2014 HARLEY-DAVIDSON LOW RIDER

摘要

The original 1977 Low Rider was a slammed and sparkling success, and to this day it is remembered as one of The Motor Company's most iconic models. So there were more than a few disappointed people when the bike left the lineup five years ago. The Low Rider is back, and the seat height is just 26.8 inches. But in an effort to attract a wide variety of riders to this lower-cost Big Twin, Harley engineers thought beyond simple feet- on-the-ground confidence and addressed the entire ergonomic triangle. Computer modeling and lots of live testing were used to devise a system of adjustments, the simplest of which is the seat's removable lumbar extender. A 1.5-inch-thick bolster makes a huge difference. But the real action is in the easily adjustable pivoting handlebar riser that provides 2.4 inches of movement fore and aft. Lastly, footpegs have been relocated 2 inches forward of typical Dyna mounts. Aim for all this?
