Description:

    This rare and exceptionally well detailed early Sportster was painstakingly restored using a lifetime accumulation of new old stock parts. A highly desired “Competition Hot” model, this bike has been tastefully fitted with period correct accessories.

    A purist will note that this motorcycle could be considered “over restored” The fact is that the polishing and personalizing of motorcycles began at the dealership. Flawless paint, perfect chrome, and beautifully polished aluminum give the bike a “factory custom” appearance.

    This XLCH runs every bit as nicely as it looks, but it's exceptionally tidy appearance is what make her a standout at any show.

Shelved Harley-Davidson Penster Tilting Trike Prototypes Revealed

Thu, 04 Aug 2011

The Harley-Davidson Museum has pulled the covers off discarded prototypes of a leaning three-wheeled motorcycle developed by The Motor Company. Harley-Davidson commissioned automobile hot rodding legend John Buttera to build the original prototype (pictured above) in 1998. Codenamed the “Penster”, the Trike looks like it could have been an earlier version of the Can-Am Spyder, but it had a tilting front end similar to the Piaggio MP3.

A (Not So) Silent Night from Harley-Davidson – Video

Tue, 17 Dec 2013
