Harley XLH1200 Sportster based cafe racer
Many parts supplied by Red Max Speed shop
A real crowd puller, supplied with a current V5C
Harley Davidson was established in Milwaukee in 1903 and has gone on to become one of the world's most iconic and longest-running motorcycle manufacturers. Harleys epitomise large-capacity cruisers; many have tried to copy them but have never quite managed to match the Harley image and prestige. The Sportster range has been produced continuously since 1957, powered by the classic air-cooled V-twin engine in a simple chassis, the model has formed the basis of many custom specials over the years.
This XLH1200 Sportster was converted into Cafe Racer trim by the vendor in 2019 using many parts supplied by Red Max Speed Shop. This rebuild included a race style Lyta fuel tank, a single sports seat with a custom made pad, alloy front mudguard, ARH custom chrome switchgear, chrome clutch and brake master cylinders, new brake disc and Venhill stainless hoses. The wheels have been rebuilt using Morad alloy rims with stainless spokes shod with a pair of Avon Roadrunners. As a finishing touch, it is fitted with a chrome Kuryakyn Hypercharger air filter. A more unusual take on the popular Cafe Racer style special, the vendor reports that this stand out machine always draws attention at bike meets and comes supplied with old MOTs dating back to 2013 and current V5C.
