  • Harley-Davidson Sportster XL883R Bobber Build on a Budget. What's up everyone. Thanks for tuning in as we take this 2002 XL883R that I bought for my wife like 3 years ago, that she ended up not riding. Not a problem! I'll take it from here. My plan is to build the coolest looking bike for as cheap as I can. This is the first of two videos I will do. The last video will have a parts list and full cost total. If you have any questions or comments, please leave them below and I'll get back to you asap.
    Subscribe so you know when the final build video is out!
    Thanks for watching!

      It all depends if you are building custom pieces, or having them built. Custom wheels can take as long as 3 months. If you are trying to do it and you have the time, and money to pay for parts you can do it quickly. I've put bikes together as fast as a weekend, and it's also taken 2 years before.
