Harley-Davidson Sportster description

Very nice looking 1979 Harley-Davidson Sportster bike built from various parts and years as a street tracker to resemble a dirt track racer. 

This was a project bike built in Florida for a series of do-it-yourself articles in American Iron Garage all-tech magazine a couple of years ago. 

The bike was running fine when parked in storage more than a year ago, but has not been strarted in a while. The brand new tires obviously need to be aired up, the oil should be changed and the battery might need to be replaced. 

Note the high performance Progressive Suspension rear suspension. 

The front brake fluid needs to be topped off and bled before riding it. Dual drilled disc brakes up front single disc in the rear.

The bike is in storage at the American Iron Magazine offices in Stamford, CT. 

The bike has a clean Florida title.

I would not consider it a cafe racer style, more like a street tracker with the XR750 style solo saddle.

You can't buy the parts and built it yourself for less!

ACCEL Stealth Supercoils Now Available For Harley-Davidson Sportsters

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

ACCEL today announced the company’s popular motorcycle Stealth SuperCoils will now be available to owners of 2007-2014 Harley-Davidson Sportsters.  First introduced in late-2013 for Harley-Davidson Twin-Cam engines, ACCEL’s Stealth SuperCoils provide quicker engine starting and improved throttle response, while hiding all ignition wiring in the head of the self-contained coil pack; eliminating the need for spark plug wires and creating a clean, custom look. In addition to the flat black and natural aluminum finishes, the Sportster Stealth SuperCoils are offered in flat black with polished aluminum edges. Each SuperCoil mounts directly to the spark plug and features a cross-functional cast aluminum cover that also acts as a heat sink, pulling heat away from the cylinder heads.

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

If you’re the type who likes to stay ultra-organized, even (especially?) while riding your Harley-Davidson bagger, you might want to look at these Warlord saddlebag trays from First Shot Cycle Parts. While the concept of saddlebag trays is nothing new, the Warlord tray is well thought out. Dividers keep all of your small items where you can find them and not buried in the saddlebag. Each tray is lined, comes with removable dividers and all mounting brackets.
