883 to 1200 conversion
I have a chance to pick up a 1991 Sportster. Is there any was to tell if it has been converted from a 883 to a 1200? Any marks, on the cylinder or anything other than pulling off a head and measuring the bore?
Thank for you help,
Tom

Actually, the truth is this is my youngest brother's bike. He passed away unexpectedly at age 38 (last month). I am probably going to get his bike. It's a 1991 883 Sportster with 7300 miles on it. He put on the larger gas tank and I'm nor sure if he did the 883 to 1200 conversion. I will get the bike either way, but I would like to go to 1200 unless it's already been done. Is there no was to tell?

Thank you, I was quite a shock. Massive heart attack. You never know when you're number is up. I'm 51 and I have a 2008 Vstar custom. Nice bike, I never thought I could afford a Harley and one drops in my lap. Not exactly how I would want to get it. At this point it really doesn't matter if it's a 883 or 1200, but from what I have read in the past couple of weeks, this bike has a LOT of potential. I looks like it will turn out to be a "project bike" for me. Once I get it modified to where I want it, I will give the wife the Yammi.
