Thunderbike Steel Force • Harley-Davidson Fat Boy 114 Custombike

They are big guys

It’s no coincidence if you think you’ve seen this style before. It’s intentional! What’s good catches on and we keep getting better. The Force bikes are named for a reason. They’re fat boys, based on the Milwaukee Eight Fat Boy, and their performance lives up to the name. We’re always making them a little more powerful.

It starts with our massive wheels, 23″ at the front and 21″ at the rear. These are 3-piece ‘Big Speed‘ wheels in a high-sheen Contrast Cut finish.

Contrast cut, which means that from time to time bare metal shines through the black coating. This makes sense, especially as the Force is called the Steel Force.

To show off the bike, which is always a bit hidden at the back, we combined it with our single-sided swingarm kit. The single-sided swingarm gives a full view of the right side of the bike, including the striking centre lock. We are particularly proud of this as it makes the bike look like it has just come from the pit stop.

The counterpoint on the left is our perimeter brake, with its beguilingly cheeky brake fist on the inside. This is what sovereignty looks like. And this is how power and glory radiate out into the world.

The Steel rear fender with integrated LED lights hugs the wheel, at least when the Air-Ride is lowered. Good for when you park the bike in front of a café and sip an espresso. To keep the look consistent, we shortened the fork and lowered the front end. When you’re on the road, raise the rear for full comfort.

Also the saddle comes from our house and is adapted to the “Steel” fender

The flat Hollywood Light handlebars will keep you relaxed and riding

To keep the line flat, the insanely comfortable ‘Hollywood Light’ handlebars sit atop the front end. So you have everything under control, even when braking through the 340mm Big Speed disc. We told you, this is what confidence looks like. Jekill & Hyde’s Shorty Big Shot silencers provide a legal concert of desires to match the looks.

Ingo Kruse’s paintwork allows the Steel Force’s steel motif to shine through. It’s a final chord for all the senses when you drive off the lot after your espresso. You have delivered your exclusive show.
