Site Rules

How we keep the marketplace clean

Sportster Market only works because every listing is real. By posting or buying here, you agree to the rules below — they're short, fair and strictly enforced.

For sellers

Honest pricing

Always list a real, fixed asking price in a real currency. No 'DM for price' or fake discount theatrics.

Real photos only

At least one clear, recent photo of the actual bike or part. No stock images, no manufacturer renders.

Accurate details

Year, model, mileage, location and condition must match reality. Disclose modifications, damage and known issues.

One listing per item

No duplicate posts. Mark sold items as SOLD or remove the listing within 24 hours after the sale.

For buyers

Communicate respectfully

Lowball offers are fine, harassment is not. Treat sellers the way you'd want to be treated.

Inspect before you pay

Always view the bike in person or via live video. Never wire money sight-unseen.

Report scams

Spotted something fishy? Report the listing. We respond within 24 hours and remove bad actors permanently.

Not allowed

These get listings removed and accounts banned without warning:

  • Stolen bikes or parts
  • Salvage / non-roadworthy bikes sold as roadworthy
  • Counterfeit parts marketed as OEM
  • Crypto, gift card or wire-transfer-only payment demands
  • Off-topic listings (anything that isn't a Sportster, related part, or accessory)
  • Spam, hate speech, or external scam links
