Sixty North America Harley dealers fought out hard to get a Harley accolade and the bragging rights of being 2016 Harley North America “King Of Customs” Hal’s Harley-Davidson of New Berlin, Wisconsin under the lead of Bud Curtis is the chosen winner with this Sportster 883 Super Low. Named “General Mayhem” it’s a modern day dual-sport bike that can conquer city streets and rural roads alike. “Our vision was a modern day dual-sport bike with an edgy, minimalist look that would appeal to millennials, hooligan riders or the young at heart,” said Bud Curtis, team lead at Hal’s Harley-Davidson. “We are proud to have built the General Mayhem, our take on a Sportster that we hope can be enjoyed by the masses.”
It features a dual headlight to provide protection in a rugged environment, a 1200cc engine conversion with tuned exhaust to optimize performance, a fabricated tank with padded inserts that allows the rider to connect with the road, a chain conversion, a custom mini fairing, taller wheels and many genuine black H-D aftermarket parts.
In addition to a shiny trophy and bragging rights, Hal’s Harley-Davidson will receive an all-expense paid trip with a VIP tour of Harley-Davidson’s Corporate Headquarters, dinner at MOTOR® Bar & Restaurant and a VIP tour of the Harley-Davidson Museum® to see their winning motorcycle on display during the Custom Bike Show/Milwaukee Rally this September. The General Mayhem will remain on display in the Harley-Davidson Museum® through November 1, 2016.

Good, but I saw better from some of the competitors.
I like it,
think it’s great ! Is it me or with the knee pads on the tank and some of the other aspects it looks slightly British. Quite unusual but it has allot of class
Like it too. Will attract youngsters?
I like it. Make the front fender a hair bigger to match the tire size, though, and balance the rear one.
Hello from France
Pleased to see Euro style in USA.
Never understood why Harley can’t build a Sporster with inverted fork, 17″ Alu Wheels, strong dual disk brake and engaged riding position.
I like this bike also, except the chain, belt is so much better, I don’t understand this conversion.
I’m with Greeko
I dig it. I would ride it.
Congrats to my friends Kirk, Bud and the whole gang at Hal’s! It is great to see such work still coming out of the dealership I once called home.
Congrats to Hal’s
Not a fan of Sporty’s & this one does not grab me
like most of their other stuff does
