Golden Strike – Tribute to the Sport Glide
The Golden Strike is not a farewell, but a tribute. In silky matt gold brown, we interpret a Harley-Davidson model that was only built for a short time but had a clear character.
With the 2025 model year, the Sport Glide is finally out of the lineup. It already disappeared from the Harley-Davidson range in 2024. However, we secured several bikes early on in order to build a few more stylish custom bikes from them.
Its position was never clear-cut: touring comfort thanks to removable panniers, sporty accents thanks to upside-down forks and compact fairing. It is precisely this unusual combination that makes the Sport Glide special – and makes it all the more desirable today for individual custom conversions.
Clear focus on lines and proportions
The Golden Strike is not about extremes, but about precision. The aim is to sharpen the existing lines and maintain the proportions of the base model.
We replaced the standard Mantis cast wheels with classic, sporty Thunderbike spoke wheels – deliberately in larger dimensions with 21 inches at the front and 18 inches at the rear. By raising the front fender, the original front fender can be retained even with the 21-inch front wheel. Fully floated brake discs and the pulley from our Spoke line are used to match. Only with this consistent component setup does the overall picture remain technically clean and visually harmonious.

The 32 mm Hollywood Light handlebars and Mustang seat ensure pure riding pleasure and a relaxed seating position on every route. Long tours are effortless, without losing control or precise handling. The Oval Grand Classic airbox cover, brake caliper cover, New Custom topper, and satin-finish grips and footrests complete the setup.
The 2-in-1 exhaust system remains true to the basic concept, but in this version it works as a Jekill & Hyde “The One” with slashcut end caps. Standard turn signals have been replaced by our stripe turn signals: integrated almost invisibly under the instruments at the front, and designed as inconspicuous 3-in-1 LEDs in the Thunderbike license plate at the rear.
The final touch is provided by the paintwork from Chiko’s Pinstriping: silk matt gold and warm brown with clear surfaces, complemented by shiny black accents and fine, sporty pinstripes.
