The Ironheads came in two flavors.
The 'original' was actual 55 CI (901.3 cc's) but it was called and better known as 900 cc.
In 1972 the 55 CI Ironhead was increased in displacement to 61 cc (999.6 cc's) and was called the 1000 cc Ironhead.
In 1986 the EVO based engines replaced the old 1000 cc Ironhead engine in the Sportster lineup and it was available in two flavors, the 883 and the 1100. The 1100 cc EVO was increase in displacement to 1200 cc's in 1988.

Maybe because the old Ironheads were not 883 cc's..
