MODEL OVERVIEW

XL 1200C
model overview
Dripping with attitude, the fat 1200 Custom motorcycle is the
ultimate wide-shouldered cruiser. With its beefy front end,
wide triple clamps, and big, fat tires on Chrome 5-Spoke
Cast Aluminum wheels, the 1200 Custom motorcycle
combines all the agility and kick of a Sportster
®
model with
the big, fat attitude of a custom cruiser. Sure, it’s a true
Harley-Davidson
®
Sportster
®
custom model to the core. But
this bike takes the family to a place that’s just a little fatter
and a little more custom.
Clean styling lines, chrome trim and eyebrow, and a stylized
LED taillight combine with a fat, strong stance to give
the 1200 Custom an “in-your-face” presence. The front-
end suspension and geometry work together to provide
truly balanced handling. And with the H-D1™ Factory
Customization process, customers can personalize their
1200 Custom with seat, handlebar, foot control, wheel,
security, paint, and engine finish options straight from
the factory.
The 1200 Custom motorcycle stakes an unyielding claim in
the segment we created and proves, once again, that no one
does fat custom like Harley-Davidson.

Harley-Davidson’s independent Anti-lock Braking System is designed to help
you maintain control during braking events, especially those that happen
in less than optimum conditions. Engineering and styling worked together
to make sure the system is not only designed and carefully tested to work
superbly, but that it is also engineered not to interfere with style. ABS is
available as an option on all 2014 Sportster
