Hi, i have just purchased a 2008 883 Sportster. Should there be a small factory toolkit with it and if so where is it located please?

I would check the owners manual but the PO cannot find it at the moment.

Cheers Daz

 

I dont think they come with a tool kit. But you can always order something like this....

No tool kit, Welcome to the Harley World!! did you know you have to pay extra for special Harley Air for your tyres, welcome from Cambridge

 

Supposedly a Harley toolkit comprises of a big hammer and a screwdriver. LOL. The wierd thing is that the official workshop manual for my WLA actually states that you straighten bent conrods by hitting them with a hammer, and a twisted rod can be straightened by fitting it in a vice and inserting a big screwdriver through the 'little' end and twisting. (True fact folks). Most experienced HD owners have a toolroll containing tools they've learned they need from experience. I strap mine under the bottom yoke across the forks.

 

I have an '08 myself, I got it brand new and wasn't a tool kit with it. That would've been kinda of nice but it would also be $ 175.00 up charge for it I'm sure.....lol

 

Optional extra lol...

 

cellphone , and credit card is all that is needed.
newer bikes dont have much that you can fix on the side of the road.
good news is , they dont break down like the old ones .

 

That's the funniest thing I've read all night!

 

The only tool it comes with is the dude riding it. lol

I don't know how many metrics cruisers come with a tool kit today. But you're paying for it one way or another.

 

You sir are on your own. This is what I rigged up. Enough to carry basic tools and some wire ties … plus a cell phone and credit card.
