RSD 2-Up FXR Boss and Traction Seats

We've been waiting for FXRs to make a return and these great bikes are now more popular than ever. Trendsetters like RSD are probably no stranger to the FXR resurgence. Wheelies, burnouts and basic hooligan riding is what these FXR seats are all about, says RSD. The new Boss and Traction seats used standard foam in the seating area for comfort and denser foam behind the rider, for extra support when poppinā€™ wheelies or standing on the seat. In other words, these seats are not only cool, but they're functional too, if you catch our drift... RSD says these seats work great on solo missions or with a passenger.

Classic 2007 Softail Receives Paint Touch-Up

The classic, before the paint shot. Riverside CA May 1st 2016: Last year I bought the bike I had been dreaming about since it made its debut in the Harley line-up in 2007. Itā€™s a two-tone Pacific blue and black 2008 Softail Custom; FXSTC. Iā€™ve included the alphabet soup nomenclature for those who are entertained by Harley model-acronyms. Stock wings. No matter how I try I canā€™t find an unattractive viewing angle on the thing. If it were a fashion model it would be considered ā€œcamera-proof.ā€ Then one day, as I ogled my two-wheeled prize, I started thinking, how cool it would be if the stylized feathers, outlined on the tank, could be filled in with swirled copper leaf.

Hippy Power!

We really never saw this one coming... What an amazing amount of work was done to scale down a microbus and turn it into a side hack! Note that the motorcycle itself is powered by a VW Flat 4 engine and seems to be using a drum brake setup most likely from a VW too!

THE NEVER GIVE UP BIKERNET WEEKLY NEWS for May 19, 2016

Hey, This week has been beyond interesting. All the bottom line goals were almost realized. I talked about Not Giving Up, and you canā€™t. This week held examples. I believe Phil, from Philā€™s Speed Shop in Orange County inspired me to find the solution to a 4-year challenge. My Crazy Horse, now V-Plus 100-inch engine sputters. Iā€™ve just switched out the ignition, coil, and Battery for Twin Power jobs from Bikerā€™s choice. It starts and purr, but at about 30 mph it goes to hell.
