KEY FEATURES 

The Sportster® 1200 Custom combines the agility and performance of a Sportster® model with the bold, fat attitude of a custom cruiser. With its beefy front end, wide triple clamps, and fat tires on Chrome 5-spoke Cast Aluminum wheels, it provides a clean style and chrome trim that give it an unmistakable “in-your-face” presence. The suspension and geometry are balanced to provide excellent handling, while the H-D1™ factory customization process allows customers to personalize their ride with seat, handlebar, foot control, wheel, security, paint, and engine finish options directly from the factory. Harley-Davidson proves once again that no one does fat custom like they do.
