Really happy with the product. Took a while to get my order but they were out of the spark plug cables I ordered. I had to email and inquire what the deal was. They were super helpful once I initiated communication. Would have been cool to get some swag or something since they took so long. But the relocator is great. I really love it. And they responded promptly once I reached out to them. Their customer service is truly fantastic.

Product Information
The Custom Rigid Rear Struts provide a bolt-on solution for achieving a hardtail-style rear profile on Harley-Davidson Sportster models without modifying the factory frame.
CNC cut from cold rolled steel and fully TIG welded, the struts replace the rear suspension components with a solid structure that establishes a fixed rear geometry.
Finished in a matte black powder coat, the struts integrate cleanly with factory components while providing corrosion resistance and long-term durability.
These struts are intended for visual and structural rigidity and are best suited for show bikes or limited-distance riding due to the elimination of rear suspension travel.

FAQs
Are frame modifications required?
No. The rigid struts install directly into the factory rear shock mounts.
Does this eliminate ride comfort?

Are rigid struts suitable for daily use?
They are best suited for short-distance or show-oriented motorcycles.
Is mounting hardware included?
No. Existing factory shock hardware is reused for installation.

Innovation Meets Passion
Made in the USA
Founded in 2013 by Mike Le, Kinetic Motorcycles was built on a simple belief: motorcycle parts aren't generic hardware — they're personal. Every product begins as an original idea, designed by Mike and developed entirely in-house.
We don't rely on templates or outsourced shortcuts. Each part is shipped by hands-on fabrication experience and time spent riding, testing, and refining. Whether you're dialing in a daily rider or building something truly your own, our focus is the same — create parts that feel intentional, functional, and worthy of your motorcycle.
What Our Customers Say
I had some questions on some bars, so I DMd them on Instagram. The dude I talked to was super helpful. I purchased the shirt because of his response. I’ll rep the brand due to the customer service.
Precision-machined and bolt-on perfect. Took 30 minutes to install and the difference is night and day.
Customer support answered my DMs within an hour. Shipping was on point, packaging was premium.
