I took a new Deadwood for a test ride. It was a nice bike, but I felt a little cramped on it. I'm 5'11", 205lbs, with a 32" inseam.

Is this something that could be worked out with some control adjustment or is would a bigger bike be a better fit?

I thought I read somewhere they were bringing back the Iron 883. Or is that the deal with the new entry level bike similar to the one the Indian market has? Or are they doing both?

WON'T START Harley FXSTS Softail 93 WONT START

Post image
4 Upvotes

Hi guys! French people who Just moved to the us
My boyfriend bought this motorcycle : Harley-Davidson FXSTS Softail Springer 1993 from a private seller, and it was running fine at first.
When we got home, the next morning it would only start by bump-starting it (push-starting it).
The following day, it wouldn’t start at all.
We took it to a mechanic, who fixed an issue with the choke and installed some kind of button under the seat that was supposed to help the motorcycle start more strongly, I think.
When we picked it up from the mechanic, it was running perfectly.
But the next morning, it wouldn’t start again
There is no clicking sound. The engine tries to turn over, but it just won’t start.

We have replaced the battery, charged it, and replaced the spark plugs, but it still won’t start.
What could be causing this problem? We spent a lot of money already and really need helps

DISCUSSION Do all dealers suck?

8 Upvotes

I’ve had a bunch of bad experiences when buying recently at a semilocaldealer. Now I tried inquiring about buying my trade-in but they wouldn’t give me a price. They kept insisting that if I came in they could make a deal

The new buy was a headache with delays, miscommunication, and promises that didn’t come true. It made me feel like I had no confidence talking to them

Are all dealer scummy? Or is this a unique experience?

DISCUSSION First New Bike

I picked up a 2026 FLXRS with a stage 1 kit. It has a Trask Assault and a heavy breather with a tune. Performance wise I love it. I am having them add the forward controls kit then possibly bags, a new seat, and pull back bars. I’m 5’10. I wish it was the black model and not the chrome model but it was a very good deal. What seat would push me a little forward and be comfortable? Mixed with some risers with a pull-back? What do you all think? I don’t hear much about the trask exhaust brand. It sound good but it does in fact assault the neighborhood when I start it. The road king is my late uncles. I’m putting a mild exhaust on it and a tune. I am not a fan of the hydraulic clutch but want to keep it relatively as is to remember my uncle with. This new bike is my jet around town bike. I ride about 60 miles round trip and it does get some moisture in the oil pretty easily. Maybe a trask trans breather? It does have some crash bars already on the way.

and it has the springer front end shocks that I just cant unsee. Now I am considering changing the Classic 650 RE for the softail crossbones.

I think there's more to it now because this is a rare bird anway, and open for lots of customizations.

Any opinions of the Cross bones?

I have a sportglide and planning to do a stage 2 on it. The dealership mechanic suggested the feuling 472 and i said I'd check it out first but when i did some research, in one of their videos, feuling suggestef the 465. Which one should i go with ? Because the 472 i think works best with 117s and mine only have a 107.
