Sportster scrambler

Greg Hageman's known as the guy that convinced us that Yamaha Viragos can look good. But we've never seen a Harley-Davidson custom from the American builder. Which is strange; the Sportster is arguably a better (and more popular) platform than the Virago. And Greg sure knows his way around them—he's a qualified, master-level Harley technician. “I started in '99,” he tells us, “and took every single tech class the factory offered until 2011. So I was fully aware of the capabilities of what I…

Quite a few bikes have quirks that can trap the unwary builder. The strange frame curvature on the Honda CX500 is one of them, and the height of the Harley Sportster motor is another. The venerable V-twin is an unusually tall engine, which makes it difficult to get a straight line from the base of the tank to the back of the seat.

Think of a scrambler motorcycle, and most folks will picture a modern Triumph or a vintage BSA. Not a Harley. But David Zemla, who runs Burly Brand, decided to take a different tack. Could a Sportster be reconfigured for bombing down fire roads? After a lot of trial and error, not to mention a few wrong turns and dead ends in the build process, the answer is a definite ‘yes.’ Zemla’s 2006-model Harley XL883 had previously enjoyed a sedate life, transporting a retired teacher to and from the…
