Post Sundance QuickSilver XR1200


Sundance is one of the lesser-known Japanese custom motorcycle builders. The company focuses on performance as much as looks, with a range of high-tech, go-fast goodies designed to eke more horsepower out of stock Harleys. Sundance’s custom bikes usually have the ‘go’ to match the ‘show’, and their latest machine is a beauty. It’s based on a Harley-Davidson XR1200, heavily modified with a multitude of bespoke parts—including that custom tank and the gorgeous tailpiece. The stock Harley XR1200 performs reasonably well, with around 90hp going to the back wheel, but Sundance has tuned the engine of ‘QuickSilver’ to produce considerably more.


Everything except the bottom end is thoroughly tweaked: there are new pistons, cams and heads, with S&S connecting rods helping to keep things together. Carburetion is Keihin FCR, modified to Sundance specs, and the exhaust is a custom Sundance item too. I’m guessing that output is now closer to 120hp, which explains the Barnett clutch fitted to handle the extra power. A custom swingarm keeps the back wheel planted and the stock forks have been replaced with gold-finished ?hlins items. The wheels are equally high-spec models from Dymag.

Harley-Davidson seems to be heading in the right direction now with its styling and marketing; it would do well to take a cue from companies like Sundance, and start working on the performance and handling of its bikes.
