Weekend Projects Mule Motorcycles Upgrades Buyer’s Guide

Richard Pollock is the godfather of the modern street tracker. He’s a legend in the custom motorcycle scene, and his builds have been featured on the cover of Cycle World multiple times. If you haven’t seen any of his hand-built Mule motorcycles, you need to go fix that. Right now.

We love and respect (and even fear, a little) Richard Pollock because his Mule motorcycles are functional art: they don’t only look amazing, but they’re designed to be some of the hardest hitting trackers out there. Not a single part on his bikes have been overlooked; everything (literally) has been maximized for performance. He even designed his own swingarm spacers because the stock spacers were simply not good enough for him. You know how much play the stock spacers allow? 0.055”. You know how much his spacers allow? 0.003”. Is there actually a noticeable difference? You bet. Get sideways and crossed up on a Mule, and you’ll immediately know what it means to have confidence in how well your bike runs. Mule bikes perform so well because they aren’t made by a designer who only knows numbers, but by a tried and true racer. Richard Pollock flat tracks. And he flat tracks like a boss, with decades of experience under his belt. These bikes are for people who really ride, by a guy who really rides.

It is thus with great pride and excitement that we announce our partnership with Richard Pollock and Mule Motorcycles.

Even though each Mule bike is one-of-a-kind, all their parts aren’t one-offs. Mule Motorcycles has a catalog offering a number of parts commonly used on his builds. As Mule Motorcycles’ partner, we are now the exclusive manufacturer and dealer for his parts catalog.

The Mule Tri-Oil Cooler Kit is as much a performance part as it is a cosmetic upgrade. The Mule Tri-Oil Cooler Kit is a complete custom solution to increasing performance, reducing weight, and delivering a one-of-a-kind look. By keeping your oil cool, your engine will be able to perform more efficiently for longer periods of time.

The Mule Seat Kit creates a total style transformation for your Modern Classic. More than a simple seat-swap, the Mule Seat Kit shortens the stock rear overhang to deliver a timeless street tracker vibe that will set more than a couple tongues wagging.

The Mule Sprocket Cover shows off your Modern Classic’s driveline mechanicals, but still keeps them protected from debris. These billet aluminum covers are lighter than the stock covers and have an understated sense of confidence.

For those looking to make their solo setup as streamlined as possible, the Mule Passenger Peg Block-Offs provide a great-looking and lightweight option. Whether you like the look of a solo seater or you’re running high header exhaust on your race setup, the Mule Passenger Peg Block-Offs are a sleek and subtle upgrade to finish your build.

Any tracker build needs tracker bars. Richard Pollock has developed what he thinks are the perfect bars for getting sideways and maintaining control. The Mule Bars are easy to install and add a true retro look, and are available in 1″ and 7/8″.

Small upgrades can have big effects. The Mule Swingarm Spacers, as mentioned above, tighten the play in one of the most performance-sapping connections on your bike: the swingarm. With these spacers, your bike will be noticeably stiffer, and will handle significantly better.

We’re committed to upholding Richard Pollock’s level of manufacturing precision. We wouldn’t have it any other way. So when you buy one of his parts from us, you know it’s going to be just as high quality as if he made it himself.

Transform your Triumph this weekend with some upgrades designed by legendary builder Richard Pollock of Mule Motorcycles, and build the street tracker you’ve always dreamed of having.
