Harley-Davidson Sportster description
2014 Harley-Davidson Sportster Forty-Eight, 2014 HARLEY-DAVIDSON?? SPORTSTER?? FORTY-EIGHT??With a fat front tire and steel peanut tank, this low-slung urban brawler is ready to rip through any scene.Key Features:Fat Front WheelA beefy front end with a tall, fat MT90 tire gives the Forty-Eight?? model a grounding visual equal to that of a 1950 Mercury. Custom rubber reminiscent of the lead-sled culture. A dominating presence up front that provides a smooth ride and solid handling.Evolution?? Engine HeritageThe Evolution?? engine???known in certain crowds as the Blockhead???was first bolted to the frame of a Harley-Davidson?? motorcycle back in 1984. Born from legendary Shovelhead and Ironhead engines, the Evolution?? engine broke new ground in displacement innovation while maintaining the hunger for power, durability and proven reliability that The Motor Company was built on.New Foundation Brake SystemLike riding itself, you can never go too far when it comes to improving a bike???s brakes. This is why for 2014 we gave the brake system of each Sportster model a complete overhaul designed to improve performance, fit and finish. We increased the size of the brake rotors from 292mm to 300mm, and added a more powerful, stylized front caliper with 34mm pistons, and stylized rear caliper to match. Other system features include an improved all-aluminum integrated rear master cylinder with reservoir, new all-aluminum front master cylinder with reduced friction and higher efficiency, and stainless steel braided lines. It all adds up to more confidence on the road, and more power and predictability when you squeeze the brakes.Low Seat & Slammed SuspensionThe combination of a lowered front and rear suspension together with a low solo seat???just 26 inches high???provides confidence for riders of all sizes and experience. A responsive ride for whipping through town or busting out onto the interstate.Forward-Mounted ControlsWith the custom forward-mounted controls on the Forty-Eight?? model, you can kick back a little and stretch your legs for the ultimate cruise through town or across the state line. It's time to take in the open road the way you were meant to???on a two-wheeled machine that's built to outdo the rest.
