  • Re: help 1982 Harley sportster

    I personally love my 82 sporty. Why spend 10G's on a bike when you have one. I dont agree with what some people said about the bike not being able to be an everyday rider.

    I have a 75 sportster with a tail light that is stuck on. I just replaced the brake switch hoping that it would be a quick easy fix, but it is still lit up. Anybody that can help with any ideas of what to do to remedy this situation, it would be greatly appreciated.
