Not much I would change on this bike

 

1350cc to C.I. 82.382

🧐🤔

 

There is some pretty cool stuff out there. This was one of my favorite bikes at Mama Tried last year. Hard to believe that is actually a sportster 883.




Here's a video of it as well.

 

Hard to believe all that custom work and then not touch on engine performance. Trick bike with extreme lackluster performance. I bet she cuts loose when it grabs second gear haha

 

Too bad Harley Leadership at the time were too bleeping stupid not to cater to those who wanted an American sport bike and decided Baggers were priority over everything . They would be way better off if they would have kept Buell. Even Sneaker Boy doesn't see the mistake as of yet and is repeating the same

 

I am sure it's tuned but I like that they left the motor alone because when I first saw it in person I had a hard time understanding what I was looking at with the 883 graphics until I focused on the motor and realized right away it actually was a Sportster. It's the rear brake setup that is really crazy to me.

 

I dig it. I wish the real Buell was still around, would likely have one if so.

 

There's something very appealing about a "not pretty" - all business V-twin. I especially liked it with the welds showing before he metal finished the raw aluminum tank and painted it. He said 1350cc so possibly it's a ten over stock bore 4 1/4" stroker. I would only add a XB-long swingarm and a more harleyesque tailpiece to it to make it perfect in my eyes. The guy has some serious fab skills that's for sure!

 

Stroker on a rubbermount? Nobody even makes a stroker for a rubbermount. Even if it was custom it wouldn’t make any sense at all. Nobody hardly ever runs odd combos because the price is absurd. You see odd combos on race only bikes most of the time.

 

A expertly performed dynamic balance on a 4 1/4" stroke HD V-Twin motor will be every bit as smooth as the randomly balanced 3 13/16" stock factory rotating assembly, most likely smoother!.. But it's a moot point anyway because it's stated in the bike EXIF article that the motor capacity increase was from an increase in bore size only. The 1350 cc comment is probably a misspeak because none of the common oversize big bore kits will give you exactly 1350cc. And the motor now has solid mounts in place of the original rubber mounts, not that it would matter in an argument based in reality!
