Default Finding out whats available

Everytime I look around online at all sorts of parts for Sportys I have a hard time finding anything. Even in catalogs you see everything available for softails but by no way the same amount for Sportsters. Was looking at Hooker headers at a site and saw none for Sportsters however there must be some available. So any special places you guys hunt for your bikes. Take a look at 6o66ers bad *** rear fender....try and find that and all youll see is RIGID,RIGID,RIGID. I even asked a guy at a bike shop I wont go back to anymore a while back how I can mock up a nice flat rigid bobber style fender on a Sporty...his answer "you cant". I laughed and walked right out nvr to return. Somebody complile a catalog of Sportster parts and get rich.....dont forget to send me a commish

Economics.
Sportsters are not big (phallic) enough for the aftermarket to make as many flashy parts for them as the softtail line.
