User:Xlh883dragster

XLh883dragster is a username I created that combined the factory code and model of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. XLH is the designation for the Sportster model, a "hugger" to be more specific. The hugger has a lower ride, because the rear shocks are shorter than on the the standard Sportster. The day after I turned 18, I purchased a brand new 883ci Sportster. I wasn't happy with the power and acceleration out of the box, so I decided to do something about it. I was working at a H-D dealership at the time, and worked in the service department as a detailer. I knew the techs and they helped me to beef up the motor, boring the cylinders to 1200cc and adding performance cams, heads, and exhaust pipe. Afterward it really screamed, and I brought it to a quarter mile race track to drag race it, hence the "dragster" part of the user name.
