The Harley-Davidson XL 883C Sportster Custom is a radical reinterpretation of the iconic Sportster design, bursting onto the scene in 2002 with an unparalleled style that sets it apart from its predecessors.
With its low seat height and forward foot controls, this bike exudes a rebellious attitude, while the drag bars, chrome speedo, and bullet headlight evoke the spirit of a street-racer. The Sportster Custom’s custom wheel treatment adds to its edgy persona, featuring a 21-inch laced-up front wheel and solid 16-inch disc rear.
Underneath its bold exterior lies a rigid mount 883cc Evolution engine, boasting a silver powdercoated finish and tall, chromed riser with drag-style handlebar. This potent powerplant is further refined by new high-contact ratio cam gears and a high-efficiency oil pump for quieter operation and reduced oil carryover.
As you take the reins of this Harley-Davidson XL 883C Sportster Custom, you’ll experience the thrilling combination of raw power, responsive handling, and flat torque curve that has defined the Sportster family since its inception in 1957.
