2017 Harley-Davidson XL1200X - Forty-Eight, Forty-Eight® The 2017 Forty-Eight® motorcycle comes at you with more low-slung Dark Custom attitude than ever, from its fat front end to its cast aluminum wheels. We didn t rebuild it. We reloaded it. The first time the world saw this iconic 2.1-gallon gas tank was in 1948. But the world has never seen it sitting atop anything quite like this. The Forty-Eight®. Designed with its signature bulldog stance and the powerful 1200cc Evolution® engine. Large 49mm front forks, an adjustable rear suspension, cast aluminum wheels with floating rotors and powerful brakes bring plenty of handling and comfort to all this heavy-hitting style. Authentic Styling FAT FRONT WHEEL: A 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. Authentic Styling CLASSIC PEANUT FUEL TANK WITH BADGE: First appearing on a Harley-Davidson® motorcycle back in 1948 and providing the inspiration for the Forty-Eight® model name the small 2.1 gallon tapered peanut fuel tank holds strong today with its traditional styling and modern attitude. It adds to the machine's low, powerful bulldog look, showing off the solid mass of the engine and the rawboned style of the lean Sportster® frame. We mount it on a metal strip drilled with old-school lightening holes. Then top the works with vivid graphics and a 3D metal badge rooted deep in the bike s retro modern culture. The peanut fuel tank is attitude and looks all balled up into one. SLAMMED HANDLEBAR, SPEEDO AND UNDER MOUNT MIRRORS: The slammed black drag-style handlebar with speedo and under mount mirrors adds to the stripped down, minimal look of the Forty-Eight® motorcycle. Inspired by the way hot rod pioneers used to slam their rides, the drag style handlebar is an old-school garage feature that demands a forward, aggressive riding position. EXHAUST WITH LASER CUT EXHAUST SHIELDS: The staggered shorty-dual exhaust has been around almost as long as the Sportster® family itself. But that doesn t mean we can t take the time-honored pipes to a place that s brand new. To achieve the stunning dark-breaking-through-bright look on the Forty-Eight® exhaust, we blacked-out the mufflers. Then topped them with chrome exhaust shields adorned with laser-cut groves. PURE HARLEY-DAVIDSON STYLING: Feast your eyes on the 1200cc Evolution® engine and there's no mistaking its roots. This is authentic Harley-Davidson style through and through with an attention to detail you won't find from any other motorcycle company. Right in the center: a round air cleaner cover, covered in gloss black and loaded with retro style. Surrounding it you have black powder coating on the cases and cylinders, polished rocker covers
