One piece at a time

September 18, 2013 by Road Captain

Johnny Cash’s song “one piece at a time” comes to mind when reflecting on a recent bike trip and a builder we met down south. Johnny Cash’s song was about a car tech who took one part home from a GM factory every day for a few years. Eventually he built an automobile that was completely one of a kind. A few months back we were riding in Tennessee and happened upon a crew from NC. One of the guys […]

An honorable retirement from distinguished service

September 7, 2013 by Road Captain

When one of our readers thought about his next Bagger, he thought about the three options: Buy a new stock bike and add some customization Buy an already custom built bagger Buy something that has lived a great life and give it a new one It became clear that not only was #3 the right option but reviving a former Harley Davidson Police Road King would be the only suitable path. So the search started. He found a bone-stock 2008 […]

Taking the bike on the road after this install is like the first cycle of andro…not that I’d know!

It’s an experience – the new motor that is. I’d need a dual degree in art history and literature as well as a soap box to properly […]

2013 Road Glide CVO versus Building it yourself

April 5, 2013 by Road Captain

A true first world dilemma is trying to make a decision between dropping $34,000 on a 2013 Harley Davidson CVO Road Glide or taking that same $34,000 to build your own bike. This is truly a problem that not many of us have to wrestle with on a daily basis. Here we’ll break down the parts and value your $34k would afford versus the options you could use should you build it yourself from a stock Road Glide Custom. Let’s […]

How to pick YOUR first Motorcycle

No less than once every month, a potential new biker says to me “I’m looking to learn how to ride, want to take the (road test) and get a bike – what would you suggest?” Buying your first bike is not an easy decision – especially when you don’t know much about the pastime in the first place. Elements to consider are: 1. Cost – Your disposable funds 2. The type of cycle that you want- sport bike versus cruiser […]

Great dash kit

February 18, 2013 by thebeantownbaggers

This is the dash kit made by sinister industries. It comes with a pop-up gas lid and is prepped for paint. This is a much better selection than the stock dash. It is very similar to the one that comes on the CVO in 2013. The price before paint is about $250. It can be found here: http://www.sinisterindustries.com/store/shop/category.aspx/dash-kit/17/

This is the stupid shit that happened in 2001. These people rake the forks so that they are unrideable.

The aftermarket has come and gone and these DBs are […]
