The most laid-back baby Harley
Much bigger fuel tank capacity than other 883 models
Big bike looks with a small motor
Not tested
The 883 Custom is exactly what it says on the tin - a stretched out, feet forward cruiser version of the more town-orientated Sportster. The forward controls and pullback bars compliment each other to give the rider a more laid-back riding position. The much larger 17-litre fuel tank and two-up seat allows for better touring capabilities.
