Harleys get more grunt for 2016

Harley-Davidson has announced updated versions of three of its Dark Custom motorcycles – the Iron 883, Forty-Eight, and Street 750. In addition, the American manufacturer’s new line-up will feature a broad range of performance and styling enhancements across the range. The company also announced the return of the Road King touring motorcycle.

Updates on the new Iron 883 include an all-new front suspension and an adjustable rear suspension, lighter mag wheels and improved seating. The Forty-Eight gets new mag wheels, a larger front end with 49mm forks, and a new adjustable rear suspension and seating. The new Street 750 model gets new front and rear braking systems.

Previously only seen on Harley-Davidson touring bikes, the High Output Twin Cam 103 engines will now be available on all Softail motorcycles – the Fat Boy, Heritage Softail Classic, and Breakout. The Heritage Softail Classic also receives refreshed styling for 2016.

All 2016 Sportster models are also set to get all-new front and rear suspension which pair emulsion coil-over shocks with new front cartridge forks, and new seats.
