Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a long, low, heavy custom chopper-style machine with a stretched 42-degree rake and a huge 23-inch front wheel.
PurposeThis is a boulevard show-and-go custom built for style, presence, and cruising rather than outright performance or practicality.
Rider FitThe low-slung seating and wide, stretched frame demand a relaxed reach to the bars but confident low-speed balance skills due to its extended wheelbase and slow steering geometry.
CharacterA bold, head-turning S&S-powered custom cruiser dripping in billet finishes and personalization options, meant to be seen as much as ridden.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders seeking agile cornering, off-road capability, or long-distance touring comfort.
