Classic

The first thing that jumps out is the Penske 8900 series shock.  We worked closely with Penske’s engineering department to provide the best shock for a variety of riding styles and feels.  From a racing background where versatility is a must, Penske offers several models to meet every riders need.  The PS-8900 is a single adjustable, low cost, entry level shock; while the PS-8970 comes directly from Formula One and separates high and low speed compression adjustment like no other shocks on the market.

Sometimes what is not seen is more important than what is.  The 1 inch diameter steering stem is cut from 17-4 precipitation hardened stainless steel.  This is the toughest stainless steel available.  Not only is it tough, but received considerable attention in the design process.  Great care was taken to ensure that all of the turning torque from the handle bars was transmitted through the steering stem and not through the suspension.  This was accomplished by splining the steering stem shaft where it passes through the upper “triple tree”.  For the lower end, a ¾” shaft is threaded into each side of the “lower tree” and pins into the steering stem.

Keeping with the Perse commitment to produce a safe product that looks as well as it performs, the axle is another point of design attention.  Like the steering stem, the axle is cut from the hardest stainless available.  Not stopping there, it has left hand threads and is secured by a set screw to prevent unintentional back out.  

If you take a close look at the design you will find similarities too many older bicycle front ends.  Designer Juston Rouse has a love for the classic mechanical styling of these older pieces of art which inspired Perse Performance's New School Vintage line.  We introduce to you the first front end in this line, "Classic."  It can be built to suit any frame configuration, as well as a complete bolt on kit for all HD Sportster models. This front end is available in polished stainless steel as well as standard DOM tubing with a powder coated finish.
