Buttcrack Solo Seat with Independent Suspension Technology

  Danny Gray revolutionized the way seats are made two years ago with the introduction of their patented ā€œISTā€ Independent Suspension Technology line of seats. This proprietary IST seat design eliminates the compression and shock your body endures from riding on a traditional solid seat pan. It reduces vibration, compression and shock by eliminating conventional parts of the seat pan and replacing them with anatomically engineered cutouts. Now, in response to demand, long time Danny Gray favorite, the Buttcrack Solo seat is available with IST. ISTā€™s stress relief design features and benefits include: reduced pressure points on the tail bone and prostate areas of the body so you can focus on the riding experience and longer more comfortable rides.

Yes, Motorcycles Use Less Fuel Than Cars, Hereā€™s The Proof

Motorcycles consume less fuel than cars. You may think this is obvious, because they are smaller, weigh less and have smaller engines. But do they really? We are going to find out. It isnā€™t as simple as it sounds. Often we hear people complaining ā€“ or boasting ā€“ about a car that uses less fuel than a motorcycle. Well, if you compare the official type approval test figures of a Diesel car with the real-life figures of a big motorcycle, especially when that is used by a rider who likes to go fast, you shouldnā€™t be surprised then when the bike ā€˜beatsā€™ the car. However, when you compare you should do that with things that are comparable: apples with apples ...

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. They bolt directly on and the use of the stock FXR ...

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. Though ...

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!
