My Sporty

2006 Harley Davidson Sportster 883 Custom

This is a page for my Harley Davidson 883 (converted to a 1200) Sportster.

** Update - the sporty is a 1200 now, but it is leaking at the pushrod tube base(s) on the rear cylinder.  :(   I love the new found power of the 1200 but after 20 miles it is leaking, enough that I don't want to ride it tomorrow which is supposed to be a sunny and 80* day on March 31st. 

This is the motorcycle that came as a fathers day/anniversary present. It was a pretty simple bike when we got it but now has a little more personality to it. The items added in the order completed are below:

  • Sissy Bar and luggage rack
  • SE Air Intake kit - replaced the kit filter with a K&N air filter
  • Chrome Accessories - bolt covers(front axle, rear swingarm), timing cover, Inspection cover, derby cover
  • Sundowner seat
  • V&H slip-on exhaust
  • Clear lense kit for front and rear turn signals
  • Color Matched air cleaner cover and battery/oil tank covers
  • Chrome sportster air cleaner cover accessory
  • Synthetic Leather Saddle Bags
  • Aux. Headlight kit w/turn signal relocation
  • Windshield
  • 1200 conversion

 

Things I want for my Sporty:
  • Highway/Roll Bar - no plans on rolling it, just a place to kick my legs out onto.  :D
  • Lots of little Chrome pieces - Engine Base cover - belt cover - etc...
  • Chrome kit for Primary and Gear Case and Sproket
  • Horn Kit to take up some space on the left side of the engine - looks goofy w/o the big horn there
  • Down the road: convert to a 1200 with the SE Kit
  • Tour Luggage pack
