The Harley-Davidson Low Rider was a cruiser motorcycle, also known as the FXDL, part of the Dyna family of cruiser machines in H-D's range that debuted in 1977. The Dyna Family was known for its motorcycles with distinctive American styling and excellent performance.

In 2008, the American motorcycle manufacturer released the Harley-Davidson Low Rider, which remained essentially unchanged in the appearance department. However, the bike received several displacement increases in the power department, bringing additional power and torque.

The 2008 Harley-Davidson Low Rider came with standard features, such as a round headlight, a wide, pulled-back handlebar, a one-piece dual seat with a low riding position, a two-into-two exhaust system, and ten-spoke aluminum wheels.

The bike's suspension was handled by a 49 mm telescopic fork with a polished aluminum triple clamp on the front and dual side-mounted shock absorbers, offering a comfortable riding experience on several road surfaces.

In the braking department, the bike was fitted with a 300 mm disc and a four-piston caliper on the front wheel and a 292 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the rear wheel, delivering excellent stopping power.

As for power, the 2008 Harley-Davidson Low Rider took its muscles from a 1,584cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin fuel-injected engine that delivered smooth throttle response, fast acceleration, and 125 Nm (92 lb-ft) torque at 3,000 rpm.
