Fork brace
Newly designed brace is coming. It strengthens the front end and acts as a mount for front fender and fork guards. It’s aircraft alloy aluminum. Mounts without removing the wheel.
Sportster Side Battery Cover
This is my Gen II battery side cover with rounded contours to compliment the shape of the oil tank on the right side. This is a fiberglass piece made in black gelcoat. The surface from the mold is microscopically rough so I sand it with 2000 wet/dry and polish with 3M’s Finessette II so it looks like a factory part.
19" Rear Wheel Replacement Kits
I found a new supplier for 19” conversion kits. Street trackers and Hooligan racers need a 19" rear wheel so dirt track tires can be used (dirt track tires are only made in 19”). The cheapest source of a 19" wheel for the rear is buying another front. Yes, gigantic tires can be mounted on narrow 2.15” wheels.
Dirt Track Styled Bars
Dirt track styled bars are wider for leverage and position the arms more comfortably. Stock bars is really not such a good idea for racing. This 1” bar has a 4" rise, a 10" pullback and 34" width. They are dimpled to allow cables to pass under switch components. Price is reasonable too.
SuperTrapp Exhaust
SuperTrapp is out of business and this Sportster is no longer available. Stainless steel exhausts look right on a street tracker. Performance gains and weight savings.
Hooligan 2-into-1 Exhaust
Hooligan 2-into-1 pipe system fits 1985-2013 Sportsters (please specify when you order. This is a race styled exhaust for the track and rural street, too BUT may I suggest you not use them in cities for the good of motorcycling. This pipe will be fine for short Hooligan tracks of 1/8 to ¼ mile. They will perform even better on long ½ mile and mile tracks. Lightweight, it tucks in low alongside the frame to avoid damage in right hand corners or a high side. The 2 ¼” x 12” megaphone has a deep throaty sound and excessive noise is trapped by a perforated core surrounded by permanent steel wool packing--no repacking needed. It's brushed stainless steel. You don’t have to paint it and it is non-rusting.
SXR 15” Shocks
These are high quality American shocks that were designed specifically for AMA Sportster dirt track racing some years back. They are more robust than street shocks. Construction is double wall. The big beefy shaft is precision ground and hard chromed. Shocks use a fluid cell to produce fade free damping. Pre-load adjustments have five positions for your weight. And most importantly they are 15” tall.
Hooligan Mud Guard
The stock rear fender protects the rear cylinder from wheel thrown debris, moisture, tar, etc. The OEM circuit breakers are also mounted to the stock fender. In most cases the rear fender get deep sixed. My mud guard fills both roles-debris protection and circuit breaker mounting.
Hidden Headlight Kit with 10x12 AMA Number Plate
Perfect for Street Trackers and Hooligan Sportsters This kit will add the flat track look to your street tracker. A 10" x 12" AMA plate hides mounting and your wiring that used to be behind your stock headlight.

The horrors of ethanol fuel
Don’t use it, ever. Always use premium non-ethanol. Ethanol is junk and causes all kinds of carb, engine, and fiberglass tank problems. Ethanol eats the resin from inside of fiberglass tanks. It dilutes resin into a solution which mixes with your tank’s gas. When the bike sits for any time longer than a month or two, the resin solidifies in your carb and valve components. Carbs are easy to clean but if it gets into the valve seals etc., engine disassembly is needed. Not cheap!
Until 2021 we kept changing coatings to get the best anti-ethanol sealer for our fiberglass tanks. Prior to that date, we used at least 5 different coatings. None of them worked long term despite claims from the chemical makers. The one exception was/is Caswell epoxy coatings. I dropped it because the application process was so lengthy. I now use an anti-ethanol resin with no warranty claims at all.
I get maybe three tanks a year for leaking and surface problems caused by pre-Caswell sealants. Even though they are long past the warranty period, I fix leaks for free but charge for shipping.
How to get ethanol free gas
Find a local source
If your town offers ethanol free premium fuel, use it even if you have one of my new tanks. Yes, it’s more expensive but it is better for your engine and tank.
If your local stations don’t offer ethanol-free gas by law, you have two options:
- Go to a local airport with a couple of 5 gallon cans and buy their aviation fuel. Use straight or in a pinch mix 50/50 with the best grade of ethanol gas.
- Make your own ethanol-free gas.
Remove ethanol from gas at home
Here’s simple fix that's cheaper, long term, than the cost of high octane premium-non-ethanol gas (where it’s available). The ratio is one gallon gas to one cup of water. See my DIY how-to.
