Seeing something like this you know there’s a bit of a back story to it and it’s a good one. Originally built for a guy known only as Rick, it incorporated most of the stuff you see right here, but it had one major change and it was a worthwhile change as far as I’m concerned. Go ahead and guess what it is if you haven’t already. Here’s a hint, it’s probably the most important...

   What I’m blathering on about here is that a lot of people are always knocking custom baggers because they feel they’re un-rideable with all the bagger custom tricks in full force. Especially when the front wheel sprouts out to the 30-inch and above range, but that’s not the case here as you can clearly see. This is one rad bagger that still keeps its street worthy credentials by...

   Maybe it wouldn’t hurt to take the same approach to these outrageous big wheel baggers and appreciate them for what they are and the enjoyment they bring their owners. Like a lead sled, these are not my first choice of motorcycle I’d own, but I sure love looking at them and appreciating the hard work that goes into making a 2017 custom bagger today. Hey, I don’t want to own a...

   But, just like any person he sells a house to, Kirk has to put his own stamp on it to make it his. And, like some people he sells a house too, Kirk decided to completely renovate the Road Glide until it went from a nice move-in ready home to a mansion of itself with no stones left unturned. Instead of having to find an architect, contractor and crew, he simply turned to Joey...

   That’s exactly the case here with this Cobra-lust Road Glide built by Donn Ogilvie and Mike Campbell, co-owners of Evil Iron Customs in Pickerington, Ohio. What started out as a stock 2012 Road Glide Custom ended up taking a sharp turn to customville with no return trip planned until it was tweaked out from end to end. Pretty much what Shelby did when he turned a six-cylinder AC...

    You can’t imagine how relieved I felt after checking out our feature bike and found that this super sharp Road Glide custom built by Jason Geter of Absolute Custom Cycles in Denver, North Carolina, is named Kandy Kane. Yeah baby, that’s a Christmas candy of dubious deliciousness too and it has pretty much the same glossy finish, but not the variety of colors. Since this bike is...

    First and foremost, everything you see that’s orange is steel. Not steel and fiberglass, just real steel. I’m easily bowled over by the rare custom bagger builder that struts his stuff armed with sheet metal and a welder. Not the easiest approach by any means and it’s probably hard for a lot of people to comprehend the time and effort that goes into making a bike like this a...

   So, yes, it’s not an actual York-made Road King, more like a Dr. Frankenstein moment that turned out well. You see, this Road King started life back in 1999 as Harley’s tweener touring bike, the Electra Glide Ultra Classic. Taking a quick look, one would never suspect and after taking a long look, you still wouldn’t. The bat wing fairing and all its electrics are history along...

   And that’s not even taking into account any of the other sensory modalities like balance, pain, temperature, vibration and proprioception (the sense of the relative position of neighboring parts of the body and strength of effort being employed in movement). In other words, this bike is a full frontal assault on everything that makes you who you are. Just don’t take any of this...

    This distinctively blue bagger comes from the talented duo of Sean Belitsos and Matt Marakis, owners of TOL Designs in Henderson, Nevada, the same town where legendary FXR owner Penny French Osiecki lives. TOL Designs has been knocking out a steady stream of custom baggers that have a grace all their own while they’ve supplied other builders with an extensive line of bagger...
