No surprise then that old Jacko loves his white baggers even with all the multi-colored, multi-themed, airbrushed-to-a-fare-thee-well custom baggers he runs into at every show. Personally, I’d think after a while you’d be just looking for the wildest and most colorful paintjob on a bagger, but not Jack. It seems like any individual shot of a bike he just photographed he...

  Just like a lot of other people who’ve seen this bike, according to Dave, at first glance I thought it was just another Road King until I noticed the telltale Softail oil tank. I guess we’re just assuming any hard bagger is a rubber-mount model, but this twist is a nice change from the norm. “Everybody thinks it’s a Road King,” said Dave laughing. “I did put bags from a Road King...

    Art bikes? How do you know when you see an “art” bike? You just know in a heartbeat. Just like the late Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart’s famous answer when asked what test he used to define something as hard-core pornography, he simply said, “I know it when I see it.”  Now obviously I’m not trying to equate the stunning art bike Flathead built by Dalton Walker of Split...

      Obviously he had every intention of building what was rolling around in his head and the only way he could accomplish this was to fabricate each and every piece you see before you other than the engine and transmission. There is a touch of board track inspiration, but there’s nothing wrong with that. Who doesn’t appreciate a motorcycle in its most elemental form of two wheels...

They rode the loop on route 375 over Transmountain Road crossing the Franklin Mountains, had a steak dinner and then returned to the Sun City Bike Fest party back at the Harley store.

     The bike was at Corbin’s to be re-seated as a larger battery was fitted to start the big 125-inch RevTech motor. A bigger battery meant the seat had to be customized to fit over battery. But that wasn’t all that had changed. The oil tank has been relocated under the tranny. The long cylinder attached to the front lower frame is the electric fuel pump to feed the...

   Most of the bikes you will see will be featured in Barnett’s Magazine Online throughout the year with plenty of shots of each bike and their components. Feel free to zoom in on the photos and you can see close up what it takes to create a one of a kind metal masterpiece.    Creating something new and unique, whether it be music, fashion, electronics or custom motorcycles, takes...

  So how did a wild creation like Finicky come about in the first place? Probably best to let Ron tell it in his own words: “I’ve always liked fins like when I was a hot rodder. I liked fins on my valve covers and fins here and fins there. I built a truck with fins on it, but I never have done a bike that had fins everywhere.” Well Ron, you can now take that off of the list of...

      Brandon Holstein, a partner at The Speed Merchant and owner of Brawny Built was one of the lucky recipients. In his case, he got a Street 750 engine and not the rest of the bike because that was about as much of the original bike as he needed for the race bike build he had in mind. This may not be your usual show bike as it was built within the strict rules of AMA flat track...

     Hopefully by now you’ve already watched the Cycle Source Magazine’s excellent video on Zack and got the gist of who and where this kid’s at. It’s all good and, by the way, in the big scheme of things, being in his mid-twenties, he is a kid. An extremely talented, humble, and hard working kid who makes his dad, Scott, and his mother, Kimberly, proud as a pair of those...
