Harley Davidson Sportster Custom Parts

When Harley-Davidson bolted their new overhead-valve motor to the K-Model frame in 1957, the Sportster legend began. Perhaps no motorcycle in Harley-Davidson’s product lineup has ever been so successful and versatile as the Sportster.

The reason for the Sportster’s do-it-all character probably owes at least partly to the fact that the Sportster has been in continuous production since 1957, when it was introduced with a new OHV pushrod 883cc air-cooled engine.

It has been the subject of continuous product development and improvement for 57 years. Indeed, that makes it one of the longest continuously produced motorcycle models in the world.

As the Sportster rolled on into the 21st century, a myriad of improvements, some not visible to the casual observer, continued to move the bike up the technology scale. For example, in 2000 engine and transmission internals got important upgrades, as did front brake calipers, crankshaft, wheel bearings, and improved intake and exhaust flow resulted in better power.

Through the 2000s the Sportster species has continued to evolve and grow with new sophistication and edgy design like that of the XR1200 introduced in 2007. Many sub-models also evolved, making the bike appeal to an even wider audience.

For 2015, Harley offers six Sportster models: XL1200T SuperLow, XL 883L SuperLow, XL 883N Iron 883, XL 1200C 1200 Custom, XL 1200X Forty-Eight, and XL 1200V Seventy-Two.
