The name scrawled across the chrome battery cover is the one that started the factory custom movement.
Super glide. Lean. Raw. Brute strength galvanized for eternity. And it’s all anchored by a silver and chrome Twin Cam 96 engine, rubber-mounted in the frame for a smooth ride.

Sitting right above it is a Fat Bob tank topped off by a big nostalgic speedometer, with the famed #1 logo on a leather strap. Then comes the two-up ribbed seat. Out front, a bullet headlamp riding on a massive 49mm fork. Take a look at the way the paint, raw metal and glittering chrome work together. It’s enough to make asphalt black with envy.
