Hammer Performance Crush head work with 1.900" intake valves and 1.615" exhaust valves with 30* squish cut.

Hammer Performance 1250 cylinders with Hammer Performance Sledge Hammer Pistons with 30* reverse dome.

Hammer Performance custom push rods, S&S forged roller rockers, JIMS Powerglide II tappets on top of HAMMER Performance Crush 600 cams.

My '04 XL1200R the day I brought it home.  Bought it about 6 months ago with only 3,750 miles on it.  And yes I have replaced the broken oil tank cap since then.



Since this is my first post on this forum, allow me a little intro.  I'm an older fart and I've been riding (with a license) for 52 years.  Dad was a Harley mechanic most of his life and was an instructor at the Army's motorcycle mechanic school in Ft. Knox during WWII.  So, I'm kinda partial to Harleys, but I'm not a fanatic.  I have owned bikes from all the major manufacturers over the years and enjoyed them all.  The Roadster currently shares the garage with an '09 Electra Glide Classic, an '03 Moto Guzzi California Titanium, and a '74 Yamaha DT360.

A small project to occupy myself during last winter. A 72 replica on a 06' 883 low named "872".

[China twin 88]

An 883 came up for sale with a legal Beijing tag.... good buy with a legal tag which is worth more than the bike.....but I was wondering what is the word on the 883L .....it is running fine and is a 2012 with less than 10K kilometers on the clock.  Any mods anyone has done and were happy with, any problems with these bikes.. I noticed 1200 conversions seem to be frequent....
