Hello and welcome to the latest
Thundertalk with Julian and
Andreas. and the new Sportster S, a
really nice bike. with 1250ccm and 123HP power you
can ride it fast. The bike has a lot of torque and
can be accelerated great from
the lower speed range. Despite the wide front tire, the
bike has great road handling. the motorcycle moves very
lightly it has short spring travel, so
we don't have to think much
about lowering it, it's already
very compact and stocky as we
know it from the past
48. it fits very well as I find in
the Harley-Davidson concept, so
a kind of power muscle bike. so a kind drag style as with the
V-Rod what but here in my
opinion even more clearly
implemented and very well
integrated into the Harley-
Davidson series. The engine dynamics, everything
is just right. We also have the vehicle on site
as a test vehicle, so come by,
it's definitely worth it! Many of our customers are really
positively surprised how well
the bike rides. Reason enough for us fro
m
Thunderbike to tighten the whole
thing again with a few custom
parts. The most striking is certainly
the frontend, which we have
brought together again and make
it appear more masculine. Especially the milled holder
part which holds the still pre-
series screen. The screen will be available in
the future as plexiglass in
different variants. We have made the triple trees a
little fatter in superbike style
and refined by the recesses. Slightly stiffer than original
and with the bi-colo
r cut
deutlichlcih nobler than
original. What I also like is our new turn
signal solution. Previously we
had the turn signals under the
lever amateurs. I didn't like that though
because they never blended the
unit like the big twin models. and I am very happy with the
From and because it is very easy
to assemble. They are almost not noticeable
there, and look damn good when
they flash. Super bright and easy to see in
road traffic. We have also developed a mirror
mount alternative that
takes the
mirror away from the handlebar
end and mounts it next to the
grip. It can be mounted above
and below. We have made new matching
handles that end with a cap, but
can also be used with the
conventional mirrors. It is reminiscent of the old 48
models, the spieglt is simply
less in focus this way. This reduced design as well as
the turn signals make such a
custom bike. A few nice parts can still be
found on this page, like the
cooling shrouds which are now milled aluminum
part
s and not wei before from
not so nice plastic. which are now milled aluminum
parts and not wei before from
not so nice plastic.We have
designed a new footrest system, also in bi-color design like the
grips. a beautiful new look and more
lean angle. The new lid series has also
become very interesting We have provided the lids with a
line milling which creates a 3-
dimensional effect. You have to take a closer look,
very classy and very cool. Otherwise, we have blacked out
the entire engin
e once. This makes the whole
concept seem much more
harmonious. Then we could look at the other
side. So now we have the bike times
rotated. Here, too, you can clearly see
the difference to the series and
that we have been extremely busy
with the surfaces. All painted in matte black and
powder coated. The equalization of this area
from a lot of plastic and also
here the changed water cooler
cover. 2 massive parts in the oroginal,
also the belt guard reduces
the optics to a minimum. You
see more of the technology
and it looks cool. The whole side has become really
coherent now, as well as the lid
here. The adjuster for the spring
preload also looks good. or also the short license plate
holder. a very successful concept also
thanks to ingo kruse's paint
work. i'm also a big fan of glossy and
matte paint. Ingo Kruse has done a great job
in which he has oriented himself
to the original design. the original design in
combination with the black
painted dashboard looks very
high quality. the whole motorcycle gets
thereby once again a visual
upgrade. The golden color of the
lettering is also found in the
rims. the gold also brings out the
interesting rim design, which is
somewhat lost in the original
black. brings more sportiness into the
game thanks to the lettering on
the rim. i would say the sportser s has
arrived at our custom forge. we will certainly in the future
again the one or the other bike
rebuild and maybe again
something hotter! yes but this
one is already very
hot! what I like is that the
character of the base bike is
preserved. this can be seen particularly
well at the beginning. close to the oroiginal but just
improved. take the ideas and
specifications made by the
designers of harley-Davidson and
carry them forwards. some ideas cannot be implemented
in the series and then we come
into play. we have the sportster s here,
feel free to contact us for test
drives, you will be thrilled. we are also happy to advise you
for c
onversion measures. then until next time, thank you
and goodbye.
