Yahoo Autos 2022 Harley-Davidson Low Rider El Diablo is an ode to the '80s
Harley-Davidson is expanding its Icons Collection range with a Low Rider ST-based limited-edition model called El Diablo. Finished in an eye-catching shade of red, the bike is a tribute to the 1983 Harley-Davidson FXRT and inspired by the tuning scene that thrived in the 1980s.
Colorado-based Gunslinger Custom Paint helped Harley-Davidson give the El Diablo a head-turning design, and applying the paint is far more labor-intensive than it might sound. The company starts by spraying a base of El Diablo Red followed by a layer of Bright Red Sunglo. Painters then mask off the red pinstripes and apply El Diablo Dark Red and Dark Red Pearl accents around the panel shapes to add contrast. Finally, a layer of El Diablo Dark Red Metallic and hand-applied Pale Gold pinstripes bring a finishing touch to the custom look.
Beyond the paint, one of the El Diablo's standout features is a powerful sound system designed jointly by Harley-Davidson and Rockford Fosgate. It consists of two 5.25-inch subwoofers, two remote tweeters, a 250-watt amplifier, and Bluetooth connectivity. The list of the El Diablo's standard features also includes a six-inch-tall tinted windshield, a single LED headlight, locking saddle bags, and a one-person seat. And, Harley-Davidson added features that you'd expect to find in a car such as a USB charging port and a digital instrument cluster.
