That is my plan to do with an 883. I almost purchased a 100th Anniversary 883 but didn't want to cannibalize such a significant model. I hope to make this conversion one day soon.
I've thought about a scrambler build, but I'm afraid all the custom fab work needed to build something like the bike shown is beyond my abilities or budget.
1. 2007 FLHTC Electra Glide Classic (103" Stage II)
2. 1996 FXSTSB Softail Springer Bad Boy Edition
3. 1983 FXRT Super Glide II "Sport Glide"
All I crave to complete my collection is a Sportster, and I've coveted a scrambler since I owned my first enduro bike, back in the 70's.
This is a cool rendition of the Sportster...but I've seen original XL models from 1958 or 1959 that came from the factory with high pipes, fork gators and knobby tires that appear as though the MoCo had this idea long before it became the current fad.
My XL scrambler would attempt to emulate the original, although an Evo motor would definitely be a LOT more user-friendly than the old Ironhead, IMHO.
