I’m sure most of you who love big wheel baggers could really care if there are saddlebags in the truest sense of the sword as long as there’s a semblance of them that you can relate to. Apparently Joey feels the same way as his ‘bags’ are really just bodywork as far as I can see and that’s more than okay on a bike whose prime mission is to be ogled and envied. Oh it probably...

     There’s a bit more to this tale besides the obvious Mexican non-sanctioned Catholic Santa Muerte-influenced graphics and that this bagger wasn’t always a bagger, but then custom bagger freaks probably don’t care anyway. It’s a radical custom bagger now with a tip of the hat to Saint Death and a look of its own. Built by Jason Burnham at his shop called humorously, but...

    Apparently Willie Ball had the same type of experience I had, but with totally different results. Why else would a guy cover his wildly (and expensively) customized Road King in screaming, evil clowns and other oddities from Captain Spaulding’s Freak Show? I can’t say I’ve ever been there, but it’s influenced Willie Ball enough to have his Curly’s Custom Cycles Road King...

    Kody and his talented crew consisting of Bryan Willis, Richard Urias, Gerald Baca, Ricardo Urias, Butch Satzinger, Dave Omelia, in-house painter Cory SaintClair, Gnarly, and pit crew boss, Kracker, have exploded onto the custom bagger scene from their home base in Phoenix, Arizona, with bike like our feature bike called Check Mate. There is one more individual involved and...

Maybe this isn’t your idea of what touring is all about and you’re probably right about taking the time to smell the roses and all that blather, but it sure gets my palms sweaty. I’m sure it’s possible to wick this bike down and sniff those flowers, but having Hoover Dam absolute power like this at the mere twist of a throttle would be too corrupting for me to ignore. Apparently...

    Yes sir, life must be unbelievably good for Rick, but he doesn’t just sit back on his laurels and think about peanuts or something like I would if I were in his position. Nope, he’s at it again with a tastily customized version of the back-in-the-line-up-one-more-time 2015 Harley-Davidson Road Glide. Yeah, you got that right ─ 2015. Rick must have rolled it out of the crate...

    Actually I’m not sure why the Odham’s refer to their bike as a 2014 Road Glide as anything Harley-branded is only in spirit from what I can see. The frame and swingarm are from Paughco’s extensive parts inventory and set the tone for a reasonable custom wheel and tire upgrade/change. A set of Renegade Wheels’ Cinci model in a 23-inch up front with a matching rotor mirrored by...

      Jason Beavers is a super talented guy with a sense of humor who is just trying to do what he loves best and frankly, he’s working his ass off doing it. Originally started in 2009 as a small, family run custom paint business where they also built their personal custom bikes, it quickly morphed into a one-stop, award winning custom motorcycle shop. Barnett’s Magazine Online...

No, this is not some theme bike ode to The Blues Brothers movie, but a bike that was originally born to an actual working life in a police department and later to change its career to sort of a runway model. “It started out as an ’07 police bike, an actual cop’s motorcycle with all the pursuit lights and all that,” said David Covington, son of company founders’ Jerry and Kathleen....

    Now, throw in some gorgeous girl graphics like the ones Tyler Coletta of Kaotic Designs in Rancho Cucamonga, California, did on his radically-re-imagined 2012 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Custom and you’ve got two of Jacko’s favorite things in one sleek package. Yup, a white custom bagger covered with women — that’s a sure fire way to make sure Jack does a photo shoot of your...
