Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight (XL1200X) – Custom | Low Use | Immaculate
Regretful sale of my Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight, a head-turning custom cruiser that’s been meticulously maintained and tastefully upgraded.
This bike is in excellent condition and presents beautifully. It’s been regularly serviced and well looked after its entire life. Since November 2024, it has only travelled approx. 400km, so it’s barely been ridden and is ready for its next owner to enjoy.
Key Features & Customisation:
* Custom ape hanger handlebars for that classic aggressive stance
* Vance & Hines Stage 2 tune
* Upgraded exhaust system with a deep Harley note
* Custom air intake
* Sissy bar with passenger pad
* White wall tyres for a clean retro look
* Aftermarket headlight with grill
* Solo Spring Saddle seat setup + pillion option
* Blacked-out styling throughout
* Tank Lift
* Under mount mirror’s
* Slim LED rear tail lights
The bike rides exactly how it should—strong, reliable, and smooth. Starts first time, every time.
Perfect for someone chasing a standout Harley with character, without having to spend the money on mods themselves.
Additional Info:
* Always maintained and cared for
* Low recent usage (only ~400km since Nov 2024)
* No issues, ready to ride
If you’re after a clean, customised Forty-Eight that gets attention everywhere it goes, this is it.
Inspections welcome. Serious buyers only.
