Innholdsfortegnelse for March 2016 i Baggers Magazine

My name is Carey Hart. You may have heard of me from my long freestyle motocross career, my supercross and motocross race team RCH with my partner Ricky Carmichael, the old days of reality TV about my tattoo shop in Las Vegas, and/or on a red carpet with my wife, Pink. Why Baggers, you ask? When Jordan approached me about a column, I thought it would be a great opportunity to tell you about my experiences. I have been a longtime fan of Harley-Davidson motorcycles. From the first bike I got (a Harley Softail) in 2000 to the most recent Road Glide that I did some customizing on for the 75th Sturgis rally (maybe you saw the bike on the January cover?), I fell in love with V-twins at first…

Harley-Davidson brought back the coveted Road Glide in 2015, redesigned and retooled. And the race began for companies to meet the soon-to-be-flood-of demands for aftermarket parts. One of those companies was Factory 47 Cycles. One of the first mods people make are swapping handlebars. Designing a handlebar is a science, and Factory 47 has the formula. Factory 47 put its 14-inch Malo bars on a 2015 Road Glide to give it a more sinister look. Who doesn’t love a good Z-bar? The Malo handlebars are engineered to drastically change the look of your motorcycle with as much ease as possible. The Malo handlebars are designed so that no extensions to the switch wiring or brake/clutch line are needed. It is as simple as removing, disconnecting, and reinstalling the new set.…

Looking for an easy way to beef up your bagger's horsepower and torque? Well, the guys over at Fuel Moto have done an excellent job of increasing your Harley's performance by offering the Power Package. Basically, you choose a pipe and air cleaner (multiple options available), a tuner, and voila, you're ready to rip down the road. Pricing varies on Power Packages, but we went with the E-Series 2-into-1 exhaust, a high-flow air cleaner, and a Dynojet Power Vision (all for $1,144.99) which came pre-mapped for our bike that literally made it all plug-and-play, and we picked up some pretty impressive gains on the dyno. We installed Fuel Moto's Power Package on a 2015 Harley-Davidson Street Glide and installation was a breeze. Follow along with us as we install Fuel…

Finally. Spring is springing and young (and old) riders’ fancies turn to thoughts of love—for the road. There are a lot of events coming up and a lot of people going to those events. So many places to go, so much to do… Unless that’s a time machine in your pocket you can’t hit them all. You gotta come up with a battle plan. Here are some of our favorites, plus some helpful nagging about safety and proper preparation that we shouldn’t have to provide you but will anyway. Above all, enjoy the ride and send us your photos from the road! Spring Daytona Bike Week (March 4–14, 2016) Where: Daytona Beach, FL How to Get There: If you’re riding in from out of state, take I-95 south from Jacksonville,…

One of the underlying mentalities at Barnstorm Cycles in Spencer, Massachusetts, has always been a desire to marry form and function with as little compromise as possible. Barnstorm started its love affair with motorcycles as avid riders, so striving to make every bike the best functional version of itself is Barnstorm’s top priority. The Barnstorm Bagger came about from seeing the bagger world exploding into a trend of taking an inherently function-based machine and pushing it out of that realm, into extremes purely in the name of form. Owner Jake Cutler felt that it would be an exciting challenge to build a bagger in which the design was based in performance and function but with the aesthetics of those elements making it more beautiful. In fact, we actually strove to…

For the true motorcycle enthusiast, there isn’t much out there that can stop them from spending as much time on two wheels as humanly possible. Money usually doesn’t tend to be an issue because there’s always somehow, someway to get more of it. Time? Naw, something on the calendar can always be juggled or canceled altogether. How about a traffic accident, though? Depending on the severity of the crash, this might be the crucial, deciding factor that can potentially take a guy off a bike for good. But what would probably turn into a lifetime of fear and phobia for some, there are those like James Seldon who aren’t fazed much by the pain and aren’t scared to hop back on the saddle. James did experience some roadrash while on…

FRAME-UP CUSTOM Paul Boeckman is a custom painter from the south suburbs of Chicago in nearby Palos Heights, Illinois.

The bike is ridden like…

Crusher Performance has been pretty busy since launching its new exhaust product line well over a year ago, and its latest developments and designs in aftermarket exhaust systems have been very well received from a looks and sound perspective. But did they perform? The answer to that question: yes! We paired the slip-ons to a set of Crusher True Dual Head Pipes ($459.99) along with a Crusher Maverick Air Cleaner ($329.99) and had everything tuned with a Vance & Hines Fuelpak, and we were able to achieve some really good increases. FIT ’95-’16 H-D Electra Glide, Road Glide, Road King, Street Glide, Tour Glide & Trike FINISH Chrome or Black THE NUMBERS Our stock 103ci Harley Street Glide put out 70 hp and 88 pound-feet of torque.

Anyone who knows me can attest to the fact that I have an affinity for riding motorcycles in the wild and wonderful state of West Virginia. That said, when I was recently invited to join some friends to ride around the state I jumped at the opportunity. The plan was to meet for dinner on a Sunday in the state capital, Charleston. Therefore on Saturday morning I hugged and kissed my girlfriend goodbye, packed my ride—a 2003 Road King—and headed out from lower Manhattan. To get out of Gotham I had to take a tunnel and then superslab it across the Garden State. From there I rode through a good portion of Pennsylvania on I-78 before turning south on Interstate 81. When I crossed into WV I held up in…

Following up our cover bike from last month, we wanted to delve deeper into the bits and pieces that made our official 2015 Baggers Invitational Build-Off bagger mascot the beast that it is by offering you a dissection of sorts, to help you get a little more motivated in terms of how to go about making your bagger a performance machine—and a very cool-looking one to boot. GO FAST/RIDE HARD PARTS LIST S&S Cycle 124ci T-Series Hot-Rod Motor ($6,295, part #310-0400) The name says it all: Hot Rod. And that was exactly the reason we ordered up the beefy powerplant for this performancebased bagger. The S&S T-Series 124ci engine for 2007–later Big Twins features special head machining to fit stock length intake manifolds (S&S manifold size 405), stock-style breathing system…

Take a look at this bike. She’s the embodiment of girl power. We’re not referring specifically to women’s suffrage, burning bras, or Susan B. Anthony. This is the kind of girl power that snaps necks with its ponies, not My Little Pony. This kind of girl power rocks a 30-inch chrome hoop, not gold hoop earrings. You could say this union of beauty and brawn is the spiritual great-granddaughter of Susan with a four-stroke feminist heart beating defiantly at her core. She started inauspiciously as a 2012 Road King, but through gender reassignment by one of the best bagger surgeons in the land, Chris Eder of Misfit Industries of Plano, Texas, she soon had the parts and looks to match the lioness that growled within her all along. Chris coronated…
