2005 Harley Davidson Sportster 883LEdit
The 2005 MY Harley Davidson XL Sportster 883L has been specifically designed to accommodate riders with a smaller inseam and arm-length, thanks to the low, 26" solo seat height, which has also been positioned further forward, a new, pulled-back and wider handlebars, a lowered and re-tuned suspension package to accommodate the changes, and a more rider-friendly side-stand. At its heart lies an air-cooled, 883cc, Evolution V-Twin powerhouse mated to a five-speed manual transmission and can produce 69 Nm of torque at 4300 rpm. In all other departments, it has the same features as its Sportster 883 sibling.
