The custom division of UK based Shaw Harley-Davidson created another special Sportster model. The XLST3 is based on a 2011 XL1200N Sportster Nightster and was inspired by the look of the 70’s Dirt Trackers. The bike features an in-house built exhaust system, chain drive, titanium nitrided forks, Öhlins shocks, progressive springs and XL883 fork lowers. Performance Machine brake system is hooked up to Roland Sands Design Black Ops 13” brake rotors, and the gas tank comes from RSD, too.
This Sportster Tracker won 1st place at the London International Custom Bike Show AMD Championship event, and in January 2011 2nd place of the AMD International Class in Verona. If you’re in the States, there’s a good chance you’ll see this bike at this year’s Sturgis. According to Shaw’s Steve Willis, „We’re aiming to get into the AMD World Championship final again this year, to defend the title that we won in 2010 with the bike Strike True II.”
