2018 Parts and Accessories Spring Supplement
Harley-Davidson has just released images of their new-for 2018 Iron1200 Sportster and it’s a real corker. We especially dig the moody, black-on-black finish extending from the burly, 74 cubic inch engine to the shrouded forks. Inspired by the many street customs you’ll see in places like Los Angeles, the Iron 1200 even rolls with a bikini fairing a la “Sons of Anarchy” and a set of optional drag bars for excellent low-speed control. The folks in Milwaukee are smart to borrow trends from the street custom scene and re-interpret them for their factory rides, as we expect this bike will be a hit not only here in the U.S. but globally. There’s some notable tech upgrades to this year’s XL line-up as well, from the adjustable emulsion shocks in the rear to new fork internals and anti-lock brakes as standard. Yes, we intend to ride one and will bring you a full riding evaluation later this spring.
