Radical and raw Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight
Riding low and featuring the classic 7.95-litre "peanut" fuel tank, the Forty-Eight backs up its bulldog appearance with the performance of its blacked and polished rubber-mounted Evolution 1200cc V-Twin engine. The low solo seat, low profile custom handlebar, forward foot controls, under bar mounted mirrors, fork mounted turn signals, clean rear fender and fat balloon tyres emphasise the Forty Eight's focus on chiseled customisation. A unique dual texture solo seat fits the lone rider, while a passenger pillion, footpegs and backrest are some of the many accessories that can be added.
As a Harley-Davidson Custom, the Forty-Eight is ready to ride and primed to take on its rider's character and personality. Harley-Davidson Sportsters like the Forty-Eight have retained an aura of rebellion since their introduction in 1957. Lying low from tyre-to-tyre, the Forty-Eight showcases more of its black 1200 Evolution V-Twin engine with polished accents and other components with a clean look highlighted by the traditional peanut fuel tank, small solo seat and lightening holes in the backbone mounting bracket. The Forty-Eight has more than just custom cool styling with the smooth ride on new front fork sliders, a fat and wide 150mm front tyre and slammed rear suspension.
The black chopped rear fender with combination stop/turn/tail lights help show off the fat 150mm rear tyre and 16-inch black steel laced wheels. The front tyre also rides on a wide black wheel.
