Harley Davidson History Sturgis Low Rider

Our first bike is the Sturgis FXB Low Rider. It wasn't exactly new in 1981; in fact, it was introduced in '80 as a nod to the annual Black Hills rally. More than 6,845 of these bikes were made between 1980 and '82, but what separates the '81 from its predecessor is the use of Buckhorn bars and the absence of the old AMF logo. And speaking of AMF, the banner you see in the background here is a replica of the one Harley had on hand during the transfer of power in 1981.
