Default Anyone planning on doing the Ryca Sportster conversion this summer?

Ryca has unvieled their new conversion kit for the Harley Sportster bikes. It will be coming out this summer and looks amazing in my opinion.

I think I will be doing this to an 03 Sportster. It is compatible for a '86-'03.

Here's how it looks:

You could build one now, buy all the components thru the vendors who make the parts.

Sounds like a lot of work. Just kidding.

I thought some of the parts were being made by Ryca? They are using a name brand shock but I thought the rest were new stuff.

I was almost set I was getting a sport bike. Until I found out the Harley Sportsters exist. Beautiful, beautiful bikes. I'm in love.

Interesting. Fits 86-03 models.

Looks pretty clean to me, tank/seat junction needs a little help.

Pipes look wild. Be better if they clean up the welds on them though. Don't think I'd want them aimed straight back at the tire though.

I hope DP is making money on that pipe, because it's definitely their design.

Burly Shocks
Burly Seat/Tail section
Clip-ons could be bought anywhere
DP pipe, maybe you can only get the pipe from Ryca, don't know but I don't care for the pipe anyway, needs an upsweep style set of short pipes for me.

clipons and rearsets are both from chainsikle.

its literally just a bunch of parts bought from other companies and sold as a kit..
