Topped by a 4.5-gallon fuel tank and two-up seat, the XL Sportster 883C is powered by a fuel-injected 883cc Evolution engine with new cams for a responsive throttle and performance. Reduced clutch and brake lever effort on forward controls and a pullback handlebar provide a low profile, laid-back ride. While 21-inch Chrome Laced Steel front wheel and Silver Solid Disc Cast Aluminum rear wheel are standard, Chrome Profile Laced Aluminum wheels are optional. Choose from five solid and three two-tone paint combinations, plus three two-tone custom color options.

The only thing better than a street-eater is a custom street-eater, like the Sportster® 883 Custom you see here. We begin by giving it the smooth-operating, rubber-mounted Evolution® engine and 4.5-gallon tank. Then we go to work from there. We raise the handlebar, lower the suspension, and give it easy-to-reach forward foot controls. It all makes the riding position feel right. The custom look wouldn’t be complete without a 150mm rear tire. Chrome Profile Laced wheel options available for both front and rear. And for the finishing touch, we even gave this ride a sleek two-up seat. Because the only thing better than eating up miles of endless asphalt is sharing the experience.

A seat height of just 26 inches makes the XL Sportster 883L the lowest Sportster ever. Its ergonomics, designed specifically to fit smaller riders, include a solo seat with lower cushion height and positioned further forward than the Sportster 883. The handlebars are pulled further back and are wider, while mid-mount foot controls fit a wide variety of riders. Front and rear suspension is lowered and re-tuned to maintain precise handling. Offered in nine colors for 2006 with a special tank graphic.
