The build you see here started off as a 1999 Electra Glide basket case. One man’s crappy and neglected barely-functional machine is another man’s cheap buy that can be rejuvenated into a sleek classic. That’s exactly what happened here. An admirer of Lee’s personal bagger, Wayne Berry wanted one for himself. The first thing to do was to strip off all the old damaged metal and...

     Everybody loves a Panhead. Harley’s revered icon of post-war production lead the company into a new future that still endures some seven-decades later. But, if you think a Panhead’s a Panhead like the lovely mill you see before you, you are wrong/not wrong at the same time. That lovely black Panhead engine is a true Panhead-style engine, it’s just that it’s not got a bit of...

            There are actually two bike shows, the Invited Builders Competition and the open show. The Invited Builders Competition at the Ray Price Motorsports Expo competition is made up of two classes: baggers and customs. The open show classes are based on what style of bikes entered.           First place in the Invited Builder Custom Class this year awarded to Adam Karns of...

     Too bad that we couldn’t contact the mystery owner who was probably out having some fun with his buddies while Jack roams around shooting photos of parked bikes as this is one sweet ride to use a cliché that’s been used a bazillion times before (Now make that a bazillion and one). Anyway, it looks like a recently finished custom from the absolutely pristine appearance. If not,...

    If it’s a custom Triumph from the pre-John Bloor years and it’s clean as a whistle, there’s a much better than average chance it came from Lucas Joyner of The Factory Metal Works (TFMW) in Salisbury, North Carolina. This is certainly not Lucas’ first rodeo on Barnett’s Magazine Online as we’ve featured him many times before including his lovely Nine O’Clock Gun Triumph custom...

      In case you’re not aware, The Garage At Ray Price (TGRP) is the custom division of Ray Price Harley-Davidson that knocks out a steady stream of beautiful and usable custom Harleys not only for loving owners of new bikes, but brings the used and abused back from the dead. Well, not necessarily dead, but definitely heading that way. The gorgeous flat tracker/street scrambler...

              As you will notice from the two days of bike photos taken during Myrtle Beach Bike Week, you will also see a whole bunch of baggers. The reason for this is that no matter where I go anymore, 75% of the bikes I see are baggers. It seems like in the last few years baggers have become the SUVs of the motorcycle industry. Everywhere you look there are stock baggers, big...

With this build I wanted a drag racing/hot rod style. So it was obvious to ask Håkan Johansson at MOON Sweden for help with parts because, let’s face it, what’s more associated with drag racing and hot rods than MOONEYES? Another person that I got a lot of help from is “Otto” from Biltwell Inc USA. The saddle, handlebar, risers, the gas cap, CV carb top and the footpegs came from...

  I always try to make sure that I feature the bikes and their components so that the viewer can maybe get an idea of something they might like on their personal ride.       Daytona Beach Bike Week has always been a great place to share with you dozens of custom creations for your viewing enjoyment. This year was no exception. There are so many bikes this year that we decided to do...

The Hide Motorcycle Company’s café racer called Glory is another example of this Japanese train of thought that you can catch a glimpse of barreling through the streets of Hidemo’s base of operations in Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture on YouTube. The video is no idling drive-by either, but a throttle-to-the-stop, gear after gear run by Hidemo’s owner, Hideya Togashi, who looks to be...
