New Evidence Hints At The Arrival Of Harley-Davidson Pan America 975

Reports of a middleweight version of the Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 first emerged earlier this year, with the American firm mistakenly mentioning the model name in its list of accessories.

  • Harley-Davidson to add a new Pan America 975 to its Revolution Max portfolio.
  • The middleweight Pan America will powered by the same engine found in the Nightster.

According to reports, the site listed the fuel cap as being compatible with the RA1250/RA1250S (Pan America 1250/1250S) as well as RA975 and RA975S, with the latter assuming to be the Pan America models powered by the Revolution Max 975cc engine like the one found on the Nightster.

However, the latest evidence obtained by none other than Dennis Chung over at Motorcycle.com further strengthens the rumours of a middleweight Pan America 975.

This time, the proof comes in the form of an official installation instruction for a pair of side mirrors designed specifically for the Revolution Max motorcycles.

Frankly, no one can find this evidence other than Dennis, as it involved not one but nine installation instructions from Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Slovenia and Ukraine.

In addition, he also includes there service bulletins from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to back his reports. 

Although the service bulletin referred to the Pan America 975 as a 2022 model year – we assumed that Harley’s initial plan was to introduce the new model this year – but due to the ongoing supply chain issue, it is likely that the plan is postponed to 2023.

One way or another, the Pan America 975 is on its way, and we are looking forward to it.
