never thought id own a harley, never thought i could afford one. through some wheelin and dealin i scored this extremely clean (at first glance) 1993 sportster 883.
old guy, couldnt ride it anymore cause it hurt his back and yadda yadda well he doesnt make it a secret he wanted a big bike like a heritage or something so he tried his hardest to make this poor girl into one, including working front fender light which he was quite proud of- im not knocking him to each his own. riding this thing home was an experience i hope to never have again, i sat up high with my hands damn near at my waist, it felt more like i was riding on top of it rather than in it
so once home inspection begins and removal of things to make it more "my own"
this is how the tank was attached in the rear (sitting on the frame in the front)
shortly after really riding this bike (maybe for the first time in its life) i blew out the rocker box gasket in the rear, the breather bolts for the head were there but there but just tightened in all the way, that along with self tapping screws and other red neck ingenuity anyways.........
