What did you do on or to your other bike part 2

Did that Custom have the 4.5 gallon tank?

Let me know when you may be in the area.  I would appreciate being able to meet.

I only met one person from one of the Sportster forums.  We met up in Victorville when I commuted (Triumph Bonneville?) from Las Vegas to Los Angeles.

Sportster.org ended circa 2012. I started posting on it circa Dec 2002/Jan 2003.  Not only was Doug Mansfield running out of space on his university computer, but his brother's demise seemed to affect him. 
 
It was replaced by the XLforum, but the ads and pop ups are now so intense, it is irritating to even browse.  I have posted only occasionally in the past couple of years.  I still have some stickies in the electrical section.

Sportster wiring sure got more complicated in 2014:

And new "Sportsters" are not Sportsters.

The '04 1200c did have a 4.5 gallon tank, and it was the first year Sportsters were rubber-mounted and so the vibrations were much less than previous models, or so I'm told.  I did my very first multi-day on my Sportster, four days beginning along the coast in Washington, then ferry to cross back over north of Seattle, beautiful hiway 20 east, dry side of WA, a little Ranier and back home.  Along the way, struck up a conversation with another rider that was completing a trip home from China, and he was riding his BMW to Kentucky.  He told me about a site called advrider.com, and that's what started a "rest of my life" interest in motorcycle travel.  

From that trip in summer of '07
 
I even packed another helmet...I have no idea why.  Olympic National Park

Sometimes I think OR has a lot of variety to explore...it does, but WA might have just as much or more.
