Harley-Davidson's profilation of this bike
The only thing better than a street-eater is a custom street-eater, like the Sportster® 883 Custom you see here. We begin by giving it the smooth-operating, rubber-mounted Evolution® engine and 4.5-gallon tank. Then we go to work from there. We raise the handlebar, lower the suspension, and give it easy-to-reach forward foot controls.
