Vehicle Information
Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200 Motorcycle - Street (1988-2020)
The Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200, produced from 1988 to 2020, is an iconic motorcycle known for its Evolution (Evo) engine, a durable 45-degree V-twin with a distinctive sound. This air-cooled, four-stroke engine consistently featured a displacement of approximately 1199 cc to 1202 cc. Over its long production run, the Sportster 1200 saw several key evolutionary changes. In 1991, a five-speed transmission replaced the earlier four-speed gearbox, and belt drive became standard on all models by 1993, replacing the chain drive. A significant chassis redesign in 2004 introduced a rubber-mounted engine, greatly enhancing rider comfort by reducing vibration. Furthermore, Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) became standard in 2007, replacing the carburetor for improved performance and efficiency. Various trims like the XL1200C Custom, XL1200S Sport, and XL1200X Forty-Eight offered diverse styling and features throughout these years. Q: Will this part fit my specific Sportster 1200 model?
