All older Sporties were 882 cc's that they called 900's and 1000's. Great bike for the AMF era but still a 882.

It the bastard child of AMF/Harley,non motorparts are hard to find at least on the west coast.
Other than that its standard Ironhead issues.

They just sold a nice one last night on Ebay..(it had been incorrectly listed as a shovelhead):

I almost bid on it but I need to sell my boat before I go buying anything..
