Thunderbike Platinum Force • Harley-Davidson Fat Boy 114 Custombike

Platinum Force!

How else to describe the colour scheme when it resembles platinum, one of the most precious metals of all: Platinum Force! Our Fat-Boy-based Force bikes do not hide what they have. Their powerful wheels are backed by equally powerful looks. 23″ front, 21″ rear.

And these are not just numbers. There’s also something technical. At the front, there’s the 300 mm disc brake in the characteristic Big Speed design, adapted to the wheel spokes. And at the rear, things really get going: The 9-inch wheel is fitted with a 260 tyre, and both are mounted on our single-sided swingarm.

We sell the whole thing as a kit, because the unusual perimeter brake disc also matches it. This makes a huge impression on the left side, which is always neglected on Harleys.

It goes without saying that everything can be lowered by Air-Ride, which makes the steel fender with its perfectly concealed rear lights sit even closer to the skin. This is just one of the details that are not visible at first glance. The Platinum Force also features Air-Ride at the front. This means that it can be lowered at the front as well as the rear. We managed to hide the front air ride equipment under the lamp mask.

This is only possible with Air-Ride: a steel fender that sucks in air and conceals integrated rear lights.

To give the Platinum Force something to look at and feel confident about, we have fitted a GP front spoiler and given the Platinum Force a fat back handlebar. A handlebar that pushes forward like it wants to pull out trees. What’s the world coming to? So we added striped turn signals so that nothing disturbs the visual momentum of the handlebars.

Look at those fat handlebars! The striped indicators are hardly more weight, so they need to be mentioned separately.

The spokes of the wheel and disc are matched in the Big Speed design.

The single-sided swingarm is fitted with Big-Speed wheels and a matching perimeter brake disc at the rear.

We already said it: to our Force bikes, like the Crimson Force, Road Force and the Red Force, some things need to be explained so that it provides the decisive overtones in the concert of power.
