Sportster Customization: Boosting Comfort

Motorcycles are built to fit riders of average height. But what happens if you are taller or shorter than that? You have to shop the same selection of Sportster motorcycles for sale. But you are stuck riding a motorcycle with a subpar fit, which results in suffering more often from sore muscles and tired joints.

Short riders forever strain to grasp their handlebars and controls. Their feet hover slightly above the ground. The whole ride is spent stretching every limb to reach everything. Fix this situation with the Super Reach Seat. This Sportster customization brings the rider’s legs closer together and the rider’s body closer to the controls. This results in a much more comfortable riding position.

Tall riders are forced to contort their body at awkward angles. Their arms and legs reach past a comfortable positioning on their Harley Sportster. This can cause strain on their knees, back, shoulders, and neck from all this hunching over. The Tallboy® Seat pushes the seat back, which provides a larger amount of arm and leg room. The Batwing Tallboy Handlebars adjusts the rider’s arm position to lead to more comfortable shoulder, elbow, and wrist placement. Both these can make a world of difference on the ride comfort.

Sportster Customization: Upgrading Performance

A Harley Sportster is a beast of a machine with plenty of potential, which is why so many people shop Sportster motorcycles for sale. Performance upgrades allow you to tailor your ride in the direction you want it to go. Improve air flow and performance with the Screamin’ Eagle® Heavy Breather Performance Air Cleaner Kit. Increase torque and horsepower with a big bore cylinder upgrade kit. Get a smoother ride with the Premium Ride Single Cartridge Fork Kit, which helps your tire stay in contact with the road’s surface more. Invest in the motorcycle’s performance and you’ll reap the benefits on the road.

Sportster Customization: Improving the Aesthetics

Make a statement with the appearance of your Harley Sportster by customizing its appearance. It’s a great way to showcase your personality and make your motorcycle truly “your” motorcycle. After all, who wants to ride a motorcycle that looks just like everyone else’s?

A great place to start is with the paint job. A simple swapping of the motorcycle’s colors instantly make it more unique. Change up the handlebars to ape hanger handlebars or the Sportster Clubman Handlebars. Elevate your wheel game with a chrome-plated Solid Fat Boy® Rear Wheel or opt for the chopper look with Fat X 5-Spoke wheels.
