Default What model + year is this Harley

Anybody know what model and year this Harley is?
I thought it was a late 80's or early 90's softail or a wide glide

Well, it's a Sportster, not sure what vintage, though.

That's an Evo Sportster, 1985 and newer but probably older than 2004. It's had the addition of a bobbed/flared rear fender, a fat bob gas tank, and it looks like a wide glide front end. Probably a 21" front wheel too.

I saw the front end and guessed wide glide. The picture was taken in the 90's so the 2000's is out of the question

The styling says mid to late 90's to me

It wouldn't be a softail with rear shocks on the side, though, right?

looks like a sportster custom. has the bucket headlight vs the eyebrow, and the 21 inch front wheel. I would say pre 1995 as the strut covers went from curved to straight in 95.

It's an early 90s (pre '94) Sporty with custom tins (Bob tank and duck tail) and paint. It has a wide glide front with the trees raked out a few degrees. It has a Corbin seat and straight pipes. I believe it was originally an 883 with added chrome.
