      MotorCop 505, I went back to the dealership she was for sale at a few times just to look at her before I ended up trading in my Sportster. So happy I did, it's like I'm floating down the today on a boat!

        MissNickels, I think you will get many years of enjoyment out of this bike. Just looking at this single picture says it all... it just pops! There’s not a single bike that can compare to yours in the entire group. Just stunning.

        I also think you made a great move by trading in your Sportster. There’s no comparison between their looks or performance. This bike enables you to sit comfortably and enjoy your ride. Sportsters, on the other hand, have a hard, bumpy ride and can’t carry enough gas to do anything but riding it to the local Hooters for Bike Nights. 🙄

        This bike is made to ride!

        If you do choose to actually take trips and ride this magnificent bike, I have 3 suggestions:

        • Purchase some padded bicycle shorts from eBay, Amazon, or Alibaba Express. You can also purchase just the padded segments with different padding strengths, and ones specific to women vs men or generic. No matter how good your seat is, these pants/inserts will make your ride far more comfortable, especially when you go past 100 miles or so.

        • Be sure to wear clothes that have padding and leather/ballistic nylon, but which are also highly visible. If you do a search on eBay for “hi vis police vest” you should se some very good vests in “fluorescent yellow green” as NHTSA describes that bright color used at pedestrian x-walks. They should have plenty of reflective tape on it, including blue and white checked pattern (for police), red & white (fire service), or green & white/yellow (EMS/Paramedics).

        You can also buy reflective tape with blue & white checked or with arrows (>>>>) for placing on the rear sides of your saddle bags.

        I suggest police for the vest and tape since the blue & white will compliment your bike.
