Harley-Davidson Sportster tech info
Harley-Davidson Sportster description
Up for sale is my 2002 883C which I've owned for three years now. I am the second owner and bought it with only 4,200 miles. It now has 15,000.
WHY SELLING IT
My wife lost her car a few months prior to our wedding in July. We're fine without a car but soon the winter will come and that will be a different story. We will need to buy a new car and we won't be able to afford to do so if I don't sell my Harley.
ADDITIONS
I've spent a lot of money and longer hours customizing my bike so that it would look like I first pictured it. I did most of the modifications myself and most recently it was done by a professional mechanic. Additions include:
- drag pipes
- Moon Eye air cleaner
- Front L.E.D. turn signals inserts by Kuryakyn
- Rear L.E.D. turn signals/running lights by Harrison Specialties
- L.E.D. taillight by D2Moto
- Burly Slammer shocks in the rear (I have but never used the front springs)
- 3.5" headlight
- 12" narrow ape hangers (new set installed a few weeks ago)
- Old Gold Garage Co. solo slick seat
- Metzler Marathon tires (installed 2012)
- side-mount license plate by Kuryakyn
- aftermarket derby/primary covers
- Side-mounted speedo
CONDITION OF THE BIKE
The bike runs hard, solid. I never had an problems starting up, it idles nicely and never had any major mechanical issues. At this time it needs a good shower! It has a few dents here and there. I recently changed the primary oil.
What to know:
- the bike just spent six weeks at the shop after an idiot pushed it on the side in Georgetown!
- the mechanic replaced the front and rear fenders, the idle/throttle cables, the front brake assembly
- the front turn signals need to be tightened (they are currently wrapped up with electrical tape)
- I did all of the front wiring myself which means that it doesn't look super tidy although it looks pretty decent and it's been well made
- the license plate holder got loose and I "fixed" it by using zip-ties
- there are no mirrors (I never thought I would say that but I really never needed them)
- the mechanic recently changed the front and rear brake pads and replaced the clutch cable
WHAT I WILL THROW IN
- 2-up stock seat
- Stock parts (lights, bulbs, risers, etc.)
- any primary oil/brake oil I have left over
RECEIPTS/INVOICES
- I kept copies of all of the invoices of the work I've done on the bike
- Most recent receipts are on email
TITLE/INSPECTION
- the title is clean but the inspection will have to be renewed
IN CONCLUSION
I love my bike. I've wanted a Harley since I was 10 years old (I'm now 30). I did a lot of work myself because I loved my bike so much and because it's very rewarding to work on the bike. I will not hide the fact that I've used it almost every day since I bought it. I'm definitely not the type of guy to leave the Harley in the garage until Sunday morning. I will not lie but I rode the bike in any conditions (sunny, rain, downpours, snow, etc.). It's not a showroom-ready motorcycle but anybody will see that I've loved it since day one.
I'm happy to share additional photos upon request and you can check out the bike most weekdays after 6:00 p.m. and on weekends.
Thank you for your time!
