Hi all. Former dirt bike/sport bike guy here. Recently made the transition to cruisers with a 95 1400 intruder. Loving the bike and having so much fun rediscovering motorcycling!
Interested in doing some mods and maybe painting the thing. Looking forward to input an exchange of ideas. Also I have no idea how to post a picture here if anyone can point me in the right direction.

Lol, Thanks guys. So that was my daughter. I had to take the kids up and down the street in front of our house right after I got the bike. Definitely had the gear up and aired up the tire before we took it out of the neighborhood!
Here’s a picture of me and the lady on the bike.

Are those stock forks? Could just be the angle of the photo...
EDIT: They are stock..had to look at some photos of my old 1400.

Yeah, I’m with you. I thought it looked a little bit raked/streched too. Definitely stock forks and neck angle though.

Re: Recent convert to cruiser lifestyle
I was thinking the same thing. Get foot protection for the ladies. Don't skimp on that shit if you ever take them out for a real ride. No bare skin either and gloves, good leather gloves for you AND them!
Keep 'em safe!
