Rear disc brake mount is on the the front side, wheel removal and fitting should be easier.
BHPian surjaonwheelz recently shared this with other enthusiasts.
Had a chance to check out the Harley X440 at a dealership:
The GD showroom was a busy place.
Revving the engine gives immediate feel of the bike’s character! Ergonomics are eased out with both feet down flat. The metal side panels touched the inner thighs with comfortable reach to the handle bars.
Need to feel it out on the open roads but a big downer is that they are planning test rides around the mall.
We suggested the sales team to organize events/camps for test rides out of town at least for 4-5 kms.
Some observations:
The bronze finish on the top S model and machined engine fins.
Diamond cut alloy wheels on the top 5 model.
Gear lever linkage & front sprocket cover, folks with OCD will be busy here!
Long rectangular swingarm.
Under-belly exhaust canister and mounts for center stand?
Rear sprocket with a square washer, doubling up as a guide to the chain tension adjusters. Provision for saree guard mounts is visible. Welding experts can comment here!

Brake lever, master cylinder cover in plastic!
We had to move aside from the bike as others were waiting to get on the bike. One more point is that the matt grey finish of the top S model was matching with the plastic parts on the bike!
Some common inspirations from other HD bikes present in the showroom,
Diamond cut alloys.
The tank design.
But the million CC question is, will H.O.G. accept this new breed of singles (cylinder)?
Happy riding,
