines on it. This little bike cruises effortlessly at 70 mph. I hate to admit it but I love riding this little bike !!!!!

[@IronBornRider]

I also had an 883 and within that year I had the 1250 kit on it. Was a lot of fun and turned lots of heads

[@robbyclark6915]

Sweet looking bike. I want the Roadster 12oo. I definitely miss my iron 883. You make all the points about owning a sportster that I miss. The old school looks and feel and in a classic package. Vintage Harley Davidson made this year (or abouts). They are so easy to mod and work on, they look awesome, they sound incredible, and they actually run pretty darn good for air cooled, 30 year old technology. The sportster is an acquired taste but if you get it, you get it, and nothing else will do.

[@IronBornRider]

Very well put. It sort of is an acquired taste that you won’t get anywhere else.

[@chaveznsons]

Nice! Had a '16 48 w/ same paint scheme which is imo the best of all the 48 paint sets! Lookin forward to the 48 content!

Every little bit counts lol with Sportster I know how you feel

Sportster life!

[@djx3445]

I wouldn't write off a faring. I put a Memphis Shades Cafe Racer faring on my 48 and my wifes 883. Looks great and it does help at highway speeds. Have fun!. If you want a picture I can send it to you.

[@IronBornRider]

Thanks DJx. Yeah my other bike has a fairing so that’s primarily my distance bike. I’m fine with this one not having a fairing.

[@TechNickRides]

Very cool bike IBR. Bike sounds good and is looking sick. Customization content is going to be fun, looking forward to seeing future content 😎🏍👍

[@IronBornRider]

Thanks tet! Those mod videos are a comin

[@peacefulwarrior4078]

Congrats on getting the 48 !
I Have a heavily modded 09 nightser
Best upgrades that I can recommend is to your 💩 stock suspension !
Cartridge inserts for your forks and longer 13" and alot better rear shocks ! Night and day ride difference from stock 👍

[@IronBornRider]

Thanks PW! Unfortunately I’m gonna go in the opposite direction lol. I’m gonna lower the suspension for a more bobberesque look. My back is going to hate me 😅

[@ChopperFett]

Nice man!!!! My only knock on the 48 is the tank size. Other than that it’s a knockout of a bike.

[@IronBornRider]

Thanks chop. Yeah, I’m refueling every 50-60 miles lol

[@justicelizana2517]

I just got a 15 Forty-Eight , Loving it

[@IronBornRider]

Congrats!

[@billwilliamson9842]

congrats!!!! gorgeous bike, 48's are my favorite too. Grom? you mean *cough* Monkey .............. lol I say get a stretched peanut style tank to fill that void between the tank and seat, plus give you some more range.

[@IronBornRider]

Thanks bill! I think I’d like to get a monkey and turn it into a bobber 🐒

[@billwilliamson9842]

@@IronBornRider I have seen a few done like that from Thailand, they looked pretty damn slick.

@@billwilliamson9842 Yeah I saw a video on CZcams and it looked awesome.

[@bernardlesperance742]

I have a feeling you may like pre-2006 Sportsters (or twin cams) for a "vintage" feel and sound. They were carbureted (vs fuel injected) and emitted that classic "potato potato" sound at idle. Go back even further and you'll discover the essentially computer-less models - very basic mechanically and electronically. Then you'll know real "vintage." Give 'em a try.

[@IronBornRider]

I think you might be right. I’d love to get my hands on a vintage Harley but I don’t have the mechanical chops to maintain them and care for them. Maybe I’ll start with an older dyna or something

[@bernardlesperance742]

@@IronBornRider Pretty much everyone I know that wrenches on their own bikes is self-taught. And good thing is that the older the bike is, the easier it is to learn on - very basic mechanics and electronics. I'd encourage you to make your next bike an old 'fixer upper' and think of it as a long term project.

[@IronBornRider]

@@bernardlesperance742 I’ve heard that as well. Might have to make the leap at some point. I just love that sound and feel of older Harleys

[@cobbdouglas690]

Definitely wouldn't have traded a 48 for a Grom 😭😭😭. Could've learned cornering/stunting on it... they're so market-stable as well 😭.

[@IronBornRider]

Believe me, it pained me to do it. I love them both, but the 48 is more applicable to my life right now. I'm def. going to pick up another grom down the road.

[@aucklandsadventures]

LOL. Sooner than I thought though.

[@IronBornRider]

No sense in waiting if I know what I want lol

[@locoocho2415]

Cool bike.... How do you like the mirrors in that position? How tall are you? I like the way it looks, sweet. Something about the "48" don't know what it is you know.

[@IronBornRider]

I’m 5’8 and the mirrors are ok in that position. It’s def more looks vs function. The 48 just has that it factor

I just came across your video and im glad that i did. I just got my M endorsement 2 weeks ago and looking into getting my first bike. How comfortable is your bike? And is it comfortable to ride?

[@IronBornRider]

Awesome! Glad you’re here. Sportsters in general are not comfortable to begin with but can be done with a few mods (seat and suspension and bars). It’s one of the most customizable bikes on the planet so you can really dial it in to your preference
