For instance, just when every bagger freak is discussing the merits (or demerits) of using a 30-inch front wheel along comes the new bigger, bolder, and badder 32-inch front wheel and a whole new discussion begins.      All of this mechanical blather is why something that would now be overlooked, but is still custom as hell to my mind could be considered a conservative custom in...

       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 and the possibilities of paint that lights up. Really lights up and I don’t mean maybe glow a bit if you get it in the right light. What looks like regular paint and in this case, a really nice funky...

       What Jermaine’s been up to for the past year is radically and I mean radically re-working his 2004 Harley-Davidson Road Glide into something else altogether. Doesn’t hurt that he has an in at one of the most prolific and crazy bagger builders, Back Yard Baggers in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, for help, advice and plain old work. First there was the cutting and re-welding...

       First off, the question should be, is this bike a bagger or an all-out custom bike with the silhouette of a bagger?  After checking out Jack Cofano’s photos, I’m going with the latter as this thing sets new standards for what custom baggers can be to me anyway. That’s not a bad thing. Nope, not a bit, but Richard’s bike he calls The Temptress has just become my point man of...

     So I assume you’ve checked out the photos and have fallen into one or two camps. The first camp only likes baggers that you can ride across country without having to stop more than you have fingers while the other campers just like wicked cool baggers of all shapes, sizes, and styles from stock to sick. Azzkikr’s version called Knuckle Dragger is possibly the sickest of the...

     If you hadn’t before, by now you’ve probably noticed that this bike named El Vendetta is not a Harley or even one of the many Motor Company clones. But, it is the closest thing to a Harley-Davidson ever produced by a company from The Land of the Rising Sun. Technically it’s a Star motorcycle I think, but we all know it’s really a Yamaha. I’m still having trouble referring to...

       Greg and his father, Chris Wingo, have been knocking out a wide range of custom bikes that span just about every segment and brand out there since 2005. There’s not much they don’t delve in as this video shows. Unknown Customs previously specialized in incredibly long swingarm, blinged out Hayabusas that would make any nutty-loo fast lad a bit hyper. Unknown’s transition to...

    Derek started out on this build with a rather nice 2006 Road King to begin with and the fun just went from there. After a tidy strip down to see exactly what he had, Derek got to work setting up the frame for the 26-inch wheel conversion he had in mind. After welding in a Pickard USA 9-degree replacement neck along with Pickard’s 9-degree triple trees, he was off and running to...

      I’m not a big wheel bagger freak by any means, but I’ll tell you why I just love this bagger and I hope it doesn’t sound insulting in any way; it really looks ready for the York assembly line. If Harley made a CVO Road King just like this, they’d sell a ton of them. It would have to be exactly like this, though, cause there’s just not anything I can see that needs fixing....

        Making a good, steady living out of this whacky business has been something Jerry has excelled at and he somehow always seems to have the skinny on what’s next to be hot. For instance, he jumped on the Harley bagger wagon at the very beginning and has never looked back. With a continuing flow of high-quality and unique bagger parts along with all-out bagger customs that...
