Yerah, but you would have to start by removing one of the cylinders -- and that would likely unbalance the engine, not to mention leaving a huge hole in the crankcase.

I wouldn't have one of those Sportsters with a blocked off hole in the cases if you GAVE it to me... -WD We had one come in to the shop as a possible trade in, on a 1970s bike...we turned him down.

Sadly, the travellin' Harley Roadshow did not have the 883L available for a testride ... sat on a few others ... couldn't comfortably reach the forward controls of the 883 Custom, found the 1200 Roadster too top heavy to comfortably pull upright and the Dyna Lowrider waaay too heavy. Oh well ... c'est la vie ... I'm not even considering replacing my Savage anyways ... just wanted to see how the Sportster Low rode is all ...
A couple of my friends tried a few Bikes though ... pal Brian (who owns an '04 800 Intruder) didn't like the Sportster Custom (controls too far forward), but loved the 1200 Roadster. Friend Nadine (who owns a mint '82 CM450) hated the Roadster, but kinda liked the Dyna Lowrider ... though she complained that they both shook too much and said the Roadster seemed clunky ...
The H.D. people (who had travelled with a tractor-trailer full of Bikes from Toronto) were all friendly and very accomodating ... and all seemed to love being here in Newfoundland!
