Harley-Davidson's profilation of this bike
The Forty-Eight® motorcycle has always been about attitude. The bulldog stance, fat front tire. The narrow profile. And this year it has been pushed even further. New seat. New mag wheels. New wider 49mm cartridge dampened forks that make its shoulders even more muscular and the ride even better. The famous 2.1 gallon peanut tank now sports ’70s-inspired graphics and a cast tank badge. A floating rotor and blacked out/slotted exhaust add to the fresh new presence. You will find comfort from the new, adjustable rear suspension.
