Who we are!

Offroadmotoparts.com is a small online retailer that was started to help increase the buying power of Highland Cycles in Montrose Colorado.  Highland Cycles is a locally owned and operated, independent motorcycle shop that delivers the best service and parts in Western Colorado. 

The Owner of both of these businesses is Morgan Spradling.  Morgan eats, sleeps, and breathes motorcycles.  His passion for the sport is why these two businesses exist. He started Highland Cycles in the spring of 2007 and has weathered the worst economy since the great depression.  It hasn't been easy and it hasn't been fun the whole time but his determination to bring great work and great parts to the offroad community has gotten him through. 

Morgan has big dreams for his little businesses.  His goal is to build multiple shops that all stay small and personal but have the collective buying power to offer internet pricing to the folks who walk in off the street.  He wants people to be able to ask a human, in person, about a part or accessory and get a real, honest and informed answer.  That is why he is giving out his shop number on this site.  If you have a question about a part or its function then please call 970-240-2197 and talk to either Morgan or one of his amazing employees.  They all ride and race and can help you in your decision on what you need.  This ISNT motosport.com, this ISNT rocky mountain.  Those are great places but we can guarantee that if you call that number or order a part, you will be dealing directly with an offroad motorcyclist, not just someone in a cubicle! 

Please let your riding friends know about us and spread the word. If you subscribe to our email list you will receive great offers on amazing parts and we promise to take care of each and every one of you!!!

Topar Racing Billet Guards

Brakes are an important part of your motorcycle!!  I know that sounds funny but I am reviewing a really great way to protect your precious brakes while slamming through the rocks and gnar of everyday off-road motorcycling. 

Topar Racing out of Trinidad Colorado is building what I believe to be the best of the best when it comes to disk, caliper, and fork guards. 

Their guards are amazing.  They are built from solid billet (I know that is redundant) aluminum and machined to fit perfectly.  The fins both front and rear are replaceable as well as the rear caliper guard that comes with the rear disk guard.  As you can see from the photos below, mine have seen some serious action and my brake rotors are still straight. 

A bent rotor isn't the end of the world of course and you can buy them for less than you pay for one of these guards but when you are charging hard through a trail and you need to slow down for a turn and all of a sudden you brakes aren't working, the amount of money you saved doesn't really seam all that important.  I remember very clearly an instance before I used these guards when I ended up wrong side up and off the trail because I had bent my front brake rotor but didn't know.  As I careened out of control towards the corner (this is before I knew I didn't have brakes) I went to put the binders on and...    NOTHING!!!  I stabbed the rear but it was way too late.  I launched so far off the trail.  I was lucky to not be injured. 

I have tried numerous other brake rotor guards and these are by far my favorite and have held up the best.  And there is the added benefit that they are built in the great state of Colorado!!!

Cycra Handguards

As you all may be figuring out, I am really hard on equipment.  If a part isn't built really well then I will destroy it.  I think it has mostly to do with all of the crashing.  I know for a fact it isn't because of speed. 

I started my motorcycle career with plastic Acerbis hand guards.  Those didn't make it a week before I had broken both levers and ruined the guards.  Next I went to the Acerbis guards that had aluminum in them and they were better but I still managed to mangle them pretty quickly.  Then I thought I was really smart and went with some flag style guards.  That experiment ended with a broken and permanently misshapen finger.  Finally I tried the expensive but really well built Cycra ProBend CRM guards.  I have had the same pair now for 2 bikes and haven't been able to destroy them.

The ProBends are great.  They made from billet aluminum and designed to be easy to mount and easy to get your hands out of the way in case of a crash.  The CRM (Center Reach Mount) design is awesome too.  With the mounts reaching all the way to the cylindrical part of the bar (not the tapered part) you get more strength and consistent tightening.  

I have crashed and crashed and banged mine against all sorts of obstacles and they are still great.  I recommend pairing them with the threaded inserts we sell to because they give you a super positive mount.   

As always, FOREVER TWO WHEELS!!!!!!

Ironman Sprockets

I never in a million years thought I would do a glowing review of a sprocket, but here we go!!!

I switched to Ironman Sprockets quite a few years ago.  I had grown tired of replacing chains and sprockets multiple times a year and a friend suggested the Ironman.  Well since I switched I have been so impressed.  The pic in this post is of my last Ironman Sprocket that had at least 250 hrs on it and 2 chains. 

I know that the sprockets are expensive but when you look at how long they last and the lack of maintenance needed it makes sense to buy the Ironman Sprocket. 

They are tough as nails when it comes to impact too.  I have hammered mine and never had a problem. 

I guarantee you will be pleased with the Ironman Sprocket if you get one.

Evans Powersports Coolant

Here in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado trails are tight and slow compared to lots of other places. And where I like to ride we have problems with bikes overheating in the really rough terrain. In the past the solution has been a fan kit or picking up the pace to a level that is dangerous. A few years ago I learned about Evans waterless coolant and the game changed. Evans doesn't use any water at all and because of that doesn't boil over until a much higher temp. The benefit isn't just keeping coolant in your bike, it also ensures that the coolant continues to touch the hot parts of your motor and draw that detrimental heat away. What that means is that your motor is in better shape for longer. The other upside to not having water in the engine is that you don't have corrosion or electrolysis which degrade parts of the cooling system. I stand behind Evans Powersports Coolant 100% and believe that everyone should use it even if you don't have overheating problems.

Fastway Linkage Guard

I am really hard on my motorcycle.  Its not that I am fast or talented, in fact its probably the opposite problem.  I hit every rock, root and obstacle in the trail without fail.  Because of that I really test the protective parts I put on my bike.  If they don't hold up, I don't put them on this site. 

  One product that I believe in completely is the Fastway Linkage guard.  Links on motorcycles are inherently vulnerable and really expensive to replace.  The biggest problem to me is that if you break one or part of one, you day is over and you may have a really hard time getting back to the truck.  Enter the Fastway Linkage guard. 

  This thing is TOUGH!  It is built from billet aluminum and it is heavy duty.  The design is sleek yet protective and they just look good if you ask me.  Unlike other guards the fastway guard doesn't add a part to your bike, it replaces one so you don't end up with more stuff hanging unnecessarily from your motorcycle.  

  The other really cool benefit of the fastway linkage guard is that it is adjustable.  It allows you to adjust the length of the link thereby allowing for seat height adjustment and over all geometry changes that can increase tractability or improve turning. 

  I am a big fan of the guard and I think it is absolutely worth the money.

FLEXX Handle Bars

I don't know about you but after years of riding and unfortunately crashing, my body isn't as limber and pain free as it used to be. I have one wrist that aches and recently it started keeping me from doing long hard rides. I considered having a doctor look at it but the idea of paying someone way too much money to tell me that I'm banged up didn't appeal to me.
For years I had been seeing some of the older fast guys running Flexx bars but the price of those scared me away too. Finally, with my annual Bataan Death March (gnar fest we do every year near Crested Butte) approaching I decided to give the a try. I called the boys in Utah and became a dealer.
I mounted the bars up and after some initial struggling got my bark busters mounted too. They didn't seem to do anything when I first mounted my steed. But as the 150 mile day progressed I began to forget about my wrist and started focusing on just getting through the rough terrain. At the end of the day I was drinking a celebratory beer and remembered that my wrist should be hurting but it wasn't!!
I have run the bars since then and can say without reservation that they are worth every penny! That is why we are offering them here on www.offroadmotoparts.com. I absolutely believe that you will love them if you try them.

Kriega US-5

I absolutely LOVE my Kriega pack. I have used it on my KTM 300 XC for over 30 hrs of hard riding and it's been flawless. I even pressure washed it to check its "waterproofness" and everything stayed dry. If you don't like carrying tools on your body this is THE fender bag for you!!
