Harley Davidson unveils the customization of its Forty-Eight
The American brand presents a transformation of its Forty-Eight, aiming to give the popular model an old-school touch, so prized by custom motorcycle enthusiasts
The American brand presents a customization of its popular Sportster Forty-Eight, giving it a old-school look that custom motorcycle enthusiasts treasure. It stands out for its minimalist black leather spring seat, as well as its limited-edition “Color Shop Laguna Paint”.
Its seat gives the motorcycle a nostalgic look. It is made of aged leather and has a lower profile that helps it look more minimalist, “just the essentials” style. The installation kit includes everything needed so you can do it yourself. In addition, the Derby cover, from the Dark Custom collection adds a special touch, contrasting with the polished and painted finishes of the engine.
The textured rubber “Get-A-Grip” grips offer better grip, even in the rain. Their surface feels soft, both with and without gloves. The chrome mirror finish or the glossy black gives you a classic or modern style, your choice. The fuel tank cap, in matte black, includes the machined Bar & Shield logo that matches the Diamond Black fuel gauge.
Finally, the brake and position light, a bright LED with quick response, glows red when switched on and even more intensely when the brakes are applied. This lamp is designed to blend perfectly with the curve of the cut-down rear fender, lending elegance to the Forty-Eight even when it is standing still.

Muy buen artículo. Me encanta esta moto, la verdad es que es muy bonita. el color lo veo acertado y los detalles cromas le dan una presencia más motera.

Hola David, y gracias por tu opinión. ¿Sabes que es lo mejor de esta personalización? Que es de Harley, con lo que cualquiera de las opciones las puedes comprar por separado en cualquier concesionario de la marca, con lo que tu decides en función de tu presupuesto como mejoras tu Forty-Eight… Además ese asiento tan “desnudo” con el muelle al aire le da un toque muy “bobber”.
Muy bonita, la verdad.
Un saludo!!
