MARRAJO

HARLEY-DAVIDSON

The donor bike was super tight, with only 10k miles, so the power plant didn’t need any work and runs like an angry shark.

Special 1998 Harley Davidson 1200

Marrajo (Mako Shark in Spanish) is an entry level El Solitario Special, based on a 1998 HD Sportster 1200 Custom. The idea was to build an El Solitario Chupito, but suitable for longer distance cruising. Reliability was the main concern. To be 100% road legal and being able to carry a passenger was also top on the list. With these premises in mind we decided that a big Sportster matched the job description. The donor bike was super tight, with only 10k miles, so the power plant didn’t need any work and runs like an angry shark.
