Well here's Rev A of my new gas cap. It needs a few tweaks but is usable, I rode home from work (50 miles) and it's fine. It could use a thinner gasket and a better surface finish with a black coat but it works and it will not crack like the plastic internals on the OEM cap. Would be even easier...

I have a pretty similar situation where I got a 2019 that had a couple hundred miles on it and i do a little over 100 miles a day and just passed 10k miles. This problem started pretty much right away and was my biggest complaint about the bike. The gas cap seemed like an after thought and it's...

I'm thinking of just machining the inner parts out of aluminum so I don't have to worry about it anymore, right now I fixed the crack with jb weld and it is smoother than ever.

this is from my 2019 1200s with 10k miles on it now but the first crack was before 1k miles

One of my biggest problems with my bike has alwasy been the terrible gas cap. It's always a struggle to get the cap off smoothly and is the only bike I've ever had this problem on. the insides of the gas cap are plastic and under spring tension, this is the second time i hae had to repair this...

I have a similar ride to work mine's only 100 miles though, Lancaster to Malvern.

I was the only Indian of about 60 bikes at yesterdays distinguished gentlemans ride.

To anyone who uses a GoPro on their FTR where do you put it? I usually use the chest rig but its not my favorite. I'd love to have it on my helmet to see more of whats going on but that looks kinda goofy imo. So where's the best spot to put one to catch a group ride video?

I'm only 5'6" with a 30" inseam but I also have lower back issues, with the rally bars I sit more upright and dont have any back issues when im riding, you may be more hunched over than I am though. I also travel 100 miles round trip for my work commute and haven't had any issues with not using...

got a picture from the side? how far out from the forks are the lights? I think a dual lightbar setup would look a little cleaner and tucked more in between the forks, the triple bar looks like a bit of overkill.

I'm guessing this isnt coming ever, they ignored my comments on ig when I asked about these. would have been nice to have.

After googling bitumen and converting to mph sounds like you mean a twisty paved road with average speed limits. Not quite what I imagined as riding in the hills lol

Riding in the hills typically refers to being off highway, I assume you are talking about being on the road though so you lost me a bit there. I didn’t have an issue with the fat tire but the goofy forward controls gotta go

Have you ridden one? Because this idea it can only go in a straight line because the front tire is a little fat is pretty far off. I don’t think people are taking their 48’s or iron 883s through the hills as they had a pretty similar ground clearance.

hahah gotcha, I still think they should have made a scrambler model out of the sportster.

The wheelbase and ground clearance are actually very similar to the 48 and is a shorter wheelbase than some of the prior year sportsters.

I do like the more low key look to it, the speedo in the tank with that popup cap is pretty slick. the bike looks better thinned out and lightened than it does adding all kinds of touring shit to it.

what do you mean by its not actually a sportster its a cruiser with the sportster badge? what did you consider the previous sportsters to be?

I'd take that pop up gas cap over the garbage indian decided to go with on the stock bike.
