2004 Harley Davidson Sportster 883
Custom

The bold new Sportster 883 Custom offers fresh, swept-back
styling. The rubber-mounted engine and extra-low seat
(668 mm) make this a bike you can ride all day. The
new fuel tank holds 17 litres yet retains the "peanut"
profile of the traditional 12.5 litre Sportster tank.
Pull-back handlebars as well as a new swept-back riser,
move the grips 38 mm further back, while new foot
controls are also 38 mm back, compared to the 2003
model.
