APC’s new ‘08 Hustler
07/05/2008 by info.
American Performance Cycles (APC) has added an additional bike to its 2008 model line-up.
The Hustler is a drop-seat cruiser FLH style Softail. The frame features 34 degrees rake in the neck and 3 degrees in the trees giving a total rake of 37 degrees. This is combined with a 3in stretch to create a 93in wheelbase.
Motive power for the Hustler comes from a 96ci black and chrome S&S engine fitted with an S&S Super E carb and Santee 50 CAL exhausts. This is backed by a Baker six-speed/RSD and billet closed primary. Wheels are forged one-piece billet by Forge-Tec or 80-spoke wheels. The rear 18in wheel carries a 240-section tire.
In addition the company has revealed plans to launch a lowered and stretched bagger model which will roll on either a 280 or 300 section rear tire. This as yet un-named bike will go on sale in the summer.
