I've been on motorcycles since I was 7. Driving cars since 16. At 44 my sporty is my favorite vehicle that I have ever been on. 2 wheels or 4. Hands down.
Solid mount Sportsters are awesome. Cams, carb, pipes and it will rip!
Love my Sportster 1200, and I was always a sport bike rider. I don't have to be ringing out the throttle for it to put a smile on my face.
man, this bike sounds amazing!!!
love it! and the bike sounds great! i'm looking to change my bars on my sportster at the moment.
The best years Sportsters are 91-03 , they have beefier crankshaft connecting rods and you can take the transmission out of the cases in no time... the 04 's on up you have to split the cases take the engine out of the frame big big job, especially if you miss a shift and bend a dog or break a gear,, and the rubber mount isn't that much smoother at all !! but the 04 is to present have really good high flowing heads they're called XP heads, if you can get Buell thunderstorm heads they're very good , 04 to present have very small connecting rods and crank... my Sportster is a 91 ...it's a 98 in from a 74 in which is 1600 CC's instead of 1200 you probably did a 1200 kit to that for your modification but they make a 1250 and a 1275 kit they're really modify a 1200, use red shift cams the hot cam for that bike easy start 643 lift redshift it cost you about five hundred bucks send your stock cams. To them they'll put that lift and duration on goes like crazy, yeah I see the handlebars are changed but the wiring they could have tucked away nicely, it probably has a 1200 kit and maybe a cam change, because my 883 then it ran well but it was nothing like a 1200, the 883 is 3 in Bore the 1200 is a three and a half Bore...
The magazines say those 91-03 Sportster vibrated like hell and the post 03 ones are much smoother. Maybe it depends on the revs.
@@filippocorti6760 Its because they went from solid mount to rubber mounted engine in 04
thanks for the sticky notes!!! 2Cool! keep on keepin on..!!
+David cox will do brother
Glad to see some new scenery on the Test Ride, awesome changing the route up!!
+Shawn Whitcomb I need to do that more often
How wide are those? I want to do something like that to my bike, but it has 6” Harley risers and I’m not sure it would work.
People can diss Sportsters as much as they want, at the end of the day, the Sportsters are the last 100% American made, classic Harley. They've been wholly unchanged for a long time.
My old man has an 83 he bought off the factory floor, I have an 05 I bought from a dealership recently. I can honestly say they found a winning formula and stuck to it
At least the person is riding. I have never understood that. People would lose their minds if they saw the group i ride with. Harleys, mopeds, supermotos all together.. its about riding, not what your riding.
If I want a specific set of handle bars to sit forward away from my abdomen, like beach cruisers set up for tall person for a sportster, not like the speedsters shown here, but a 2 inch forward mount? Also can I reverse the pull back risers so they pull forward?
Hey Sean, do you recommend a duke 390 or a sporty for a beginner rider? I’m not a big guy which is why I’m looking into a sporty. I can’t seem to make up my mind and would like you’re input. I do have some experience riding. I had a grom clone I 190 swapped. I sold it to get a bigger bike because I realize now I LOVE riding. What’s high mileage for a sportster also? Thanks in advance sir oh what bars are those btw?
A sportster.... I've always wanted another sportster...😛👍
I’ve got a ‘96 sportster 1200 that I put stock Road King bars on and it really does change the way this bike rides! I’m 6’7” tall and these made ALL the difference
Did you have to change the wires/cables?
I got a 1991 sporty with a 1250 hammer kit, dyna 2000 ignition module, hotter plugs, arlen ness big sucker, and lowering kit. Been in my family for 30 yrs. Garaged kept.
For xl1200c I want to his handlebar. Should I change cables to use this bar ?
It sounds great. I have a 2015 xl883l that I wish mine sounded like that.
What are those bars? And have you got forward controls?? How do you like the forward lean?
I’m looking for a pair of the original buckhorn bars for mine. I’ve got bars like this on a 2003 hugger.
Forward controls, lowered rear end and ape hangers.
Mid controls, taller rear suspension, Mx bars... wheelies
So common, so dull
Forward controls, ape hangers, 4" to 6" over front end can't get much better than that
That post it note on the tank? The wide bars and the position of the turn e wide bars raised and moved back towards the rider would be awesome!
Sportster 883’s don’t get the recognition they deserve. They(especially the Evos’) are basically bulletproof. Rebuild the entire bike with like under 20 tools(which you can carry with you on the bike) fix em everywhere. Plus the best power-torque ratio out of the entire Harley lineup. And they ain’t slow. You can drive 55 easily on back roads or go 70 on an interstate all day long. Plus they’re cheaper than most bikes out there.
forward controls?
handle bars & foward pegs, carb jet change and cv update or an s&s, always had a sport in my 50+ years of riding, all iron heads. just sold my 82 anniversary all original from paint to seat.
Got the Highway pegs and similar bars on a 2003 hugger 883. Debating the 1200 jugs but very happy with it as an around town machine. For Highway duties I’ve got an M8 softail. Perfect set
I like your videos.sporsters are light and easy to handle.
Didn't know for sure because the 05 custom I had had some wide bars sort of like buckhorns
Does it feel like it needed another gear on the top??
I just got back from a road trip on my 04 883. Rode from massena n.y to orange t.x 5500mi total. Awsome trip wouldnt have used any other bike...
Does this bike have "further forward" controls? They look a bit forward of mids. Thanks in advance for your reply. I imagine this bike is sold but do you remember?
Oof
what the exhaust you use?
I've believe that since 1957, Sportsters are the best bike Harley makes!
Yep. Real Harleys have 4 cams. Came from the flatty 45. Only boomers on garbage barge road queens laugh at a sportster being a "girl's bike"
I just got a 95 883 hugger sportster and it has custom narrow handle bars on it and it makes it hard to handle and maneuver. Looking for some wide but not to wide black handle bars for it. Also wanna figure out how to put a speedometer on it
Im not a fan of narrow bars. Makes them feel too twitchy i rekon.
There are speedo kits that mount to the fork tube. Ive seen others mounted on the left side of the motor.
You feel the road and the twisties. No literally, you feel like your riding on the ground! Lol! It's very fun to ride.
I have those bars on my Road King and it is the bomb. You would love those bars on the King. Super comfortable.
What bars are they?
I can't go back to a sportster. First "street" bike was a 2002 1200. Jumped to a Dyna and haven't looked back. I preferred the power band (how it puts down power, not how pathetically low it is) and riding position of the sportster. But it was a pig, and I didn't understand that until I put a cam in my Dyna and bought my 94 VFR to realize how piss poor the power is on them. They need twice the power they have to be passable. And yes they need a 6th gear. Spend enough years on the highway at 80 mph and you'll agree.
your dyna isnt much faster than a sportster actually power to weight ratio is better on the sportster side but the extra gear on your dyna would have a higher top speed. The 6 speed is nice but never really had much need for it because I would rather be on back roads anyway.
@@gmg921 I think you missed the whole not a stock engine anymore part.
And I regularly take a 100 mile trip to visit my parents a few times a month. Having that 6th gear makes a difference and I'm sure you agree is situational.
Sounds awesome
what exact bars are those?
Love my sportster, 2011 xl1200c, plenty of beans
I like beach bars with width and good pull back. For me, it's like having power steering...
My 98 xl1200s is insanely fast. I love it and took it to Milwaukee from about 30 miles outside of Pittsburgh last week. Sporty’s are beasts!
You have never been on anything fast with that over endorsed insanely fast comment.
@@punishinghammer2440 Ok 👌🏼 I’m talking in reference to Sportsters, Turd Ferguson.
1200 sportster is fast for the street. Rip on the throttle a little bit and boom your over speed limit. I've owned and ridden big bore sportbike. Bought a 96 RF900R brand new back in the day. Today I ride a hammer 1275 equipped 03 sportster. I also have a 02 1200c and a 94 awaiting another hammer kit in my garage. The torque is amazing, torque is what moves you. Plenty fast for streets!
We had almost identical bike a couple of weeks ago. The stock bars made it feel top heavy and awkward. Everyone around here is into the crazy apes but those make sense.
+upside downdog exactly! Your dead on
@@Srkcycles
Not dead yet but aware. I am an old guy who will ride real until I can't.
What exhaust??????????
I'm snagging a y2k sporty 1200. The bars aren't that wide
Just picked up my first Harley. It’s an 05 sportster. I love it
Congrats ! Just picked my first up as well 99 sportster 1200 custom love it
Nice, I picking up my first Harley/sportster in two days, a 2001 883.
@@redbeardedt3437 nice ! I picked mine up with 8,000 miles on it since 1999 I’ve had it a month I put another 1,500 on … I look for any excuse 😂
When we say wide... how wide are they actually? 32in?
I have those bars on my 09 they were on it when I bought it they are 37" wide
Thank you.
Sticky notes rock! Poor man’s infotainment screen.
They look exactly like my stock 2003 FXD bars
Forward controls
Sean i have 94 883 someone did something to it, bike is fast
Could it be a screaming eagle clutch diaphragm, or S.E. plates?
Great bike, I want it bad lol.
should of seen a 1500 sportster I seen / it was beautiful.
The older the better. Evos were perfect, i have an 87 myself and i love it
Is your sporty a four speed?
@@MannyFBaby yessir
If you ever get an 1980's nighthawk please review I love the look but im 6'2 and 230 pounds so I figure i'm too big but hey, I'll listen to you
+Robert Hesbrook ok will do
Thank you not to be pushy but I love the 1984-1985 ones I know that's specific but I was once told closed mouths don't get fed
I weigh 270 and my 07 sportster is fine!
Hammer performance 1275
Those wide Moustache bars
What bars are they!
Yeah, the bars can have a huge impact on the feel of a bike. I had a 98 Shadow 750 ACE, and it came with some very wide beach bars. I swapped out the beach bars for a 27" wide dragbar. Completely changed the feel of the bike. I absolutely loved that change. Made the bike feel more aggressive with how it had me leaned forward compared to how I was upright before.
Same I had drag bars on mine I used to love laying down on my tank puting my legs on the blinkers and just flyin down the highway honestly I want a softail drop seat frame with the 240 rear end and a super short springer front end with a big spoked wheel up front black n chrome springer stretched tank solo seat
Seat or cams and obviously a proper carb tune.
I love my sportster custom 1200
obviously it's the bars
Better bars!
Forward controls, maybe a screaming eagle kit, maybe Vance & hinz pipes. Out of my 9 Harley's, 5 of them have been Harley's . 3 of them , 1 74,. 2 76's , a 95, & my last a 2001. I have ridden them across country & seldom had a breakdown. They are tuff e-nuff I f you got the balls to ride them. I'm 69 years young, so come on with it.
Wider handlebars give better leverage and more steering feel.
I''m guessing that bike has a 1200 kit installed
The handlebars, beach bars!
Is there a mod to make my sportster stop leaking oil
Why? How else would you know it has oil in the crankcase?😁
Stop putting oil in it and it will put itself out of its own misery xD
Yes.... sell it.... and by another brand :)
+DiegoMazda3 yeah it’s called proper maintenance and fixing it lol
It’s not an oil leak, it’s genuine Harley rustproofing
1200 conversion
Each to ther own..
All I want is a Sportster
+Dan Sotelo so what are you waiting for ?
@@Srkcycles I'm working on it
ok, what kind of Post-It notes will stay stuck to your fuel tank at 45+ mph in the wind? lol 😅
I have two 883's . One blk , one 883r. I wish hd would have put counter balancers,.no lets add 75 pounds in weight. And not fix the vibration.
glen gerdes the rubber mounted engines shake a lot less. Mine is smooth at 80mph.
Mines pretty smooth but where is the counter balancer? So j can do that for fun
Jacob. The sportster engines all vibrate. You just don't feel it as much with rubber motor mounts.
Anton. Sporster motors have no counter balancers. Hd went with rubber motor mounts, so you just don't feel the vibration as much. It added 75 lbs and reduced the riggety of the frame. ( more flexing in corners)
Cold start, what else kind of start is there?
The only thing more fun than riding a Sportster is owning a Sportster. I don't give a sh#@ what's faster or has 3x the displacement or whatever.
The bars
Muffler sounds good
I noticed the beach bars right off.
You didn't notice beach bars.
just surprised his handlebars are shaking to death like my sportster
Amen
Sounds like it has a big bore kit on it.
Like my stag horns on my 02 Sporty
+gcdiver nice
+gcdiver they really make the bike don’t they
I love my 08 Nightster
What he do put cruze on it?
Forward controls, bars
'91-'03 Sportsters are the best budget V twins going. Very dependable when properly maintained.
Kevin N I have a 1995 1200 Sportser in mint condition & the bike is a blast to ride. I've never had one problem with this bike. I also put wide bars on mine & it makes it handle much better. 491 lbs, 75 lbs lighter than current ones. Yeah it vibrates but it's no big deal. Puts a smile on my face every time I ride it & that's all that matters!
Rubber mount was introduced for the 2004 model year.
My bars on my XR1200 are similar but not as long. Nobody makes jokes about XR1200s!
handle bars
0:54 do'h jeeeeeezussss
that the only thing ,i wish it had six gears
1200 Sportsters are faster and more nimble than most Harley’s. If you purpose is commuting shorter distances, and you want a Harley, the sporty is the best choice.
Or a Dyna, but you’ll save a lot of money going Sportster and you lose like maybe a couple % or overall performance when you take into account power to weight ratios.
And a Dyna doesn’t split through traffic as easily if that’s your thing.
Handel bars
Bars
It's not what you ride but where you're going?! Haha! It's definitely what you ride!
+Mach1Airspace I think you are missing the point lol
Srkcycles And what point would that be? ‘Splain me!
I guess if you're posing instead of riding, sure.
XVS650 That’s absurd. Posing has nothing to do with preferring a 950 V Star over a moped.
Love the Scripture Reference.. Keep on Keepin on!!
People are going to miss Sporties when they are gone. A lot of manufactures are going to parallel twins. Boring! The Sportster has presence. You ride a Sportster like you play a musical instrument. I ride a Buell M2. It's a wonderful motorcycle. End of sermon .)
it’s a tank lift!!
Handlebars
No cowhorns
I love the bars.
Follow the leader , he's on a Honda .
When Harley started making bikes there was no Honda's anywhere in sight. They weren't made yet. Honda himself wasn't even born yet. Hard to follow what isn't there.
