Most of the parts you see on Rick’s über-custom 2013 H-D Road King called Dirty Thirty (for reasons that are unknown to me as you can see it’s a clean and classy ride) are manufactured right in Rick’s custom shop inside his spotless Baden-Baden, Germany, Harley dealership. Talk about a one-stop shopping experience for those with the financial wherewithal. You could order the...

      Now there’s a hell of a CamTech big wheel bagger here, but I’m going to focus on the Lumilor paint by Darkside Scientific first as I’m still trying to wrap my head around this development of electricity and paint as one. And, I don’t mean maybe glowing a bit if you hit the right light either. It really lights up! This really funky graffiti-style paintjob by CamTech Custom...

   Now that doesn’t mean I just clump all custom baggers in one group and give them all leeway to accept whatever they’ve done. I’m not that nice or politically correct. Like any custom including the ones that are near and dear to me, some are just a lot better than others and that’s exactly the case with this big wheel bastard of a radical bagger you’re looking at. First and...

      Built by Vindictive Wayz of Rutherfordton, North Carolina, it’s a beautifully re-made 2002 Harley-Davidson Road King if big wheel baggers are your thing or even if they merely interest you to see how outrageous they can be. This one’s had every bit replaced or re-worked into something it wasn’t to begin with including the OEM frame and engine.     The FLHR frame got the old...

First thing I do when I (finally) get up in the morning is to pick out my writing bathrobe of the day and immediately pour myself a cup of black (as-strong-as-I-can-make-it) French Roast and head over to the computer to check my email to see what Internet havoc went on during my personal slumber party. Most of it is plainly carp, but every now and then, some little gem like the...

     To try and remedy this unbelievably terrible shot to your ego, you roll into your local Harley dealer and start loading it up with more chrome bits and then some more. But, other than a few people noticing the changes, you’re still rolling around and looking good as far as you’re concerned, but what happened to all the compliments and constant admiration you got used to that’s...

      And, just like him, they are seemingly destined for a long time at the top of the custom world anyway. Big wheel baggers were a phenomenon that I, along with many others, thought would have a short life span like the king himself, but it was the wrong conclusion. Custom big wheel baggers don’t seem to have a sell-by date anytime soon by the looks of how many baggers Barnett’s...

   Actually this bike was built with no idea of St. Patrick’s Day, but a direct hit to the custom bagger crowd fitting for your attention. You don’t really get much more show bike than this lovely number that’s fittingly named Over Kill because that‘s exactly what it is and it’s not ashamed to admit to it. If there’s a custom trend out there to exploit, the crew at Cycle Worx in...

    Here we present you with a custom bagger that might just win a few of the haters of custom baggers over although there will always be something to complain about whether it’s the paint or the model chosen to name just two obvious ones. Our über talented veteran (Navy) lens man and senior rally editor, the always smiling Jack Cofano, captured this late model Harley Street Glide...

  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...
