Hey guys - I'm looking to pick up a cheap Sportster to mess around with / customize a little bit over the winter and then in the spring possibly use it to teach my son to ride (unless if find a cheap Rebel laying around somewhere). I've found a '92 883 with about 9k miles on it for $2300.

Anyone have any thoughts or guidance on that specific year or model as something to mess with?

Been awhile since I had a sporty, but have wanted to get another one for quite some time to play with....and nows the time.

Appreciate ya.
Steve

 

Hey Steve,

What part of the country do you live in?

If I were you I would definitely find a sporty that was still carb'd. Reason being everything is fuel injected these days and if you don't teach hit how to work on a carb'd bike or what one even is he may never learn. I think that would be a great project for you two.

Beyond that how deep are you looking to get into the project? Keep us posted man!
