Hard to believe, but this glamour bike was once a 2018 Street Bob ...
Brisbane Dealership Morgan & Wacker’s Paul Lewis says, “We are very proud of our latest custom creation and entry into the 2018 Battle of the Kings, the FXGT: Original Sin.”“Creating a cool custom bike isn’t about choosing aftermarket parts from the catalogue and the FXGT is the brainchild of Glenn Taylor, our customisation specialist.
To Glenn, the challenge involved creating a custom bike based almost entirely on OEM Harley-Davidson parts which was the foundation of the build. ‘The bike aims to give the impression of a factory finished machine that pays homage to the original ’71 FX Super Glide – a bike considered by many to be the first true custom offering produced by Harley-Davidson.”
Modifying an FXBB Street Bob into something unique began with improving the front-end stance.
