Hey all,
As of yesterday, I am a happy owner of a 2006 Sportster!!! I had been wanting one for a long time, and couldn't pass up the sweet deal for $4500 with only 2500 miles... (haven't rode in 23 years)
The previous owner (an elderly chap) said it was an 883 standard with no alterations except mufflers, but when I measured the rear shock distance from eye to eye it was 11.75". Is that the stock size for the 883 or 883L? Also the front suspension seems shorter as well (Anyone know the standard and low size?). The strange thing is the seat looks like it is the 883 standard (from comparing pictures on the internet).
I'm not complaining because I'm only 5'9" and it fits me perfect! Just would like to know if it's an 883 or 883L..
I'll post pictures soon...
Thanks for your help!
