XL 883C Sportster® 883 Custom Model Overview
A sleek look combined with a straight style for the boulevard and street make the Sportster 883 Custom a distinctive ride for 2007. Topped by a 4.5-gallon fuel tank and two-up seat, the XL Sportster 883C is powered by a fuel-injected 883cc Evolution engine with new cams for a responsive throttle and performance. Reduced clutch and brake lever effort on forward controls and a pullback handlebar provide a low profile, laid-back ride. While 21-inch Chrome Laced Steel front wheel and Silver Solid Disc Cast Aluminum rear wheel are standard, Chrome Profile Laced Aluminum wheels are optional. Choose from five solid and three two-tone paint combinations, plus three two-tone custom color options.
