Frequently asked questions

When should I look for a used OEM Sportster 883 part instead of a new part?

Look for a used OEM part when you need a factory replacement and the part note describes a condition that works for your repair. Replacement parts may come from PirateMX Sportster 883 teardowns, but oil-change supplies, air filters, chemicals, lube and oil are new only. Buy brake pads and tires new. Check fitment for your exact year, make and model before ordering.

What should I check before ordering a Sportster 883 battery, gas tank, or clutch cable?

Check fitment for your exact year, make and model, then compare the failed part with the fitment chart and photos on the product page. For a battery, compare the connections and mounting points. For a gas tank, check the mounting area and stated finish. For a clutch cable, confirm which cable and control location you are repairing. Read the part note on any used item, and ask PirateMX before ordering if the page leaves a needed detail unclear.
