S&S Harley-Davidson Dyna Low Rider

In honor of the Legends Ride 10th anniversary, S&S has tweaked a 2017 Harley-Davidson Dyna Low Rider into a sleek club-style chopper powered by a T143 Black Edition engine packing 143 cubic inches of 165 to 170 horsepower to the wheel. Harnessing that extra horsepower required S&S to upgrade the transmission, clutch and primary work.

The blue and white striped paint job that finishes off this muscle machine pays homage to the Shelby Cobra.
