presentation of the XL 883 L Sportster Low 2005

the Harley-Davidson universe is vast enough to satisfy everyone's desires. And there's no better way to discover it than with the 883. A roadster that no longer counts its birthday candles and that has crossed the decades without batting an eyelid. Harley has made it even more accessible with this LOW version. With its suspension lowered, the 883 is a wink to ladies and short legs. A solo seat, a specific logo on the tank, a more maneuverable side stand and polished handlebars are the partners of this Sportster. On this Low, everyone can put their feet firmly on the ground. On the downside, with less suspension travel and a slim, single-seat, hollowed-out saddle, the rider will have to make a few concessions in terms of comfort, and abstain from a female passenger. But if Madame is indispensable, HD's accessories catalog (thicker than La Redoute) should satisfy both.

Thank you in advance
Best regards. 11/26/2016 09:57 Rating : 3/5 Respond to coco_40

Leyvi, ma Low.

Dragon Maniac Model 2009

What can I say except that she's great. No matter how long I let it sleep under its sheet, in the warmth of my garage (with an automatic charger), it always starts up again as soon as I return. Thank you l\'injection (purists beware). Of course, I was also bitten by the unlimited possibilities (if not by the wallet) of possible modifications to the beauty. Stage 1 (THE), 16-inch front end, advanced controls (for greater comfort) and the famous LED headlight. As things stand today, for me, it's perfect. In terms of fuel consumption, I'm on standby for around 120 km (210 with a full tank and the right tank angle when filling up). The suspension is firm (due to the lowered model), but the advanced controls provide a little extra to channel this discomfort. I don't really know what else to say, except that if I had to do it all over again, I'd do it again. V 04/15/2015 22:16 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Dragon Maniac
