Harley-Davidson Sportster description

You are looking at my current daily driver. 


It began life as a 1988 harley sportster 883. I purchased it from a friend in non working condition. 

After a little diagnostic work, it became apparent to me that it needed an engine rebuild. 

In the time I was taking to decide if I was going to tackle such a project as an engine rebuild a recently complete never been run rebuilt 1996 top breather 1200 motor became for sale at the local harley shop. 

I jumped on it. (Maybe a little to fast) as I didn't realize that it wouldn't be plug and play. I had to convert to o-ring chain drive, which in my opinion is better and more easily serviceable. Also, there where issues with the kickstand and other little things that I fixed. I also installed a complete custom wiring harness that my friend and I made.  I installed a push start button and high-low beam switch within the headlight.

After basically all of last winter, I got the bike together and riding. I did a 600 mile trip right out if the gate with not a single issue. The bike screams: way faster then an 883 I had previously. I then decided to customize it with some personal touches... (up until then I was just wanting to get it going.) I bought a king and queen seat for my lady to ride with me, a sissy bar, some pull back handlebars and also made a 2 into 1 header pipe with fish tail tip. I heat wrapped it and blacked out a few things. This bike isn't a real looker to those who prefer chrome and perfect paint jobs, as its sort of on the ratty side but I will tell you what it runs like a raped ape.  It really screams. I put a screaming eagle ignition in it and that made a huge difference in the performance.

Just last month I change all the fluids, brake pads, new battery, and 2 new tires.

 This bike is a great starter bike or a perfect bike to make a chopper or bobber. My plan was to hardtail it this winter. But plans change and the economy is forcing my sale. I can guarantee the final sale price of this NO RESERVE auction won't be near half of what this bike has costed me. Please check all the pictures and bid accordingly. It will sell to the highest bidder. I also live 15 minutes from the RDU airport and will pick you up there if needed and you can begin your adventure and drive this baby home! Thanks for looking and happy bidding.  

The only thing that will not be coming with the bike is the custom Air-cleaner emblem, as it was a gift from a friend. It can be unscrewed, leaving the air cleaner cover to function as well.

Harley-Davidson Motorclothes Turns to 3M For Conspicuous Riding Gear

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

Motorcyclists should always be concerned with their conspicuity. Never is this more important than in the rain or after dark where vision is severely limited. The Motorclothes division of Harley-Davidson decided highlight its riding gear – literally.

What am I gonna do with a gun rack?

Wed, 27 Jul 2011

Living in Shoreditch I come across a unique variety of motorcycles on the road; from XS650s, to classic Lambrettas and one completely brown jelly-mould CBR600. My favourite of the regular bikes I see is this Harley-Davidson badged Armstrong MT500. In my head I like to think that the owner operates as an urban vigilante, realistically whoever rides this ex-Army bike is probably an artist and instead of a weapon in the gun holder it's probably art equipment.

2022 Harley-Davidson Road Glide ST and Street Glide ST First Look

Wed, 26 Jan 2022

ST models offer CVO-level performance Taking inspiration from its championship-winning King of the Baggers factory race bikes, Harley-Davidson introduces new, performance-focused ST versions of the Road Glide and Street Glide. Like Kyle Wyman’s King of the Baggers Road Glide Special racer, the Road Glide ST and Street Glide ST have been upgraded with some Screamin’ Eagle Performance Parts upgrades. Harley didn’t go so far as to install the same Screamin’ Eagle 131ci crate engine, but the new ST models do come with the Milwaukee-Eight 117 V-Twin with a high-flow intake, high-performance camshaft and a new exhaust to deliver the same level of performance as its CVO models.
