I bought mine in the fall of 1996. I had to wait for the 1997 models to become available. They first made this bike in 96. So just a year later, people would think that I did a lot of work to it. Not used to the "custom" Sportster. I have mine still today. Done a lot like this one, chrome upper, lower belt guards & sprocket cover is a must. It goes so well with chrome engine. My first & only Harley, I love it. I will never forget the ride home, I took back roads because I didn't have a bike license back then. I got lost & didn't even care. Ride safe, go slow in any traffic areas. Those cars aren't paying attention and will take you out.
Don't care what they say,theres no substitute for chrome plating.
I have the same bike. The paint is Patriot Red Pearl. I got mine new in September of 1996. At that time I had to give the dealership a $100 deposit to get on a waiting list for a new bike. I did the same thing to mine new. A red Screaming Eagle coil Air box 6800 rpm ignition module. I'll never get rid of my Sportster either. My nephew will inherit it when I'm gone. That bike you have is SWEET. You can tell he loved it.
I have exact same too. Will have it forever
That sounds really good! When a Harley Davidson is properly tuned, it sounds amazing! 👍
Mine is a 2011 Nightster. Love that bike. I had a 2010 Black Denim Street Bob that I wished I never sold.
I have a 97 883 with a 1200 kit. Less than 20k on the bike, not just th3 rebuild. It was originally red like this too. Dark green now. I don't care what people say about sportys..They're fun bikes.
put a 1200 in my 99 hugger.. what a beast.. rode that thing everywhere
@MuddyFenders hell yeah. mines a hugger too. I have screaming eagles on it so it sounds decent also. My dad always told me that loud pipes save lives. I've found that to be true more than once. Just a fun bike all around. You can stand em up pretty easily too. I saw a couple of stunt builds with them recently, but I think I'm keeping this one as is. It was originally my dads bike so it's kinda sentimental. I can always get another one to modify if I want to.
Great to see chrome bikes are still out there! I'm so tired of that blacked out everything style!
I got a 02 just like this, one owners with lots a chrome. Can’t beat it!

It's York Pa bike.

Nice sporty
hotrod😁
Beauty I agree, My 85 Ironhead has the front mag wheel which I think is butt ugly
4 speed I wonder?
evo sportys were 4 speeds from 86 to 92 then they gave u the 5 gear. i hated my 89 cause it rattled ur bones that 5 gear helps a lot...
Any other bike he wears a helmet .why not on sporty
I've a great toy stripping weight off off!
