I've been riding for almost a year now come next month, and my bike is a 2010 Sportster 883 Iron.
The only deal-killer is the notorious vibration problem at highway speeds. It turns my hands and forearms numb and painful. I don't think it's safe to drive down the interstate/freeway when I can't feel my hands!
I've tried 4 different types of gloves, including some with gel pads that were advertised to damp down vibration...yet I'm still having the same problem.
I've tried loosening up my grip as much as I can while still maintaining minimal contact with the bike, and that helps the left hand somewhat, right hand not so much.
What can I do, short of trading it in for a Road King or Victory?
