Art Steele at All Star Baggers in Dallas, Texas, took a completely different route in building a lay frame bagger out of a 2012 Harley-Davidson Road Glide and not just by eliminating its trademark frame mounted fairing. According to Art, this is the first lay frame bagger with a bolt-on neck. Instead of the usual cutting and welding involved in making the fame suitable to run a...

   What? Paint? Huh? Yeah, I don’t blame you for thinking that, but it is. Whenever anybody has built a custom bagger we’ve featured over the years, it’s all about how eye-catching a paintjob someone has come up with. Honestly, that’s the way I feel about what makes a custom bagger a custom bagger. It’s the paint more than anything as everyone seems to have unceremoniously agreed...

  Just in case you missed the other Misfit Road King, here’s a link to that article so you can see how two bikes that started out exactly the same split off in different directions. Yes there were some similarities, but each one of these has its own design aesthetic. Both still share the DNA of a Road King albeit with a highly-modified genetic code and some artificial enhancement...

     Somehow the kinda big 26-inch front wheel doesn’t look so ginormous anymore compared to 30- and 32-inch wheels. Not only is the diameter smaller visually, but the necessary rake for a big wheel seems a lot less for a 26-incher. I dare say they almost look normal to me now in spite still being a hell of a lot larger than stock. As far as riding a show bike goes, the 26 looks so...

  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...

            Hey Mark Barnett – Your all-time Harley dream bike is ready!     Mark likes Harleys, high-performance (power, handling and braking) and custom looks in about that order along with a dash of civility, reliability and an extra serving of comfort thrown into the mix. For as long as I’ve known him, this lovely build by Oscar Peralta of AfterCycles in Queretaro, Mexico,...

     Maybe that’s why I’m so enamored of this seemingly mildly-customized 2013 Road King owned by one of our friends from the north, Guy Savard of Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec. There’s still a recognizable Motor Company profile even though the profile has been changed pretty radically from stock. It’s still totally rideable from the looks of things and riding still is what motorcycles...

   If anything makes me think of spring it’s a bike with an eye ball catching paintjob like this wild orange turbocharged Road King from Lance “Curly” Waugaman, owner of Curley’s Custom Cycles in Hobart, Indiana. Somehow crazy bright colors makes me think of warm weather for reasons I’ve never understood, but it’s gotten me through a bunch of long winters so I’m not questioning it....

     The sexy Road Glide custom by XBS Customs in Chesterfield, Virginia, is its own rolling rave on the road but with a lot more class than a bunch of crazed ravers could ever muster. XBS prides itself on not only creating tasteful, yet extreme baggers like this one,  but specialize in sound systems that are so far beyond my comprehension I’m almost embarrassed to admit it. Okay,...

   Our feature bike, a 2014 Street Glide customized to the tee is a perfect example of an efficient, yet still cool build from what BX Custom Designs has figured will tickle the fancy of some individual somewhere. So far, their tactic really seems to work. Even though all the expected cues of a well-built, high-content custom bagger have been checked off, it’s still a one-of-one –...
