Further Harley-Davidson accessories for the Pan America 1250

Pan America accessories

You have to give it Harley-Davidson , the Pan America is extensive and is already online before the Pan America is launched. That has to be the case, because it is obviously in great demand.

There has been a real craze for the adventure tourer from Harley-Davidson. In a Harleysite interview, Roger Gierz, one of the managing directors of Harley-Davidson Hamburg Nord, said;

“In all my years at Harley-Davidson, I have never experienced this in this form, where customers order a new model from Harley-Davidson before they have even seen it in real life.”

At the moment only the Papp America is available in the shops of the authorized dealers. Some authorized dealers pass around a Pan America demo model that was probably created using a 3D printer. That's why some of the fittings on the Pan America 3D don't look as good as they will ultimately be on the production vehicle. But to get a little impression of her in advance, it's certainly interesting.

Other HD dealers also reported to me this phenomenon, that demand for Pan America is high, some of whom have already sold half their quota. There are a noticeable number of new customers who have never owned a Harley-Davidson before. Well, we'll see if the Pan America is actually as good as the spec sheet predicts. In any case, the components installed are really good, the chassis is particularly impressive, I'm looking forward to the first test rides with the Pan America 1250 Special .

The accessories program is already online on the Harley-Davidson website, but there's just one catch! The Pan America Special in particular has almost everything on board, so you won't miss much at first. The main stand would be one of the first things on an Enduro, but what you need is already included with the Special. Something else will be found.

Adaptive Ride Height Pan America

A highlight is the adaptive chassis, which lowers itself shortly before stopping. This is unique in its class so far.

Nobody expected that, the idea behind it is simply that you always have a firm grip when stopping in any situation. Even small bikers will be able to handle the Pan America. In combination with the Showa chassis and the upside-down fork, it's a pretty perfect solution.

Pan America Daymaker additional lights

Despite the good standard equipment, there is still something to be found, the additional Daymakers are included, for example, a lot of light can never hurt, good lighting is an advantage, especially on impassable routes.

The normal light output in combination with the cornering lights is certainly impressive, but the additional lights are very helpful on unknown routes or in fog.

PAN AMERICA SCREAMIN' EAGLE STREET CANNON SILENCER

The Screamin Eagle silencer looks a lot better, let's hope that it is also available in Germany with an EC approval. The exhaust has a matt brushed finish and is particularly eye-catching, materials made from titanium and stainless steel are used, and the end cap is made from carbon fiber. It is intended to produce a deeper and sportier sound and ensure a significant weight reduction of up to 42%.

The tank bag for the Pan America

Especially on long tours, you don't want to be without a tank bag despite having a suitcase. Many things can be stored here for the journey, whether it's drinks, coins/cards for toll booths abroad where you need to get money quickly, or to take a look at the conventional map. There is always something that should be within easy reach.

There is a rain cover for the tank bag, the interior is orange, so you can still see something in poor lighting conditions. The dividers and the carrying handle are also practical, so everything doesn't get mixed up when you take the tank bag down after the tour.

On long tours I like to use a tank bag to store all the important things that need to be quickly accessed in the tent or accommodation.

 

Pan America underrun protection

Complete off-road protection for the Pan America's substructure. Not only does it protect against stones or impacts, but it also looks good. The design of the underguard plate brings even more lines to the Harley-Davidson adventure bike.

Pan America lamp grilles, crash bars and case holders

We'll have to wait and see whether the lamp grilles are approved for the Pan America, otherwise they can always be used for racing purposes. When you build something in front of the headlights, things aren't always that easy, we'll see, at least it looks cool.

It continues with grille protection for the radiator and additional crash bars.

The travelers among us will need the luggage carrier. There are aluminum cases and bags in the Pan America accessories range. The performance data already shows us that the suitcases and bags have to be firmly attached in order not to cause any surprises when driving quickly and so that driving stability is not impaired.

The Pan America spoke rims and Michelin tires

The Harley-Davidson / Michelin Scorcher Adventure tire

Michelin is an original equipment manufacturer and has two tire models in its range. The Harley-Davidson / Michelin Scorcher Adventure tire in sizes 120/70R19 - at the front and 170/60R17 - at the rear is installed at the factory. Harley-Davidson tested this tire on the Pan America 1250 and Pan America 1250 Special models. The completely redesigned profile ensures optimal traction on and off-road.

The Michelin Bridge Block Technology and the Michelin 2CT+ Technology of the rear tire ensure optimal performance on the road. The Michelin Dual Compound Technology, in combination with the profile and the optimized contour, ensures excellent performance and a long service life.

New silica mixtures ensure excellent wet grip. I'm particularly excited when it's wet. That hasn't been the best discipline in the Scorcher series so far, but they have very good grip on dry roads. Let's wait until the first test drives have been completed.

 

MICHELIN® ANAKEE WILD OFF-ROAD TIRES

The Harley-Davidson Michelin Anakee Wild off-road tire

Knobby tires, which ensure maximum off-road capability thanks to their aggressive tread, have been put through their paces by Harley-Davidson on and off-road. The optimized tread depth and the new rubber compound make the tire more resistant to damage and more durable. The profile design is inspired by the Dakar winner MICHELIN Desert Race. These tires can be mounted on the standard cast light alloy wheels and on the wire spoke wheels. Note: Purchasing tires requires a digital tech update from your Harley-Davidson dealer

Pan America disc

The Pan America windshield is available in two versions

Harley-Davidson has two additional discs in its program for the Pan America. The discs are each 11cm lower than the series and do not affect the height adjustment. If you are a little smaller, it will be easier to see over the windshield.

The problem with tinted windows is that if you often drive at night, your visibility will be worse due to the tinted windows, especially in bad weather, but it's a visual advantage.
