Breaking News. 2016 Harley-Davidson Motorcycles Reveal. The Darkest And Most Powerful Cruiser Lineup In Harley’s History.
Published by Cyril Huze August 23rd, 2015 in Builders, Editorial and Events.
The U.S. reveal was in Portland, Oregon. The new Iron 883 and Forty-Eight Dark Customs follow the sub-brand’s retro aesthetic and add a new suspension package and mag wheels and better seating setup to get more “smooth” in the ride. Harley also revealed the Road Glide Ultra under its Project Rushmore banner.
Two new hard-hitting Dark Custom models, the most powerful cruiser lineup in company history, and a broad range of performance and styling enhancements throughout the range highlight Harley-Davidson’s powerful new model lineup for 2016.

2016 Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Highlights:
• New Dark Iron 883™ and Dark Forty-Eight® models assert Harley-Davidson’s Dark Custom leadership with motorcycles inspired by the rebellious spirit of the past updated with modern design and new suspensions that put a little extra smooth in the Harley-Davidson soul.
• The Fat Boy® S and Softail Slim® S. A new S series limited-edition cruisers featuring big power and cutting-edge style. Both models combine rich finishes with the impressive Screamin’ Eagle Twin Cam 110” engine to deliver more performance.
• All Softail® and Dyna® models (except Street Bob) Get The High Output Twin Cam 103™ Previously only available in Harley-Davidson Touring bikes. Engine upgrade creates the most powerful cruiser lineup in Harley-Davidson history.
• Return of the Road Glide® Ultra Motorcycle, expanding Project RUSHMORE’s touring revolution.
“This is another historic year for Harley-Davidson,” said Mark-Hans Richer, Harley-Davidson Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. “We’re introducing the most powerful collection of cruisers in our history, including the brand-new S series. We’re raising the bar on Dark Custom motorcycles with the new Iron 883 and Forty-Eight models, the purest expression of the design movement we started in 2008. And we’re extending our lead in touring with the return of the Road Glide Ultra and redesign of the popular Heritage Softail Classic.”
Dark Custom Soul
The new Iron 883 is intentionally raw and rough around the edges,with a modern design inspired by garage-built bobbers past and present. All-new front and adjustable rear suspension, lighter-weight mag wheels and improved seating increase comfort and control to smooth the road ahead. The new Forty-Eight achieves its menacing stance with a burly front tire, new mag wheels and a massive front end with new 49mm forks, and also benefits from improved adjustable rear suspension and seating. Retro styling cues and a perfect ratio of black, color and chrome give this bike a bold visual presence. Riders navigating rough and tumble urban streets on the lean and nimble Harley-Davidson Street® 750 and 500 models will appreciate the improved confidence from new front and rear braking systems.
Most Powerful Cruiser Lineup Ever
Powered by the Screamin’ Eagle Twin Cam 110 engine, the new Fat Boy S and Softail Slim S cruisers deliver power and performance once reserved for Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) models. Both limited-edition models feature dark styling for menacing looks that match their muscle.
The Softail Slim S is available in a new Olive Gold Denim color with military-inspired styling, paying homage to the post-war customs that launched the bobber movement. Harley-Davidson gives more riders a dose of Project RUSHMORE performance by making the High Output Twin Cam 103 engine standard in every other 2016 Softail model. The High Output Twin Cam 103 is also the new standard engine for all 2016 Dyna models except the Street Bob® model.
Softail Cruise Control
There’s more cruiser news in 2016; for the first time ever electronic cruise control is available on all Harley-Davidson Softail models. The convenience of Harley-Davidson electronic cruise control, enabled by new electronic throttle control, is standard equipment on 2016 Heritage Softail® Classic, Softail® Deluxe, Fat Boy S and Softail Slim S models and available as an accessory for all other 2016 Softail models.
New Sportster Suspension
All 2016 Sportster® models will tame rough roads with all-new front and rear suspension and improved seats working together to enhance rider comfort and control. The new seats incorporate premium materials and revised shapes to provide more supportive comfort. The re-engineered Sportster suspension pairs emulsion coil-over shocks with new front cartridge forks. Nitrogen gas-charged shocks resist oil aeration and feature an internal valve stack with 36mm pistons and high-performance oil to provide superior compression and rebound damping control that reacts quickly to small bumps and keeps the tires in contact on uneven road surfaces. Progressive-rate spring pre-load is adjustable by a threaded collar using a spanner that stows under the seat. Tuned to complement the shocks, the stout forks feature a calibrated piston and valve stack and progressive rate springs for consistent feel throughout the compression and extension range of the suspension. The triple-rate spring and oil lock allows the forks to resist wheel hop under hard braking.
Road Glide Ultra
A two-year absence from the Harley-Davidson Touring line was time well spent infusing the Road Glide Ultra with enhanced style, outstanding aerodynamics and optimized touring ergonomics for rider and passenger– the full influence of the customer-led Project RUSHMORE product-development effort. Propelled by the unrelenting performance of the Twin-Cooled™ High Output Twin Cam 103™ powertrain, the new Road Glide Ultra will exceed the expectations of the most demanding touring motorcyclist.
Heritage Softail Classic
Combining nostalgic style with smooth, modern Softail performance, the Heritage Softail Classic receives refreshed styling for 2016 plus the High Output Twin Cam 103 powertrain, standard electronic cruise control, and a new and improved saddlebag support structure.
The new 2016 Harley-Davidson® motorcycles and accessories start rolling into Harley-Davidson® dealerships immediately.

BLAZER (motorcycle movie) by Simon and Gregory Mills
Every Rider will relate. Sometimes our machines are trying to tells us something (the ghost in the machine), sometimes it's just enjoy the moment and look around.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Todos los Motociclistas lo comprenderan. Hay veces que nuestras maquinas nos quieren decir algo (el fantasma de la maquina), en ocasiones puede ser tan simple como disfrutar el momento y observer tu alrededor.

Brief thought on fabricating.
There is plenty of motivation out there. I think the main reason is just start doing it. I heard the other day "clarity comes from moving" I forgot who said it but that got stuck with me. In all ventures in life you can not meditate yourself into enlightenment.
In my opinion you have to start by copying other builders, just like when you start playing an instrument, once you have the basics down you learn some songs, then after a while you start finding your unique style. That is exactly the same with fabricating, it's only through time that you find what you don't like, what doesn't work and then you find your unique style.
Keep moving forward and fuck shit up! It's the only way to learn.

RSD El Zarape Sportster
Roland built this bike for his wife. So you could say this is an RSD version of a girl's bike. Based on a solid mounted motor 2000 Sportster, the Zarape's a people pleaser. New Bolero slim seat has kept the seat height as low as possible. We've used our new Mega Riser and narrow ProStep bars to keep things skinny up front while providing a comfortable, aggressive and easy to ride body position.
Preload fork adjusters allow for tunable fork adjustment along with upper fork tube covers and boots that black out the entire front end. Black Ops Morris wheels wrapped in sticky Dunlops drop major rotating mass, greatly improving handling and rideability. New RSD calipers, front and back, and prototype Lyndall blacked out Morris discs drastically improve stopping power.
Slant exhaust and Blunt intake rapidly pull air and exhaust through the system increasing stock HP. Regulator adjustable levers, grips and pegs offer a subtle and comfortable connection to the bike and controls. Road trip or bar stop, the Zarape is ready to go.
