Check all the connections...for leaks. Did you use new gaskets on the head pipes?? Anywhere there is a connection with the exhaust (a joint) if there is a leak it will do that.

I have heard a start up backfire from every harley that I've ever been around. My Dad and brother both have new HD's, and they will both backfire at start from time to time.

Mine will do it unless I open the throttle slightly while cranking. Helps clear out any fuel that got sucked in when the engine shut off.

Some will do it, but my 883 has never done it, to my knowledge. So it isn't "normal".
