I have a sportster 883 but I want to switch the handlebars up. I like apes but I don't want to high. I also like the look of drag bars but I want to keep my speedometer. I need some help...
While riding my speedometer drops to zero and the motor starts to miss then the blinkers wont work this happens off and on quite frequently. today I started it and turned on a blinker than rev ed it up and the blinker quit working and the speedo drops to zero. what could it be.
I just started noticing the bike backfires after I let it warm up a bit and the exhaust stinks with the smell of raw unburnt fuel. Sparkplug on the #2 cylinder was covered in carbon deposit and the oil was runny, and stank of gas. I know the fuel is in the oil and its parked and hasn't been...
the cost of the bike...out the door is $8,370. Not sure what warrenty comes with it. I think its 2yr. but the 5yr warrenty will cost me $915. the bike is not my main transportation, I will be driving it 80 miles a day to work (round trip) so i dont put 30k miles on my car. plus i just love the...
rust OK? I used 80 grit on one gear after sealing off the bushing, then blew it off and cleaned it in solvent tank. It looks great, but are there case hardening issues or anything or is this OK to do?
The engine is on the bench, the trap door is out and the chain & sprocked cover are off. The gearcase has to be opened up again to shim the cam gears. Drift out? hydraulic press? hot/cold? Push old ones out with the new ones?
It is a 2001 Sportster with 4600 miles on it. Is the low mileage a potential warning sign? He initially wanted $3800 for it. Now he has
come down to $3500. I am only willing to pay $3000 for it. Thanks.

Hi,
I'm a new rider, and I'm buying a Harley 883 Sportster next week in black. What are some things that I can do to it? I guess "pimp" it out, if you will, or "deck it out" ? I'm very new to riding, and I want my bike to look rada-cool. I'm a young female too.
Thanks ! :)
Would you rather be forced to ride a Harley Sportster or be a prison "wife"?
For me, it may just have to be the prison thing. I mean, I'm no mo or anything, and I certainly know I don't like to take it in the turdcutter, but man, how embarrassing would it be to have to ride a Sportster? Only...
the reason is simple, it is a common belief that a woman will always choose the smallest, easiest to ride and least expensive model. Of course this is absurd, but most criticism comes from owners of larger models, and if the Ultra Classic was the lightest and cheapest, they would label...

Give these guy's a try...
Custom shop would cut and build I'm sure...just need to know the location.

Tried to start her up this morning, with the clutch in and transmission in neutral it still lurched forward and didn't crank over. I just bought it only has 16 miles on it, luckily i got a warranty. But I would still like to know what caused this to happen.
i'm looking to buy my first big bike (been riding 125cc honda up til now). i never used to like harley's simply because i didn't fit on them but i sat on a sportster with forward controls and nearly fell in love. i'm just wondering how these bikes hold up as far as mechanical durability. any...
I have never owned or ridden a motorcylce before and I just signed up to get my motorcycle license and see if I like it. I really want a Sportster 883L or a Nightster. Is this a good bike to start on or should I try something with a little less power? Tell me I don't really know much about...
