Harley 883XL Hugger Sportster (2003)

submitted by Harleyblueswoman

The Harley Hugger is a great bike for women....it sits lower to the ground. I am 5'4" and can sit with my feet flat on the ground. If you get the solid mag wheels instead of the spokes, it sits a hair lower. It weighs around 480# and is fast enough to keep up with the pack if you want it to!!!!! I got a windshield and am still getting used to it. Thought it would be a good idea to have....but it takes some adjusting on windy days. I got the kind that just pops on and off though...so it is easy to remove. I had a lot of stuff put on when it first came in....you don't have to pay for the labor then...just for the parts!! I got the pullback handlebars for better comfort. I had Screaming Eagle pipes added....and it sounds soooo good!!! It comes with a solo seat....but I had a different seat put on in case I take someone for a ride. You have to add your own passenger foot pegs though. I had highway pegs added for kicking back on the highway. It was a great year to buy a Harley...it is a 100 year Anniversary bike.....figured that couldn't hurt the resale value!!! Not that I will ever sell it....I love it!!!!
