Default Does Harley Davidson make a bike with an automatic transmission?

I broke my right ankle years ago and have some difficulty shifting gears. I was looking at an 883 Sportster, but recently heard that Harley makes or made a motorcycle with auto tranny. Any insite or advice. Could I get an 883 customized so it shifts on the handlebars?

No they don't but there is a company called Ridley -I think that makes an automatic cruiser bike . Yes you or any chopper shops could modify yours to shift by hand(never seen one on the bars) with whats called a jockey shift...old school stuff-a shifter like in a car comes up vertically from trans alongside the gas tank

They do not - and as far as I know, other than the Honda DN-1 nobody does today - excluding Scooters. In the past Honda had a 750 and 400 that were "automatic", as did Moto-Guzzi (the I-convert).
