It’s the Sportster 883’s turn to sink into a gloomy and eerie backdrop, populated by ink souls, where the black sun burns the skin of Bikers steeped in dreams and stories. In this dark country, there is a family that intends to shine with the brilliance of its steel covered with obscure: the DARK CUSTOM range from Harley. A few models from Milwaukee created the clan; they are called Night Rod, Cross Bones, Night Train, Nighster, Street Bob and Fat Bob. The 883 joined, taking the name Iron.

How do you turn the most accessible model in the Harley lineup into the bad boy with a character steeped in steel? Simple. All you have to do is cover it entirely with black paint, add protective gussets, add a single-seater saddle and Black Drag style handlebars, and clearly show the 2 short superimposed exhausts. In short, not really a novelty; rather an additional color (Black Denim) to be able to expand the Dark Custom range. For the wiser, the 883 Iron is also available in gray (Brilliant Silver).

There are no technical changes to report on the Sportster Iron. The 45 ° twin outputs 53 hp, conveyed by a belt to the 16-inch rear wheel. The beautiful and menacing 19-piece front rim accommodates a single brake disc. The Iron doesn’t care about the superfluous, looking for the stripped down, deep, wicked… side. more at ease in the courtyard of miracles than at diners at Balthazar Plinhozass’s.
