Did the Sportster come with it? :)
Sportster is my current rider.

As a sportster rider you will find it an  extremely uncomfortable riding position. Plus the short riding season where you live (has it even started yet?) will prove not enough use to  keep things in Order. It needs to be in a place where it can get a 10-11 month riding season instead of a seven month garage season.

My suggestion is you put it on a southbound train this direction before any more road salt hits it. ;D

Eric...the battery terminal location is backwards. Wouldn't you need extended battery cables to reach? My negative barely reach now. I noticed in the pic at the start of this thread the guy has extended cables on there.
Good catch

Looks like a nice steal. ;D

Looks like you have lowering blocks in the rear, too. I had them, and quickly got rid of them... stiffens the rear end too much.

Did not look at the picture very good John, you the Man. I've got 2 good ones going now and two batteries on my shelf that have not been activated, did a mass buy at Advanced Auto last summer with an online discount code and it worked out to around $30.00 each. They fit perfect and hopefully last for a couple/few years.

Yes, but I just remembered a big problem....
Normal. Ground bits, both left and right have the wrong rake for drilling brass.. Huge tendency to suck the drill in and jam it.  Do you have a pin vise or small chuck you can turn by hand?

 Yes you can but if it pulling,  gonna happen quick..
The carb guys will know better on this, but I would think if you can dissolve the corrosion around that piece, it should almost fall out..

Be sweet if some high power air from a from an upstream passage could blow it out if all the threads are missing on that piece.

Squirt some carb cleaner up into a good carb and see where it comes out, can't remember off hand right now. May be around the carb mouth.
