I think MoCo has trolls on the various Forums. Looking at this bike, there are a lot of Mods that people have done to their Nightsters/Irons that are now incorporated as stock on this bike. I'm digging the tires, and the spring seat. Not really feeling the price tag or the small tank. __________________

I wonder if we can get that very same fat front tire and use it on our stock rims...

ok , i'll admit to not knowing much about sportsters , why is it called 48 ?

it is very nice looking , and obviously inspired by some of the bikes here (maybe on some other lesser forums too)

and a question about the video ... what's the point of showing a bunch of sexy young ladies in a video about a bike that only comes with a solo seat ?


edit: somewhere in the back of my brain i'm thinking the original sportster had a 48 inch motor . am i right ?

The 48 stands for the year the peanut tank was first introduced.

Just by looking at specs, the nghtster has a 19" front and this 48 has a 16" front. Am I correct? If so we couldn't just swap the tire. Now, I really wanna know what it'll take to swap to the 16" fatty. I love that fat tire.
