Who it is recommended for
It is the right motorcycle if
- You want a maxi enduro with a strong character engine and 152 horsepower
- You take long trips, including with a passenger, on asphalt and easy gravel roads
- You often ride at night and want a complete plug and play lighting system
- You like the idea of a Harley different from the cruisers
- You have the Special and appreciate the automatic lowering when stopped
Look elsewhere if
- You are looking for a light motorcycle: the weight is noticeable during maneuvers
- You want dedicated aftermarket crash bars and luggage
- You ride demanding off-road terrain
- You are looking for low running costs
- You want the widest accessory catalog of all: the GS is still ahead
In two words: it is the American maxi enduro, exceptionally strong on lighting. If you are looking for a deeper catalog of protection and luggage accessories, the BMW R 1300 GS and KTM 1290 Super Adventure S are its direct rivals.

Frequently asked questions
Is a DENALI kit or the individual parts better?
The kit, if you're starting from scratch: auxiliary lights, mount, wiring, and control unit in a single order, and it costs less than the sum of the individual parts. The individual codes are for those who already have part of the system.
Kit with bracket or with clamps?
With the bracket, the auxiliary lights attach to the bike's mounting points; with the clamps, they attach to a bar, such as a crash bar that is already installed.
Do you have crash bars or luggage racks for the Pan America?
Not today. The catalog covers radiator protection, handguards, lighting, horns, and tank grips.
Are the accessories also suitable for the Pan America Special?
The codes are listed for the Pan America 1250: if you have the Special, write to us with the year and version and we'll check, especially for mounts and wiring.
