2001 HARLEY DAVIDSON XL883C SPORTSTER 883 CUSTOM

Store Location: Pembroke NH

Perfect for DIY enthusiasts, project builders, or anyone looking for a great deal on a fixer-upper!

This 2001 Harley-Davidson XL883C Sportster Custom is being sold as a Mechanic Special and has not gone through our normal process; as such, we do not know the full extent of what it may or may not need. It starts, runs, and shifts. It will need operational front signals with sufficient visibility, a plate bracket & light, operational indicator lights, a horn, a clutch switch, a new brake lever, and the throttle return will need to be addressed. Additionally, this Sportster will need an exhaust with baffles and passenger footrests and handholds. Cosmetically, this bike is in below-average condition for its year and mileage, including paint blemishes, scratches, and dents.

This vehicle is being sold as-is without a warranty, service, or repairs. It has been through our safety inspection, received basic cleaning, and we provide the same detailed condition reports as our Premium and Select bikes so you can make an informed decision. Learn more about our Wholesale Program here.

Wholesale As-Is Program Logo

We believe you should know exactly what you're getting when you buy from us. Use the tabs below to explore what's included with every Wholesale as-is vehicle.

OUR COMPREHENSIVE SAFETY INSPECTION

Every vehicle that comes through our shop undergoes a thorough multi-point safety inspection. We evaluate critical systems and components, from lighting and brakes to suspension and tire condition. But we don't just inspect: we document everything we find and publish the results for you to see. This includes pass/fail results for each item, real tire tread depth measurements, brake pad conditions, test ride notes, and more. Our inspection process is designed to give you transparency about what you're buying, so you can purchase with confidence.

Important: Wholesale As-Is vehicles are sold in their current condition without service or repairs. Our inspection covers what's visible and testable during the safety inspection process. Additional issues that could be discovered during deeper service work may not be apparent in this inspection. We document everything we can identify, giving you full transparency about the vehicle's current condition so you can make an informed decision.

OUR INSPECTION COVERS:
  • Lighting Systems
  • Dash, Gauges & Indicator Lights
  • Horn, Switches & Safety Systems
  • Glass, Mirrors & Visibility
  • Handlebars, Grips & Controls
  • Cables & Throttle Operation
  • Wheels, Tires & Tread Depth
  • Front & Rear Brake Systems
  • Steering, Alignment & Geometry
  • Front & Rear Suspension
  • Exhaust System
  • Charging System Performance
  • Complete Test Ride Evaluation

  • Wash Bike

WARRANTY INFORMATION

NO WARRANTY INCLUDED

This vehicle is being sold as-is with no warranty. Just like purchasing a vehicle private sale from an individual, as-is purchases carry more risk than a premium bike with a warranty. It is important to see the vehicle in person so that you can make an informed decision. If you cannot come see the bike in person, we encourage a FaceTime or video call so we can “show” you the bike prior to purchase. Feel free to contact us at 603-410-4120.

NATIONWIDE SHIPPING

We offer door-to-door delivery service at competitive rates anywhere in the continental United States, securing insurance coverage for your vehicle during transit. Please note that door-to-door delivery is dependent on tractor-trailer access. If your location cannot accommodate a large transport vehicle, an alternate meeting location may be required. Buyers are responsible for shipping surcharges to certain remote locations and on oversized vehicles such as trikes, sidecars, and UTVs. Contact us for details.

Select a state above to calculate shipping cost.

Since the beginning we’ve tried to keep things simple and rooted in common sense. We do this by pricing our bikes right at our bottom line, so there are no negotiations to worry about. If a bike doesn’t sell for a certain number of days, we will mark it down accordingly, lower the price for everyone immediately on the website, and update the price tag in the showroom. It’s important to us that everyone gets the same price, regardless of their negotiation skills.

Note: If you save a bike in your “My Garage”, you can choose to be notified via email if it gets repriced.

Used Vehicles:
We do not charge any additional fees with the purchase of our used vehicles. The price you see is the price you pay.

New Vehicles:
Manufacturer freight and tariff fees may apply. We do not charge any “Admin” or “Doc” fees.

Tax, Title, and Registration:
Local tax, title, and registration costs vary by state and are not included in our pricing. NH residents will pay the $37 title application fee on vehicles with a model year of 2000 and later. Maine residents with finance deals will pay the $33 title application fee.

International Sales:
Out of country sales may incur additional fees only to cover custom's documentation or shipping of documents.

Yes. We are able to ship bikes nationwide to any of the lower 48 states. It’s delivered right to your driveway, no loading dock required. Shipping rates can be found in the shipping section of our listings.

All pre-owned vehicles have their photos and video taken right here in our store. Most new vehicles feature stock images.

Describing the cosmetic condition of a Powersports vehicle can be tricky as it is subjective. What looks beautiful to one person might look quite a bit different to another. We have three categories we put bikes in, and for each type what we describe varies.

  • Type 1: New / late model / and or high dollar vehicles - We point out everything that we can see as flaws not caused by normal riding/wear.
  • Type 2: For everything in between T1 and T3. We point out items that are, in our opinion, above normal wear and tear. We won’t point out boot scuffs on bags, small paint chips, and things you would expect to see on any used vehicle.
  • Type 3: Older, high mileage, or cosmetically rough vehicles - We point out only large areas of damage. On these vehicles we highly recommend looking closely at all the pictures and/or seeing the bike in person to inspect.
If you cannot physically come to the shop and inspect it in person, we are happy to do a live video chat to review the bike with you.

No. The reserve prices in our auctions are the very same as what you see here on our website.

Yes we do. We would be happy to consider your vehicle for trade or outright purchase. You can fill out the "Sell Your Vehicle" form here.

We work with a number of local and national lenders and are able to offer financing to most of our US customer's on most bikes. Click on the “Apply For Financing” button in the listing to learn more and submit an application.

All of the bikes are located at our shop in Pembroke, NH or at our new location in Coxsackie, NY. They can be viewed in person during regular business hours.

Unless otherwise notated in the Title section of our listing all bikes have clean titles with no salvage history.

California law requires that unless the emissions sticker on the bike specifies that it is California compliant, any bike must have at least 7500 miles on the odometer. If one of our bikes is not California compliant we will say so in the title section of the listing.

We accept certified bank checks, money orders, bank-to-bank wire transfers, and of course cash in person. Paypal may be used for the deposit, but NOT for the full amount. All credit card transactions will incur a 3.99% processing charge.

Unfortunately, no. Once we list a bike, we can’t swap parts from one bike to another. We do, however, offer an expansive selection of used accessories, which you can browse here.
