In the never ending search for another bike I've been looking at old airheads but good ones are either too rare or too old or too expensive. HD comes into the radar occasionally, Road King being the normal thing I fancy but they are both heavy and expensive. I'd rather spend less, have newer and less weight.
So that got me wondering, if you took a 1200 Sportster could you make a half decent touring machine? I don't need the biggest and best of everything, character counts for a lot as does a relaxing ride. So a screen, better suspension, new seat, bigger tank - waste of time or possibly something decent? If you started with, for example, a £6k machine the total might not be too high. Or a bit more if the 2018 version is worth it. Might even get it looking like a wee RK
Thoughts?
What about a triumph speedmaster the older one or the america version.. ?
