...3.4 gal), and put metal Harley Davidson lettering on tank (no decals). For all relative purchases I now have a 1996 frame on a brand new engine. A used 1996 1200cc Sporster would have cost at least $9,000.00--so I saved alot of money and got a much faster and better running custom engine, and was able to add a few more custom modifications with all of the money I saved.My bike is much faster and sounds better than any new or used stock factory direct ...
...no decals work on the tank. If you have a new tank put on a Harley, always look at the metal designs and insignias that can be placed on your bike instead of the factory placed or suggested decals for your gas tank. It truly makes a difference in how your bike looks. So get a new or used 883 and upgrade it to a 1200cc bike for less than 1000.00 ($650 P--UK). Safe riding to all in the UK. MarkIndiana ...

Review of Harley Davidson Sportster XLH883

Review of Harley Davidson Sportster XLH883

...it soo much! My Harley Sportster XLH883 is 2003 anniversary model. I bought it a year ago, with 8k miles on clock and stage 1 fitted in (Screaming Eagle air filter plus Screaming Eagle mufflers). I use it mainly to commute to work. 25 miles everyday, Monday to Friday. It is the only reason which make me get up at six o'clock from bed. And after long and busy day at work riding it home is so much better than best massage to relax. Harley make five ...
...modified. Personalized. Improved. Dressed up. Harley itself sell lots of accessories and parts. Theoretically you can change anything, from handlebars, pegs, sit and lights to wheels, mudguards, exhausts even engine. I have a big plan for mine. At the moment its black and chrome. It's going to be black and black. I am going to improve its performance too. First by upgrading it from 883cc to 1200cc. Later bigger carb and another cams. Does it sound ...
