Küryakyn's Heavy Industry Mirrors are the first release from the new lineup of rugged and stylish accessories featuring a modern, industrial design built for pure form and function.

The four available finish configurations can be further enhanced with optional Stem and Accent Kits (sold separately) for quick and easy customization down to the last ...

It’s another strange day in paradise. It’s raining and California needs it. Hopefully it will blow over before next weekend and the Easyriders show hits Long Beach. This weekend ER is hosting the Sacramento show. I’ve been thinking lately, which is a troubling notion. I wonder why I encounter anxiety from time to time? It dawned on me. It’s based on recent encounters with the man and unrelenting news reports. Think about it. If I make a repair to my building a government agent can kick me out of my home, because he doesn’t like it, or my neighbor snitched me off me. Due to terrorist threats and anti-gun factions a government agent could show up at my door and ...

When Brian Mahaney started riding his Harley, he experienced a sense of freedom and adventure — but realized that many others wouldn’t have that. “I got thinking about those in wheechairs, disabled vets, and others who wouldn’t get to feel the road this way,” said Mahaney, who took that thought, and put some wheels on it. Mahaney and his wife, Michelle, started “Forged Spirit Garage” this past summer with the intent to develop a wheelchair accessible sidecar, which offers what he calls “two-wheel therapy.” “Getting out on the bike is amazing. You feel the wind, and the road, and you don’t think of anything. It’s a great way to clear your mind, and you aren’t thinking about the bills, the ...

Editor’s Note: This is an amazing story. I’ve worked with motorcycle artists for over 40 years, from David Mann, to custom bike painters like Dave Perewitz. Many of them became life-long friends and associates. Some, you work with once and never go back for one reason or another. I was introduced to Atomic Bob and Sara Belle through Prince Najar, who started to work with them on our 5-Ball Racing Leather ™ line for a special one-off touch. Since my location on the west coast fell far from their homes on the east coast I didn’t have a direct, working relationship until I met them at the Smoke Out last year. I was so moved by their professionalism and Bob’s ...

These eye catching forward controls incorporate noteworthy modifications targeting specific customer requests. Most noteworthy, mounting brackets have been completely reshaped from earlier models providing a lower profile and unique, super clean appearance.  Additionally, control kits Part #’s GMA-FC-100 & GMA-FC-200 now feature a splined shift arm with a pinch bolt for plenty of indexing options. The shaft is also larger in diameter and supported by an oil impregnated bronze bushing pressed into the left side mounting bracket. They’ve also fit an adjustable actuating rod and clevis design while retaining the adjustable indexing foot lever. A nice touch to get both the brake and shifter levers right where you want them. The redesigned mounting brackets make for a simple, unhindered installation ...

Sen. Andrew Hosmer, a Democrat from Laconia, has introduced legislation to repeal the statute restricting the height of handlebars on motorcycles and return so-called “ape-hangers” to the roads of the Granite State. New Hampshire is now among more than 30 states that limit the height of handlebars. The statute prohibits motorcycles fitted with grips “higher than than the shoulder level of the driver when in the seat or saddle.” It also prohibits riding a motorcycle with “improvised, defective, or repaired handlebars.” “I applaud Sen. Hosmer for sponsoring this bill,” said Charlie St. Clair, executive director of the Laconia Motorcycle Week Association. He noted that New Hampshire began regulating handlebars in 1967, a time when many state legislatures associated motorcycling with ...

Many readers may know of Atomic Bob, pinstriper from Ohio.

Atomic creates artwork and sends it to her to create t-shirts, prints, shop rags and other rad pieces for people to purchase ...

Hey, It’s been a testing year for the Bikernet crew. We’ve made significant strides in some areas and stumbled in others. We changed up the Cantina, but that didn’t work. We reverted back to the old program working with Jack McIntyre and we are back on schedule. We started new programs with Cycle Source and they are working like a champ. As of 2016, the Bikernet Headquarters will take over shipping of 5-Ball Leather Products. The line will expand in 2016 and we will develop a solid dealer program. This should be a fun year for 5-Ball Racing Leathers. A major portion of this year’s 5-Ball Racing Leathers is our Salt Torpedo effort. We made some progress last year, but ...
