Tom is PhilLittleRacing.com's only EU distributor and will handle all European sales and service questions.

Over many decades Tom has become a master motorcycle builder. In fact he has a very successful business building custom bikes and doing pristine vintage restorations for European customers. He is very well known in EU and UK bike circles. I could not have found a better representative. He has a great reputation and customers have learned to trust him because he is a straight shooter.

Art said he'd been a fan of the XR1000 since it was introduced in 1983. After an intense study of its XR race heritage and technology, Art was disappointed in the XR1000 stock styling.

"Harley dropped the ball." He was referring to the established XR race bike styling which with slight tweaks could have cloaked the 1000. (I'm guessing Harley had the same idea but didn't want to invest in the tooling for a short run steel XR based tank).

This is how my SXR turned out. Superb bike to ride! 1200cc, ported heads, forged pistons, bigger valves, adjusted in a dyno, 89 rear wheel horse power!

All your stuff was good, but... the [stock] battery side cover flew off from my bike but I found it later, really needs a fastener in the front. And the dodgy nut on the seat unit... I tossed it and replaced it whit a real nut and bolt.

Charlie was nearly completed with his bike when he spotted my fork guards. He needed them in black to answer the black shocks in the rear.

Everything else on the bike is either stock or sourced elsewhere.

Don had a pre-Evo Sportster and had to do some jiggering to make my Evo-dedicated tank and tail fit but he did it and built this amazing Evel bike. The two most stellar bits of this build are the custom made pipes and fantastic graphics job.

Ed started this project in Germany (note license plate) when he was there in our military (Hoo-Ahh thanks Ed). He ordered my tank, tail, graphics, side cover and graphics.

Then he did something off the charts-he added perhaps Buell’s all time best looking wheels (and forks and trees as well) and, I assume, had them coated in gold. The blackout engine really allows the orange body parts to pop out. Ed is now back state side with his baby after wowing the Germans.

Keith is from Lake Forest, CA and sometime in 2010 he called me while I was wandering through a bank. I knelt down and scratched out his order-you know kinda like Abe doing his Gettysburg address thing. Sometime later Keith sent me these photos of his completed project.

He created an understated look sans graphics and used a singular H-D emblem on the tank. The rest of the bike is very clean and uses much black to highlight the remaining bright parts. I believe I see rear sets from Shane at chainsikle.com on Keith’s bike.

When I got these photos of Terry’s 2002 883 SXR I was struck instantly with its polished, clean look. He is more fastidious than I am. Terry chose to keep the spoked wheels, the 16” rear wheel and the two-into-one pipe he already had on the bike.

He purchased from me: tank, tail, graphics, fork brace, fork guards and a black left side cover for the battery. This kept his build to under $1600 which is a cheap price for a totally transformed Sportster.

Kimberly Galloup from White Cloud, Michigan is a lucky lady. Husband Dennis built her this Sportster with an ‘old school’ bent. The tank treatment and tail suggest a 70s theme.

The bike is a 1990 4 speed chain drive with 30,000 miles and it’s still running strong. Dennis used my one piece fiberglass battery/electrics cover which hides a battery that normally hangs ‘out there’ looking ugly on the left side. Dennis said, “It works great on this bike”.

John says...

Here's my version of your street tracker just finished. I kept the standard footpegs for rider comfort, but will play with the rear-sets in the spring. (Update: I have since put the rearsets from Chainsickle on and they really work great. Frankly, it's more comfortable to ride, because it places the knees more rearward so your right knee is tucked in behind the air cleaner.)

The reaction to my SXR is great! People point and wave. When I stop in front of a place of adult hydration, they come and look at my rig before they look at a $30,000 bagger next to it.

Steve worked hard to create an all black street tracker. He was able to conquer all but fork tubes, rotor and chain which are forgivable. Thought you might enjoy looking at two photos of his project for ideas on your own build.

Steve did say, "It was a pleasure working with you on my SXR Street Tracker project. All the parts fit perfect with no problems at all. I am looking forward to building another SXR in the future."

Chris Hinkle from Memphis, TN had a dream. A dream of 37 years, since he was six years old. He wanted an Evel bike. Chris knew he could never afford an XR750 and make it street legal (no kick starter, wiring for lighting etc). The dream came into fruition when he discovered my ad in Walneck's for my SXR Sportster Street tracker kit. He made up his mind..."I'm going to build that."

Chris called me zillions of times with questions because he never owned a Harley and never done a bike build. Chris always stunned me with his southern way-he constantly referred to me as "Mr. Little" and I couldn't break him of the habit.
