I remembered seeing an Internet post or two about Led Sled’s Panhead rocker box covers for Sportsters, but that was about it. I didn’t bother to investigate them any further. Now after seeing them, I actually think they’re pretty cool and really look damn good on this bike Led Sled built for Progressive Insurance to trot about the country and drum up some business. I’m sure it...

            It’s not about shiny chrome, fancy paint jobs, or expensive customs. It’s all about whatever you can put together with two wheels, a motor, and a full tank of gas. Whether it started out as a Harley-Davidson, Yamaha, BSA, Triumph, etc., these garage-built old timers are a testament to the dedication and ingenuity put into giving these bikes another chance to tear up the...

   Randy just seems deliriously happy with life getting to do his art and have people pay and really appreciate what he does. When you get something from Randy Grubb, you’ll never ever see yourself coming down the road and you’ll never ever lose it in a parking lot unless the crowds gathered around it are too deep. If you want to find something different that you had no idea...

              Like I said previously, if you’re a fan of big wheel baggers this is definitely the show for you. You shouldn’t be surprised that we have some of the best builders in the Southeast exhibiting their incredible creations that are equal to or better than anything else out there. I don’t know how long this big wheel Harley bagger trend is going to last, but we might as...

     Just imagine this radical Road King without the bags and you’d have a pretty damn nice chop right there. All the elements of a modern day chopper are there with a lot more sophistication than what we think of when we think chopper, but it’s getting hard to really see the big friggin’ difference unless you’re comparing it to a real Old School chop. That’s the David Mann stuff...

   Even though Jack Cofano photographed this knockout at the recent Smoke Out, it just might look a bit familiar to you if you caught the fourth episode, Rust Belt Edition of Discovery Channel’s BikerLive. Pat and the Led Sled crew duked it out with Porky’s Chopper Co. and Raw Iron Choppers. Who won? I don’t particularly care as I’m not a huge fan of builder shows that don’t show...

    Flash forward five or six decades and what’s considered Old School today was no-school to me until the late ‘60s when real (and often half-ass) custom builds began to occasionally show up on the streets of the industrial town I lived in. If a fine-looking bobber like our feature bike ever passed through my town, it would have knocked me over seeing it go by. Instead of a...

  Case in point, Barnett’s Magazine Online’s feature trike originally came from Brigette Bourget’s shop, Bourget’s Bike Works in Phoenix, Arizona, before what I’m pretty sure was (and still is) the unfortunate closing of the shop. There are some definite Bourget trademarks in this build like the drop seat frame that holds its engine oil within the tubing and the Bourget look that...

     The new unitized-construction 30hp 750cc 4-cam side valve twin was a heavily revised version of the old WL 45 twin. It didn’t take long before it was stroked to 888cc and putting out a respectable 40 horses or so. There were both street and race models straight from the factory and the beautiful and famous KR road racers and dirt trackers raced and won against the Brits in the...

   Usually taking a walk on the wild side as far as custom baggers go involves some new crazy bodywork twist or an audio system that would drown out an F-22 Raptor on takeoff or it could be a completely mind blowing paintjob. All honorable things that a lot of honorable big wheel bagger fans can’t get enough. For Zach Johnson and Travis Hathcock of Kendall Johnson Customs in...
