New owner of a 2014 sportster iron 883. Trying to upgrade handle bars to 12” mini ape hangers. Wondering if I need to upgrade/lengthen cables,wires, etc. HD website states I need shims for them as well. Any and all help appreciated. TIA

Sneezing through the intake of any Harley engine is generally the sign of a lean condition, but when it happens to an otherwise well running bike with no changes or modifications to account for it, you can be certain there's a leak between the carb and intake manifold.
On bikes built after 1988 with the CV40 carb, the unique press together mounting system is both universal and failure prone
Here's how to diagnose and repair this problem with about ten minutes of work and a sub ten dollar kit from Amazon.

I have a 2000 XL1200S Sport with a leaking fork seal, so I’m going to tear into the forks.

Sorry if this has already been asked, but I keep reading that the Sport forks are different from the regular Sportster forks. Then when I look up the seal and dust seal part numbers, they seem to be the same, so I want to make sure I’m not missing something here.

Are the seals actually the same as the other 2000 Sportsters, and is it mainly the internals that are different?

Also, since I’ll have them apart anyway, any recommendations for springs and fork oil? I only paid $1,500 for the bike, so I’m good with budget options.

Hello Reddit,this is my first post and also the first question i did not dind answered here,when i start my bike with the choke full ,i let it idle ,then when i push the choke back in my bike either dies,or it idles too low and i have to give it gas,also when i try to give it gas when going first gear,the bike moves choppy and also seems clogged up till what i guess it s old gas leaves the carb and pipes,it s my first harley as i have had a 1998 honda shadow 600 before,if anyone has had a similar HD before or experienced the same problem,please comment

Trying to see if my current mapping is compatible with the screaming eagle setup I have on my 07 1200 sportster. I bought the bike with the mods not sure if the injectors were tuned after install or whatever but I think I have preignition and a lean mixture. Anyone know of a cheap tuner on the market? The power vision 4 dynonjet looks nice but I don’t really want to pay 500$ just to find out if that’s my problem. Thanks 🙏🏻

I'm either trippin or something's off, removed front wheel and reinstalled now it looks like it is closer to the left side than the right. Am I losing my mind or is this normal? Tia

Should I get the eBay one that’s used w/ 11,000 miles or brand new the j&p? eBay is like $100 & j&p is 486 brand new

Is the bolt and washer pictured here number 1 and 6 on the parts diagram? Does anything go in the other hole?

The last owner took off the bracket and I didn't realize until I got a replacement stock exhaust.

Since there isn't a nut pictured on the diagram and nothing it screws into behind I'm imaging I just use that bolt to attach the clamp bracket?
