- Events at retailers and events

(Neu-Isenburg, 22.04.16) „Every customer can have their vehicle painted any color they want, as long as it's black“ - assembly line guru Henry Ford had his own principles. Even with Harley-Davidson counts „Vivid Black“ has been one of the most popular paint finishes for decades. However, there is a widespread misconception that the „Dark Custom“ model family from Milwaukee, USA, is characterized - nomen est omen - by this very „Vivid Black“ or a related shade of black. Rather, the truth is that these are machines that have been reduced to the essentials in classic chopper style: „Just leave out what you don't need to ride“ was the designers' maxim. And this explains the extensive omission of shiny chrome and superfluous ornamentation. The result exudes a gritty authority and a certain nonchalance - ideal for bikers who don't want to be constantly reaching for the cleaning cloth when their motorcycle has gotten wet.

To the „Dark Custom“-family includes characters as diverse as the brand new roadster, which Street 750, which Iron 883, which Forty-Eight, which Street Bob, which Street Bob Special, which Fat Bob and the Low Rider S. As different as their nature may be, they are very similar in one respect: each of them forms the ideal starting point for the customization - and hardly any other machine in the Harley model range makes it easier to realize your personal motorcycle dream.
