Yes, it’s striking enough to have garnered “Best of Show” at this year’s 2016 Daytona Rat’s Hole Show and you don’t get much more admiration that that. I don’t know how much the latest and greatest (as in Texas big) 32-inch front wheel entered into the winning equation, but it didn’t hurt. All Star’s 3D wheel is a pip of a design with some of the most graceful spokes you’ll ever see. Every curve of a spoke has a curve which also has a curve. There’s visual movement even at rest and a big ass wheel like a 32 only accentuates the feeling. With nary a brake piece or part in sight other than a hand lever that actuates the rear brake, there’s clear wheel viewing at any angle. 

The lack of serious braking is completely contradicted by the Harley Twin Cam engine that’s getting fuel mixture stuffed into it by a CMP Turbo kit. H-m-m, maybe there’s a lesson to be learned here, but I’m not quite sure what it is. Oh I get it, it takes Texas-sized gonads to ride this turbo’d beast and somehow that makes sense in a big way ─ the Texas way. All Star capped off this engine with a see-through intake and cam chest that makes the right side fell more of a cutaway design than a bunch of bits bolted together. I’m always a sucker for this stuff even though I’ve seen it many times, it doesn’t grow old for me.

   Some of the necessary and now standard custom features of any bagger worth its salt on the show circuit or the street are contained in this build like front and rear air ride suspension that allows this bike called appropriately Never Enough to drop to the ground at the touch of a button. No, not on an electric center stand, but on the frame on the ground. Like Chubby Checker sang in his 1962 hit, Limbo Rock, “How low can you go?” has just been answered. This bagger sits as absolutely low as you can go even with a giant front wheel. That’s low, man.

  Other than the bags, Never Enough is part of the steel is real campaign including the front spoiler. Everything is artfully designed and detailed and became the perfect platform for the killer paintjob by Steel Vision. I can’t begin to guess the hours and hours it must have taken to do all those layers of graphics on graphics, but I sure as hell know it’s more than a lot. And yet it all came out rather tasteful, even a bit subtle from 20-feet away, but get up close and there’s a whole world unto itself going on. Great paintjob.

   One finishing touch I especially appreciate, though, is the Cerakote finish on the wheels, engine, tranny, exhaust, handlebars and controls. This coating which was originally made for guns has a super-hard, satin finish that beautifully compliments the paintwork without fighting for attention. I don’t know a lot about Cerakote or its molecular structure, but it sure does look just fine and it’ll stay that way for years and years. Out of the many colors available just in Cerakote’s brown/tan finish (26 different shades), I’m going to guess All Star picked “Texas Tan.” Even if that’s not the correct one, that’s what I’m going with because it’s a Texas thing and I refuse to believe any Texas builder would use anything other than something labeled Texas Tan.
