Harley Sportster 883- Ruined IMO

I don't usally look at Harleys for sale but just happened to see this one for sale here in the UK.
Looks like it has been ruined by the addition of "extras" which most Harley guys here in the UK seem to do. Ok to customise a bike but not to it's detriment. Each to their own I suppose.

It would look a lot better "flat black", to give it the old school look - it's just the paint, that's outta place. (Well, maybe a different seat too)

I do like white sidewalls on the right bike, that's not the right bike though. IMO the wheels aren't a good match either. Looks like a girls bike...maybe if we could see the girl all would be good.

Yes whitewalls look good on the right bike, I have put some on my KZ1000 ltd that I am re-furbing.
We'll see whay they look like on the finished article.

Personally, this is the only Sportster that I'd ever consider owning. Too bad about the AMF on the sidecover though!

This is a nice looking bike
