Our hardtail kit is the smart choice for those looking to heavily modify an XL. By using our kit, you can retain your existing title and registration to prevent insurance and licensing headaches that come with complete replacement frames. Best of all, keeping that paperwork as-is won't devalue your motorcycle like special construction or self-assembled titles can.
We can help you build your Sportster right—we're with you through the whole job and have other complementary items that will help you avoid time-consuming fab work, including TC Bros. battery boxes, oil tanks, seats, lighting, and fenders.
