Introducing H-D1 Factory Customization
H-D1 Factory Customization is the newest element of Harley-Davidson customization that allows Customers to build the 1200 Custom motorcycle from a selection of options, which are then installed as the motorcycle is assembled by Harley-Davidson Motor Company in Kansas City. H-D1 Factory Customization enables personalized fit, function, and style. By selecting different wheels, seats, handlebars, paint, and engine finishes, the Customer can dramatically alter the look of the motorcycle. Different combinations of foot control location, seat and handlebars can be selected to adjust the fit of the motorcycle to a rider’s stature. With H-D1 Factory Customization the Customer will have the opportunity to order a 1200 Custom motorcycle in more than 2,600 combinations.

The H-D1 Factory Customization tool will be available online at www.harleycanada.com/hd1bikebuilder. The Customer can view the bike they are creating as different options are selected. The Customer can then print out a description of their bike and bring it to a Harley-Davidson Retailer to review the motorcycle with trained staff, select additional accessories to be installed by the Retailer to further customize the motorcycle, and then place an order. Customers can expect to be riding their new bike in as little as six to eight weeks from the time an order is placed with an authorized Harley-Davidson Retailer. Delivery timing may vary depending on demand, and will be communicated to Customers at the time of the order. H-D1 Factory Customization will be available only through Harley-Davidson Retailers in the United States and Canada.
