Harley Davidson 883 - A Motorcycle Icon

By A R Thompson

For more than 50 years now Harley Davidson have been producing a motorcycle known as the Sportster. But it was not until 1986 that they first produced the one we now know as the Harley 883 and which for those of us who dream of owning one of these iconic motorcycles is well within their grasp as they are the least expensive of all the models that Harley Davidson now produce.

As well as the 4 types of 883 Harley Davidson Sportster motorcycles available, there are also 3 types which have a 1200 engine in them and then there is the XL50. This bike came into production this year and was designed to celebrate the 50 years of Harley Davidson producing the Sportster.

Certainly the 883 Sportster is one of the most well recognized of all the custom motorcycles that people can purchase around the world today and below we take a look at the 4 models that Harley Davidson have to offer.

1. Sportster 883 XL - Of all these types of motorcycle that Harley Davidson produce this is the cheapest of the lot and will cost anything from $6,595 up to as much as $7,990. 2. Sportster 883 XL Low - Although this bike is actually slightly more expensive than the first model we have mentioned above you will still find it is reasonable in cost at the moment. You should expect to pay between $6,995 and $8,390 for one of these. 3. Sportster 883 XL Custom - Yet another great looking motorcycle which is part of the Harley 883 family and will set you back anywhere from $7,795 up to as much as $9,555. 4. Sportster 883R XL - The most recent model to be included into the Harley Davidson 883 family and although not the most expensive you can still expect to pay $7,795 up to $9,090 for this one.

Along with Harley Davidson producing 4 different models of this particular motorcycle they have spent time making improvements to each one in order to improve the ride on them. Today all come with a larger rear axle which has made the bikes much more stable. They have also spent time on improving the mounting of the engines within the motorcycles. Today all Harley Davidson engines are mounted on to rubber that is placed on the frame and this reduces the amount of vibration the rider will feel.

Along with the changes previously mentioned there are other changes which have been made to this particular custom motorcycle. Gone is the chain drive to be replaced with a belt drive on all models and it also comes with a helical cut transmission unit. This results in reduction in the amount of gear whine that all Harley Davidson motorcycles use to make. Then in 2007 they changed their bikes engines from being carburetted to them being fuel injected.

For those who are looking for one of these iconic motorcycles which won't end up costing them a small fortune this may be the ideal bike for them. As with all Harley Davidson's the 883 models provide you with the same ride quality and prestige that the more expensive models offer. So why shouldn't they seriously consider getting themselves one of these.

Therefore why not spend sometime surfing the net and see what more you can learn about the Harley 883 one of the most iconic motorcycles the world has ever known. Soon you can start to feel just like Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda felt in Easy Rider. - 21393

The Basics Of Wheel Alignment

By Will Paul

Have you ever wondered why your vehicle seems to pull to one side? Or, do the treads on the right always wear out before those on the left? Does your gas mileage decline year after year even though your engine, fuel injectors, and sensors are in top-notch shape? The culprit may be your wheel alignment. Unlike a malfunctioning alternator or failing transmission, this problem happens gradually over thousands of miles. That makes it difficult to identify.

If left unchecked, an alignment problem can cause issues with your vehicle's steering response, fuel efficiency, and overall drivability. I'll explain the factors involved below and describe how caster, camber, and toe each play a role in aligning your wheels.

Caster Explained

Caster is a measurement that reflects the tilt of the steering axis. If the steering axis tilts forward and positions itself ahead of the tire (from a side view), the caster is considered negative. If the steering axis tilts backward, it is considered positive.

Caster does not influence the wear of your treads - but, it does influence handling. The more positive it is, the "heavier" your steering control will feel. This is especially true when your vehicle is moving slowly. If one tire's caster is more positive than the other, the misalignment will cause a pull.

Camber Explained

Camber reflects the degree to which the top of a wheel tilt inward (toward the center of your car) or outward when looking at it from the front. An outward tilt is considered positive while an inward tilt is considered negative.

Camber affects tread wear. If it is too positive, the excess wear will occur on the outside portion of the tire. If the camber is too negative, the wear will occur on the inside. A misalignment will cause a pull toward the most positive camber.

Aligning The Toe

The toe of your wheels measures the amount they turn inward (again, toward the center of your car) or outward when looking at them head on. If they turn inward, the toe is considered positive. If they turn outward, it is considered negative.

Ideally, the toe will aligned as close to neutral (that is, neither positive or negative) as possible. If the toe of your tires is not aligned properly, your treads will wear down faster than normal and you'll experience a lack of stability when steering.

Enjoying Improved Drivability

Caster, camber, and toe are the basic components that affect the alignment of your vehicle's wheels. If they are severely misaligned, they can have a significant influence on your ability to steer effectively. They can cause excess tread wear as well as wear and tear on your suspension. Have the alignment checked annually to protect your car's tires, suspension, and drivability. - 21393

Goodbye to the Old, Hello to the New: When do I need to replace my tires?

By Glen Palick

A tire is not a friend for life. Sooner or later your car tires are going to need replacing. When that happens is not such an easy question to answer, and it is dependant on a number of variables, such as how often you drive, how fast, and the road and weather conditions your tires experience.

The first inkling that tires might need changing could come from a visual inspection. They should always be checked for cuts, cracking and dry rot. If you dont have confidence in them, change them.

The tread depth will scream out if the tire needs changing. Not literally of course but there will be obvious patterns of wear. Simply put the tread depth is the gap between the tire treads, the grooves that cover the circumference of the tire. The importance of good tread depth cannot be over estimated as worn tires pose a huge risk to you and other uses of the road.

The problems will come particularly in the cold, the wet, or icy conditions of winter. Worn tires ensure that the car wont be as effective in steering, accelerating and braking. Many drivers are unaware of the their minimum tire tread depth. According to the laws of many states in the USA, tires are worn out when they have worn down to 2/32 of remaining tread depth. Well unless youre an expert how are you meant to know that? Some modern cars have a warning light that will tell you, but if your cars not equipped heres how.

An often used method is the Lincoln Penny Test. Its considered by many to be a perfect, and cheap way of checking tire wear. Insert a Lincoln penny with the top of the former presidents head into the grooves of several treads. If part of Lincolns head is covered by the tire then you have more than 2/32 left and do not need to replace it. If you can see above his head, then its a trip down to the tire store.

Another way of finding out if your tires are saying replace me is by looking at the pattern of wear on the tire treads. As you zip along the freeway, the speed of your vehicle generates heat which causes the tires to deform. Over time theyll become worn out and the tread will diminish.

One obvious way of noticing is that your car will not have as much control and grip on the road, but ideally youd like to find out long before that happens. Most manufacturers put wear and tread bars on their tire treads, usually a raised lump between the tread of the tires that indicate its life. When the tire is worn down to these, its time to change them. Or for less than $20 invest in a Tire Tread Depth Gauge, which does exactly what it says on the tin.

You may also need to replace your tires if there is an alignment problem. You should easily be able to spot that because your car will keep moving over to the left or the right, when you are trying to drive straight down a road. - 21393
