1993 Harley Davidson Sportster 883 Custom Build

Highlights

  • MOT valid until 22nd March 2025
  • Bespoke creation by a specialist in Dorchester, UK
  • Besides the frame and engine, everything is hand-made and unique to this bike
  • Regular oil changes carried out by the vendor

The Appeal

For many, motorcycle customization is the ultimate expression of individuality and indeed there is an irrefutable appeal to riding a machine you know is totally unique. If one motorcycle is more synonymous with customization than any other, it’s Harley Davidson.
Here we have a beautiful 1993 example which has been built by a specialist in Dorchester in the UK. Besides the frame and engine, everything about this bike is bespoke, utilising parts from other manufacturers and incorporating a number of hand-made components. Powered by a substantial 883 cc V-twin it has ample performance and reportedly rides very well indeed.
For those seeking a one-off bike that’s ready to enjoy or to make their own mark upon, this would be an excellent choice.

The History and Paperwork

  • Acquired by the vendor from a bike builder on 12th June 2019
  • Stored in the vendor’s garage
  • Regularly serviced by the vendor
  • No odometer fitted, so the mileage is unknown
  • Previously attained a day-time MOT but it has subsequently had lights fitted so it can run at night
  • MOT valid until 22nd March 2025

The Condition

  • Bare aluminium finish with black accents

  • The front mudguard is a steel BSA item which ahs been cut down and fitted to custom-made stainless steel bracketry
  • Equipped with a 'Sparto’ style rear solid aluminium and glass “Pope’s nose” tail lamp sourced from the USA
  • Aluminium fuel tank 
  • Avon tyres front and rear
  • Genuine American Indian saddle included for which the new owner would need to make a frame to fit

The Mechanics 

  • 883 cc V-twin four-stroke engine (rubber mounted)
  • Five-speed gearbox
  • Originally fitted with a hydraulic clutch but later fitted with a cable
  • Altman ignition module (fully tunable)
  • Mikuni carburettor with manual choke

  • BMW R80 Brembo brakes in good working order
  • There is provision in the frame to run wiring from the headstock internally
