Sportster Fitment

Sportster covers '57-'22 - XL883, XL1200, Iron, Forty-Eight, Roadster and Nightster. The air-cooled XL is cable throttle. The liquid-cooled RH Sportster is a different motorcycle and does not share these parts - see RH Sportster.

Years that change what fits:

• 2004 - the Sportster moved to a rubber-mounted frame, which changes a great deal of chassis hardware.
• 2007 - fuel injection replaced the carburetor across the range.

Fork Diameter Comes First

Fork tubes, lower legs, cartridges and trees are all cut to a diameter. 35mm, 39mm, 41mm, 43mm and 49mm front ends are not interchangeable, and a great deal of fitment comes down to that number rather than the model name. On shocks, length is a real decision: shorter drops the bike and costs travel and ground clearance, longer changes the geometry. Match spring rate and preload to your weight and how you load the bike.
