Customizing a Harley-Davidson® Sportster®

Upgrading the Motorcycle’s Comfort
Motorcycles off the showroom floor can come with great perks but they might not fit your riding style perfectly. If you don’t fall in the category of average rider, chances are that some feature will feel a little off to you. This is where you can get Sportster® upgrades for greater comfort!
Shorter riders can struggle to reach all parts comfortably for a truly safe ride. If the controls feel out-of-reach or your feet don’t touch the ground enough to provide proper balance, your rides can leave you feeling stressed and sore from having to overexert to retain control of your bike.
You can alleviate this discomfort with the Super Reach Seat. Bring your legs closer together so it’s easier for your feet to touch the ground. Move closer to your controls so you can enjoy a comfortable position. These upgrades make your ride more comfortable.
That’s not to say taller riders don’t face their own challenges with a fresh bike. They can struggle to get a comfortable riding angle as their legs and arms can be too long to be comfortably bent for an hour or so. They can incur strain on their knees, back, shoulders, and neck from hunching over.
For taller riders, there are Harley-Davidson® Sportster® customizations like the Tallboy™ Seat, which helps move back the seat so you can enjoy better arm and leg room. The Batwing Tallboy™ Handlebars provide better shoulder, elbow, and wrist placement. Go easy on your body with a well-fitting motorcycle.
Upgrading the Motorcycle’s Performance
All Harley-Davidson® Sportster® motorcycles have untapped potential! Plenty of upgrades can improve your motorcycle’s power and efficiency. The Screamin’ Eagle® Heavy Breather Performance Air Cleaner Kit is a helpful addition if you want something to improve your motorcycle’s air flow and performance.
The Premium Ride Single Cartridge Fork Kit helps your tires stay in contact with the road more, increasing traction and providing a smoother ride. A big bore cylinder upgrade kit boosts torque and horsepower. Unleash your beast’s full potential with these upgrades.
Upgrading the Motorcycle’s Aesthetics
One of the biggest reasons why people choose to customize their Harley-Davidson® bikes is because they get to showcase their personality without saying a word. Change the paint job or swap out the handlebars with options like the Sportster® Clubman Handlebars or ape hanger handlebars. Upgrade the wheels to something more chrome-plated and eye-catching or embrace the chopper look with spoke wheels.
Another part you can upgrade is the gas tank! If you like longer rides, you might prefer one that is larger and can hold more fuel. It can also make your bike more noticeable on the road. A smaller tank gives you better speed and a more streamlined appearance. Add in decals to really personalize it.
As you can see, with this wide range of customization options, you can improve your riding experience and the overall aesthetic of your beast!
