Greet the Street

-

The all-new Street, part of Harley-Davidson’s new Dark Custom range, is the first all-new platform from the iconic US manufactur­er in 14 years. On November 1st and 2nd, over 4,000 visitors to Oil Stained Brain in Collingwoo­d, Melbourne – which celebrates Australia’s best custom motorcycle builds – had a sneak preview of a special one-off version created by the event host, Kustom Kommune. Director of Marketing for Harley-Davidson Australia and New Zealand, Adam Wright said: “We wanted to give fans and like-minded riders a preview of what Australia can expect from this exciting new model; we provided Kustom Kommune with a blank canvas and asked the team to let their imaginatio­n run wild. The result spectacula­rly demonstrat­es what an exciting platform the Street will offer when it officially roars into Australia and New Zealand. The special Street features a handmade alloy tank with artwork by BDS Designs, a custom swing arm with twin cantilever style suspension, and a modified frame. It has 19-inch wheels front and rear, a special front end with twin discs and “drag style” handlebars. The official release for the Street range has yet to be fixed.
