Screamin Eagle Sportster

jloomis19 · Apr 2nd, 2009, 12:06 AM

I know it doesnt exist...at least not to my knowledge....But it seems that about every Harley model has a Screamin Eagle version ie: Softail Springer, Duece, Road King, Dyna, Fat Boy, ect...I think it would be awesome to make one out of like a XL1200C. Just was thinking about it and thought I would see what you guys thought about it, and maybe one of these years get lucky and they make one....

Kinda funny that the most popular model MOCO has sold over the years is given very little ink with regards to factory customs...but I guess they use the ol' GM Chevy Nova from the sixties as the "marketing strategy model", knowing that if they offer a basic model with high chrome or flat black look, the AFTERMARKET manufacterers will fill in the void so MOCO can keep the base price as low and coverage as broad as possible.

Apparently that marketing strategy works...although as early as this year, they are provideing the all black Nightster as their version of a "factory custom"...! You will notice also, complete engines are provided for all EXCEPT the Sportster in either 883 or 1200 livery...probably because they cannot justify the cost of the motor brand new would be over 1/2 the price of a new Sporty off the showroom floor, making it a tough sell.

easier to make it yourself - cams and heads for the motor job done

but yes i know what you mean i would love a CVO sporty to see if it could or would be able to compete against the Sportster tuning brigade out there - i doubt it would as they have 90" motors out there prowling the streets - it would just end up being more chrome on a C model and may be the bolt in cam and head

I think there area couple of reasons the motor company won't do an SE Sportster.

First of all, they would over-price it, and the market probably isn't there.
Second, it would embarass all the rest of there product. Nothing else in their line could touch it-if they did it right

It is possible to approximate an SE model--at least performance wise--by building a 1250 cc conversion or doing an 88".

As they say, there are two types of big twins in the world--those who have been whipped by Sportsters, and those who will be!

2005 XL 1200 Custom; NRHS 1250 Conversion, 10.5 - 1; Stage 2 Heads; SE 536 Cams; HurricaneFlow A/F; Hurricane Oil Filter; Mikuni HSR-42; Daytona Twin Tec TC-88A Ignition; Python 2 - 1; Front and Rear Progressive Suspension; Oversize front tire; Superbrace Fork Brace; Speedway Microtach, lots of other bits and pieces.

THE $14,000 Sportster!

Hey guys I have this Screaming eagle sportster you guys talk about. I Bought it new in 1999 from Mason City Iowa. We have seen only one other bike lke this and it was also sold from there. It came stock with everything screming eagle and every one of those little fastners on it covering the hex bolts that say h-d ill load pics of it up tom mine has 12,000 miles on it and was given to me by my father who bought it new in 1999 or 1998. Ill put pictures of it up tom. If anyone else can find out how many of these were made i would gladly appriciate it. Thank you

I have a 99 SE sportster and as far as sportys go it is quick. Comes stock with adjustable shocks front and rear four plug system and tons of other stuff. i have a few pictures in my album feel free to check it out.

Curious why you refer to your bike as a SE sportster, as far as I know there was never a SE (CVO) sportster made.

Hobbit · Oct 30th, 2009, 11:03 AM

come on guys better pics of these SE sportsters - is this a model that the gurus of sportsters dont know about ???? (full sportster history from the 1st to the last is on sportster.org) is it a factory model or dealer dress up??
Sgunter the the older XL1200R's and S's came with air adjustable front end and adjustable rear shocks and 4 plug heads, is there anywhere on it that marks it as CVO (Custom Vehicle Operations)? title sales docs if you have them, as im sure if it was a full on CVO all the paper work would be with it as it would be rarer than hens teeth.

if you really want to know what your bike is punch in the VIN here
