Absolutely not so with Kenji’s bike as everything has been fabricated with reason and then taken to a different place altogether with a slightly beyond superb detailing that frankly goes beyond my comprehension, but not my attention. Kenji’s Harley Softail is an attention getter if there ever was one and to capture my ADD riddled brain after a first peek says a lot. Actually,...

      Then, the very next thing that shot through what gray matter I still have was, “Man, would I like to ride that bike. That looks like fun.” Those are probably two of the things I require to start my slide into un-embarrassingly declaring my motorcycle lust for this sassy Shovelhead. There, I’ve said it and it’s out of the way.       By now, if you’re still hanging in there,...

    Torsten Sasse is the main man behind the Fischbach, Germany-based custom motorcycle shop called Sasse van Essen Custombikes. Even though this custom Harley Softail was built about five-years ago, needless to say it’s still a relevant custom today. Matter of fact, if I didn’t mention when it was built probably nobody would know from the finished product which still looks fresh...

   Rick took a new 2014 Forty-Eight and roughly a month of time in his shop to make a whole new breed of adventure bike that looks like a real motorcycle and not some plastic-laden bike designed by Dr. Seuss that can do a little bit of everything like most production dual-sport bikes. Without trying to sound totally juvenile, this bike makes me want to jump on and find the nearest...

     Whether you would do the same work to your XL is not what this article is about, but you gotta appreciate the fact that Travis made sure no matter what he changed out or modified, he could still get out there and ride the hell out of it on the street. I hate to say it as it’s so overused, but that’s the true definition of Old School even if this bike definitely isn’t Old...

     Now don’t get all hissy if these are a bit to much for your budget. You can dream can’t you? In the following days we will cover the rest of the Harley lineup where there’s sure to be something that hits you where you live and fits your budget too. Enjoy the CVOs and be sure to check in over the next few days to see the whole lineup broken down by models. 2015 CVO Street...

     Funny how when you break it down about what a builder/rider builds for them to ride, it’s not some overdone cliché of every ridiculous trend every customer thinks they want in their build. As one builder well known for 360mm rear tire bikes with giant cube paint-shaker engines when they were hip beyond hip told me when I asked him what bike of his he liked riding, he told me...

      When I look at a bike and the very first thing that comes to mind is, “What the hell were they thinking?” I have to imagine their trade-in allowance must have been pretty low or maybe the dealer had extremely bad taste too. I know there’s supposedly “an ass for every seat” as the old used car saying goes, but you don’t want to be one to broadcast that you’re that ass every...

    With a head this big, hats are out of the question because even if I can actually stretch them around my skull, it only makes my head look even bigger and that’s not a look I’m going for. If I was going to attempt to wear a doo-rag, I’d probably have to head to Bed & Bath to find something to fit. But, finally, a couple of bros, Sean and Zane Culleton of W.T. Customs and...

     Ah yes, style. Welcome to the Harley world where it’s so about style that no one even has to mention it or explain it. It just is, in a manner of speaking, what it’s all about and everyone tries to showcase their own style in their own way ─ good, bad or indifferent. Think a bike’s ugly? There will be ten people ahead of you who think it’s beautiful. Think a bike’s beautiful?...
