2016 Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight, Forty-Eight - The redesigned 2016 Forty-Eight motorcycle comes at you with more low-slung Dark Custom attitude than ever, from its fat front end to its new cast aluminum wheels. Classic Peanut Fuel Tank with New 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.

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. Clean Rear End Styling When the look is fast and smooth, details count and clutter doesn?t make the cut. We carefully crafted the rear end with retro-styled Stop-Turn-Tail lights and a side-mounted license plate to leave the fender surface clean and uncluttered for an authentically raw, custom look. And while the lamps may look old-school, it's their new-school engineering that keeps things clean, packing stop, turn and running beams into each bullet.
