Need to lower bike a little to get better footing.
Yes you buy shocks or brackets to lower the rear but you need to check tire clearance.

the sportster differs in that there are only 2 holes compared to the 3 on the softail. You drain the main oil via tube at the rear of the engine and the primary/trans with a bolt under the bike make sure you get the correct one as its close to the adjuster for the primary chain. you need 3qts for the motor with a new filter and 1qt for the primary/trans use the forumla+ or Spectro sporty heavy duty primary/trans in the primary and your choice in the motor. whilst your servicing it make sure all the motor mounts are tight and the fuel and oil lines are leak free and get the dielectric grease onto the fuse block and relays and adjust the primary chain

you must remove pulley cover and master cylinder. inside cover is a large nylock nut holding peg mount. once removed a bolt and nut should be replaced in its place as it holds some of master cylinder
SOURCE: 2007 sporster turn signals flasher , bike wont start
He's right! The key fob for the security system needs a clear signal to the module to disarm the bike. That's why the flashers turn on. If the fob is at the bike, the security module has lost it's memory, or the antenna for the key fob reception is not connected. You also need to squeeze the clutch lever to allow the engine to engage also...new safety feature i think for 07. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: How to remove and replace 2007 Harley sportster
The stock pegs have a steel core and are removed by unscrewing, they are almost always damaged beyond reuse upon removal, because the tool (ViseGrips) needed for removal has to bite down to the metal core to unscrew them. Or you could do as you are thinking, cut off the rubber to get at the steel peg and put a ViseGrip on it to unscrew it. They can be tight BTW.

Is it backfiring through carb or exhaust? Has it been sitting for any period of time? We suspect carb issues. Try cleaning carb, pay special attention to the pilot jet and main jet circuits. Clean with spray carb cleaner and air, do not use wire. Make sure needle and seat are clean.
