Slammer Shocks

Made famous by the Burly Slammer Kits, the stubby Burly shocks are now available individually. Measuring in at only 10.5 inches eye-to-eye, they live up to their name and are available in black or chrome for most Sporties and Dynas. 
Burly Slammer Shocks may be short, but they are well thought out and are travel limited to prevent tire/fender contact. Five-position preload adjusters allow for fine tuning to rider weight for optimum feel. Fitment is available for 1988 and newer Sportsters as well as 1991 and newer Dynas at an MSRP of only $199.95.

Santa Barbara Motorsports

What do you do if you are running a comparatively small dealership in a comparatively small town surrounded by larger cities with much bigger dealerships? How do you effectively compete with those mega dealerships? By offering a clubhouse atmosphere, reasonable deals and top-of-the-line customer service.

Just take Santa Barbara Motorsports as a perfect example. The town of Santa Barbara, California, is medium-sized, an hour and a half north of Los Angeles and right on the ocean. The weather is balmy most of the year, and there are good beaches. Wilderness starts east of the town, with many opportunities for both on and off-road riding.
