A Harley-Davidson Sportster 883 with a well-worn path led it to the doors of Tripleme Motors in Barcelona.
Originally a constant visitor for routine maintenance under its first owner, the Harley eventually moved on to a new rider. This time, however, a stock motorcycle wouldn’t suffice.
The new owner craved a street tracker transformation, and Tripleme Motors’ Manel Molina was eager to unleash the bike’s hidden potential.
Molina set about a meticulous overhaul, discarding a significant portion of Harley’s original parts to create a machine tailored for dirt track domination.
This once-ordinary Harley street tracker has undergone a metamorphosis, emerging as a machine with both fascinating aesthetics and thrilling performance.
The most crucial upgrade for safety lies in the entirely new rear braking system, ensuring the rider can come to a complete halt with confidence.
But the transformation goes far deeper than just stopping power. The soul of the bike, the V-twin engine, now breathes new life thanks to a high-flow S&S carburetor and a stylish air cleaner.
This potent combination optimizes fuel delivery, hinting at the potential for increased power waiting to be unleashed. Complementing the engine’s newfound vigor is a cutting-edge aftermarket ignition system, ensuring a smooth and responsive ride.
The visual transformation is equally dramatic. A custom exhaust system with heat-wrapped headers snakes its way down the bike, adding a touch of untamed aggression while simultaneously producing a fascinating soundtrack. But the exhaust isn’t just about sound; the under-seat mufflers contribute to the bike’s sleek lines.
