The Sportster is the longest running model in
the Harley Davidson’s history. it’s relatively easy to transform the Sportster
into a more agile machine, simply by stripping away superficial parts, as well
as by improving the performance and its dynamics.
And that is exactly what this motorcycle
showcases; the stock seat and handlebars were swapped in favour of a Burly Café
Tail and Burly Clubman Bars respectively, while the forks were rebuilt with
Burly lowered fork springs, preload adjusters and a Roland Sands Design front
fork brace. A pair of 15” Burly Stiletto shock absorbers at the rear, a pair of
rear sets from Chainsikle (which help to move the rider’s foot/leg position
back), 18″ RideWright rear wheel, and Metzeler rubber.
On the performance front, a Vance & Hines air
cleaner and a set of Vance & Hines 2-into-1 pipes are accompanied by a re-jetted
carburettor. There you go, a neat Harley-Davidson Sportster Café Race that
doesn’t break the bank or require a ton of tools.
Any corrections or more information on these motorcycles will be kindly appreciated.
