softail or sportster
I just bought this and it's my first Harley. the Vin number says that it's an xlh883 but it has double tanks like a softail. I'm trying to figure out which it is.

That's a sportster. I doubt the tank is stock, people upgrade their tanks all the time

The shocks are a dead giveaway that it's not a softail.

By the first picture, it is a Sportster without a doubt.
