Update - just bought some new pipes off of Craigslist. Picking up a new seat tomorrow. Most of the rust is gone. Surprisingly, the battery box, which was in the worst condition, polished right up!

I've got some new (used) mirrors which I'll put on tonight. I S100'd parts of the bike. That stuff really works! I'll post some more pictures tomorrow. Pretty happy with the way it's cleaning up.

As far as performance, i have the V65 when I want to go fast (that thing is scary!). The Sportster is like a gateway bike to a bigger V-twin. I resisted the Harley for a long time and many miles (70,000 on the V65 before this one). I'm going to give them another look.
