2002 Sportster
Other than the introduction of a new Sportster model, the 2002 line up remained basically unchanged.
In 2002 Harley-Davidson introduced the new XL 883R which is modeled after the 1970 XR-750. Unlike all other 2002 Sportster models, it came with a 2 in 1 exhaust. It was also the only 2002 883 model with dual front disc brakes.
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
Example: 1HD1CJM162K201624 appears on steering head. Abbreviated VIN appears on engine crankcase - CJM2201624
