Default Sorry, I'm not trying to troll, just want people to have perfect info.

The Ironheads came in two flavors.

The 'original' was actual 55 CI (901.3 cc's) but it was called and better known as 900 cc.

In 1972 the 55 CI Ironhead was increased in displacement to 61 cc (999.6 cc's) and was called the 1000 cc Ironhead.

In 1986 the EVO based engines replaced the old 1000 cc Ironhead engine in the Sportster lineup and it was available in two flavors, the 883 and the 1100. The 1100 cc EVO was increase in displacement to 1200 cc's in 1988.



I'm sitting next to an OFFICIAL HD 1970-78 sportster manual, with all due respect, nothing you've said is correct about the Ironhead, it IS an 883 (53.9 CUin) and 1000 IS NOT 999.6 but 997.6 CC (60.9 CUin) as far as evo based goes, can't tell you a thing, haven't played with one yet or needed the manual for one lol
