Harley davidson Iron 883 Cafe' Racer

Our friends at Shaw Speed & Custom in the UK are continuously pushing what can be done with a standard HD as a starting point. This is one of our favorite creations of a café sportster to date. Simple, clean and well done. This is what Steve Willis at Shaw has to say about it. "Using RSD components such as the RSD Clip-Ons and the new Cafe seat the new Harley-Davidson XL883N Iron was run through the workshop for a makeover, inspired by the RSD component changes giving the bike a complete new look the bike also had fabrication on the fuel tank Shaw Speed & Custom style giving the cut out knee areas, and the frame was worked on with the fender rails removed and a strengthening loop being added underneath the seat so the bike has the look without compromise, the foot pegs were changed for rear sets for the right feel and not just look.Old style Avon Speed masters were fitted front and rear, signature stop tail and indicator relocation to the rear underside of the Swingarm, HD Nostalgic grips, Rough Craft Air breather, Vance and Hines Competition exhaust in stainless and finished in a classic blue with Gold HD logos compliment the overall look, again the Sportster is shown for its versatility." -Steve Willis
