Mark has been at this custom motorcycle thing professionally since opening his shop back in 1995 and he hasn’t toned down his unbridled love for the radically outrageous even though he’s not a one-trick pony. You want a bobber, bagger, or work done on your Harley? Thunder Struck will do it and do it well whether it’s mechanical or cosmetic. But, if you’re looking for...

     And that rather leads us to Barnett Magazine Online’s feature bike built by Stephen Galvin and the crew at Wikked Steel in St. Petersburg, Florida. This apparition in black just happens to answer that nagging question “. . . what do you do with it now?” When Jack Cofano shot this Batman theme bike at a show it was paired up with another recent Barnett’s feature bike by Wikked...

  So how did a wild creation like Finicky come about in the first place? Probably best to let Ron tell it in his own words: “I’ve always liked fins like when I was a hot rodder. I liked fins on my valve covers and fins here and fins there. I built a truck with fins on it, but I never have done a bike that had fins everywhere.” Well Ron, you can now take that off of the list of...

      Igor Akrapovic, obviously the head of the company bearing his name, decided to let the American V-twin world know there was a new kid in exhaust town. He did what any respectable aftermarket manufacturer would do and commissioned fellow Slovene, Tomaz “Capo” Capuder of Dreamachine Motorcycles, to build a futuristic custom that incorporated the carbon fiber, titanium, and...

    I never really got the early digger style and that probably had a lot to do with growing up in New England where riding a bike like this would have been a bit tough on twisty, pot-holed roads. Hey, for more years than I’d care to admit, I only owned a motorcycle for transportation year round. I can’t say I didn’t look at magazine photos of them, but I also can’t say I ever saw...

     Hopefully you’ve checked out Jack Cofano’s photo gallery as you’ve really got to see this baby close up for all the detail work and the unbelievable paintjob. Maybe the bike is not your cup of tea, but that shouldn’t keep you from admiring the time and effort Christian and John have poured into this build. The idea behind it was to make a bike that had the feel of a...

    If you’d like to get an idea of what the evolution of Daniel’s thought process was on this new re-build check out this video of the bike in its former guise. As you can see, the basics are still there, but the end result is totally different and totally different in a good way. “With this bike, our intent was to bring something new to the scene. Not necessarily something that...

       Jack Cofano shot this bike belonging to Steve Studstill, service manager at Bikers Dream of Atlanta, at the recent Ultimate Builder Show in Atlanta, but it could have easily been five, six, or even a few more years ago. This bike called Devil features everything just about everybody was craving in custom bikes only a short while ago, but now seems kinda dated. Hold on there,...

     As soon as I looked at Jack Cofano’s tiny .jpg of Mark Irvin’s long and really low ode to long and low choppers of the recent past, the first thing I saw was it was a nice bright orange so I guess was predisposed to like it at first sight. Never mind the fact that it wasn’t a bagger or a bobber like everything else these days, it was a lovely experience just to look at...

       If you are a reader of Barnett’s, maybe you remember seeing the previous articles Don’t You Dare Call This A Rat Bike and What Goes On After Hours Stays After Hours that caused quite a lively comment stir on Barnett Harley’s Facebook page. If not, do yourself a favor and click on those links and see what all the fuss was about for yourself. Anyway, all I can say is that...
