2011 Harley-Davidson Sportster Cafe Racer - One of a Kind!

 You will NOT see yourself coming or going on this Cafe style racer. This is built with all new and finest parts. It started out as a 2011 883XLH Low. Just finding this model was tough. as it's one of the very few with a 17" rear tire. That w/ the 18" front. give it a special stance to begin with. It has 3. 00 miles on it and is in factory new condition. Guaranteed to get looks as if you were on a 50k custom. Contact me for more pics or info. The basis for this build is a 2011 Sportster 883cc XLH. I picked it up for $5. 00. 00. It had 3. 00 miles on the odometer. The RYCA kit is $2. 00. 00 so add that to the chosen Sporty and you have a general price tag on the entire project. I found that there was approximately another $1. 00. 00 for odds and ends. This brings the total to $8. 00. NOT including labor. So doing the math you can see that you're getting a hell of a deal. As far as engine work. it was minimal. Other than the race pipes and the Joker Machine air cleaner. the engine is factory stock. The exhaust pipes are made by Vance and Hines and designed by RSD. The system is made for both torque and sound. The fairing is made by RYCA and Burly. and can accommodate the two factory gauges (speedo and tach). I installed the HD combo analog tachometer/digital speedometer. It lights up like the Tokyo skyline! The gators or pleated fork boots are from J&P cycles. The forks have a Progressive 2 inch lowering kit installed. The fork brace is custom. The handlebars are Clubmans with internal wiring. The five hole levers are from J&P also. The contrast cut brake cylinder cover and the rest of the similar contrast cut pieces (derby cover. inspection cover and timer cover) are all made by Landmark Machine. This is a theme used in addition to the cafe racer for aesthetics only. The gas tank is factory and just re-sprayed yellow (originally white) like the rest of the body parts. A race type flip cap (not shown)is used. The decal is aftermarket which ties in the race look because the checkered flag goes well with the number plates in the far rear. The shifter controls and the brake controls are billet pieces made by Chainsycle. They flip everything backwards. but the shifting pattern is still one down. four up. The brake cylinder is moved from underneath to the side for functionality. The pegs are knurled pieces made by Arlen Ness. The brake lines are made by Magnum. and are a black flexible stainless steel. The seat is made by Mustang and fits the Roland Sands Design (RSD) fiberglass boat tail pefectly. The rear shocks are Burly Stilettos and offer great stable handling out back . The rear brake light is made by RYCA. It's an LED unit that incorporates the running light. brake light and directionals. It's held in place with a two part epoxy. All lights and electrics are working. The stainless steel number plates were mailed flat for space conservation. Getting them to conform with the contours of the cafe seat was perhaps the most difficult part of the whole conversion. You had to gently roll them on a towel covered edge of a workbench. This had to be accomplished be gently bending them at TWO different axes. Once the desired shape was attained. they were screwed in place. Then the decals were applied. Lastly the whole bike was cleaned and buffed.
