BUILDING MUSCLE. Cohn Racer?s Tough Harley XR1200X Scrambler

After working behind closed doors for over a year on the designs of their first bikes, they finally had them at a point where they were confident they could make a bit of a splash. And splash they did.
Starting life as a Harley XR1200X, which in the grand scheme of things is a pretty cool Harley to begin with, JP had bigger plans for the donor. ?This will be a limited run of 10 bikes which we are calling the Muscle Rs.? This one, in case you were wondering, is number two. ?These are not easy bikes to find,? laments John....
