Most Noticeable Harley Davidson Trike

By Indra Gunawan

Harley Davidson Trike will offer two models on its three-wheel. Trike motorcycle platform for 2010, as the new Street Glide Trike joins the Tri Glide Ultra Classic. As its name implies, the Street Glide Trike brings the lean, stripped down, hot rod styling of the two wheeled Street Glide model to the three wheel category. With a smoked mini wind deflector and no Tour Pak luggage carrier, the Street Glide Trike is lighter and more compact than the Tri Glide Ultra Classic.

With its Trike platform, Harley Davidson brings original equipment design, quality and service to the three wheel motorcycle segment. Both Trike models utilize a frame and associated chassis structure and geometry engineered specifically to handle the loads generated by the steering forces and weight of a three wheel vehicle. The rear axle assembly utilizes an aluminum center section with steel axle tubes. Dual front disc brakes are complemented by a Hayes Brake dual disc rear brake system with a lever actuated, integrated parking brake.

Both the Street Glide Trike and the Tri Glide Ultra Classic models are powered by a rubber mounted, Twin Cam 103 V-Twin engine with Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI), rated at 101 ft. lbs. of torque. The 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission features a new helical cut fifth gear. An optional electric reverse ($1,195) is integrated with the rear differential assembly and engaged with a handlebar-mounted control with LED indicator.

The molded composite Trike bodywork is a perfect color match for the tank and front fender. Because the rear fenders are each a separate piece from the rest of the rear bodywork, they can be removed individually for repair, replacement or service. The trunk provides 4.3 cubic feet of storage space and 50 pound capacity. Matching black and machined split seven spoke cast aluminum wheels provide an integrated, factory built look.

What Is So Fascinating About Harley Screamin Eagle?

By Indra Gunawan

Get a load of this VRSCSE Screamin Eagle, and then stick your eyeballs back in their sockets. This is what happens when Harley Davidson Styling and Custom Vehicle Operations teams get a hold of a machine like the V-Rod®. Enhancing the power of the Revolution® engine feels like an embarrassment of riches. But you’ll never see this one blush. It weighs in at 1250cc with 10% more torque and horsepower, and you definitely feel the difference in the seat of your pants. All that power meets the road via a set of custom wheels. Reporting all the fun back to you is a new speedo/tach arrangement perched on a taller, wider handlebar. The aluminum air box features an LED fuel display, clock and indicator lights. Production is limited. And the only thing moving faster than a V-Rod at your dealership is one on the street.

A Guide To Harley Softail

By Indra Gunawan

The new 2010 Softail convertible designed to be the one motorcycle you can use for all your Harley Davidson lifestyle needs. Harley Davidson research says these bike are “aspirational” and that some customers actively covet (often for years) before purchasing.

The 2010 Softail Convertible with its easily removable touring hardware is built to “Get there in comfort and strip down to style,” according to CVO team manager Jeff Smith. It’s a pretty simple recipe, actually.

According to CVO team manager Jeff Smith, The new 2010 Softail Convertible is built to get there in comfort and strip down to style, with its easily removable touring hardware. This allowed easy fitment of Harley Davidson readily available quick release fairing hardware, helping to form the basis of the new bike’s convertibility.

Killing bugs for you is a svelte new color matched fairing/smoked windscreen, which strikes a nice balance between style and function. That’s pretty commendable wind protection from a 5 pound of equipment you can pop off in just a few seconds.

Completed with the leather saddlebags that also easily removed. To make it perfect transformation to boulevard cruiser, detach the padded backrest and passenger seat. When our count of all the parts book chrome add ons reached 50, we stopped counting. As with the other CVO models, multiple paint schemes are available, and overall fit and finish quality is phenomenal.

CVO boss Jeff Romanesko is proud of how over the years his team has created all manner of new parts and processes that trickle down into mainline Harley Davidson products. For an over the top turnkey alternative, though, it is hard to beat the $27,999 CVO Softail Convertible.
