Harley Davidson XR1200 Accessories by Storz

Steve Storz sent some photos the other day of the parts and pieces he’s offering for the new Harley Davidson XR1200. Steve has been building the Storz XR1200 for many years, taking the basic Sportster and turning it into a street tracker that mimicked the look of the old XR750. Harley acquired the XR1200 name from Storz for their new offering but, that didn’t stop Steve from bringing you those same parts for the basic Sportster that he always has, but he now has a growing line of accessories and replacement parts for the new XR1200, too.

You can get a 2 into 2 high pipe dirt track style exhaust system by BUB. It’s available in chrome or black ceramic finish with wrap-around heat shields covering the head pipes. Other items include a Storz billet aluminum Rearset Footpeg Kit with a more compact shift linkage system, Storz/Ceriani Adjustable Steering Damper Kit, YSS Racing Shocks which are adjustable for damping and length, Solo Seat Tail Section, Saddlemen Seat pad, Brake Tech Full Floating Front Disc Kit, and more.

The street tracker conversions of the basic Sportster are really good looking and it was only a matter of time before Steve started working his magic on the new XR1200, too. Harley Davidson got the ball rolling by building the new XR1200, Steve is taking it a lot further with his additions. They are high quality, which means they’re not cheap, but the bike will look and perform a lot more like you would expect.

If you’re thinking about a new XR1200 or if you have a standard Sportster and want to give it a makeover, check out the Storz accessories.

    Nice improvments to an adult Sporty Sportster, Storz parts are pricey but of the highest quality. This bike generates about 95 HP with real world handling and seating position, Already a hit in Europe off to a slow start in the U.S.,

    Good looking but…95hp?

    Really? What’s a stock 1200 60hp? Carbs, cams and an exhaust gets 60% more hp?

    It really looks the business now (not that it didn’t before). Those pipes and that solo seat look like they could have come from the factory. And that brake setup is sweet. I don’t want to know how much it costs!

    Once again Mr.Storz one-ups the Motor Company in regards to styling the street XR. That tail section and pipes should be a factory option. I’d keep the belt though.

    UglyDuc, Yes 95 HP, They kept it low so as to keep good Torque down low for real world riding. The Buels have been over 100HP for some time now, But they are a bit peaky in the power delivery. High HP is not hard to do, A broad power band makes a bike a joy to ride.

    Just be sure to keep all your stock pieces for when it comes time to SMOG it!

    I still think everyone buying one of these would be better off getting an old Honda Sabre. More HP, pretty much the same look. Being able to pick one up for less than 2000….I don’t see why anyone is paying for this one

    The new seat unit really tidies up the bike, I would also love to see a fuel tank with a reasonable capacity come out from somwhere.

    The reason, as I have come to understand that this bike does not make as much hp as the Buell bikes is that the air box would have spoiled the look of the bike (and cut some market share from a HD subsidiary). 95 hp with plenty of torque seems to be perfect for the urban sport segment, in the real world a broad power delivery is far more effective I believe. Remember that not so long ago Euro bike makers were not making anything above 100 hp and no one seemed to worry too much!

    Den has the right idea, more power is always great, but real world-useable power is even better. Harley’s problem is that they’ve become slaves to fashion, and have been ever since the japanese bikes overpowered them. Its too bad that this bike won’t sell real well here. I really like the bike , but my next bike will be a Beemer, sorry H-D…

    chain drive? woo hoo!!!!! belts are for pants.
    why is it always the aftermarket that gets it right? can’t they bring these guys in as consultants beforehand? do it right, sell more.

  11. todd says

    March 17, 2009 at 2:32 pm

    It seems some people have forgotten you can’t easily change your rear drive ratio with belt drives. Chains are an easy, readily available swap. Besides, what good would all that extra horsepower and extended rev range do if you couldn’t lower the gearing at the same time?

    looks great, I love Storz’s bikes. Beautiful pipes, and the chain drive and spoke wheels are very nice.

    Hank, Maybe its because Im an older guy, But Id much rather drive my New Chrysler 300 than a 10 year old Toyota. Life is not always about how cheaply you can get by, If it was we all would own 350 Scramblers.

  14. Shane says

    Tin Man, I have never heard anyone call a Buell “peaky” and to be honest I’d love a 350 scrambler, Oh and tell todd changing the back sprocket on a Buell is a no brainer. Man you guys are so insulated.

    This looks absolutely brilliant. I agree with zipidachimp this is what the bike should have looked like in the first place. The stock pipes look out of place and the tail is too chunky.

    The picture on the web site where the Harley Davidson XR1200 has a centerstand. Is the centerstand available anywhere?

    Thanks,

    Jeff
