Decked out Road Glide Custom - New & Untitled

I’d like to introduce everyone to the latest customized bike at Laidlaw’s Harley-Davidson. We took a Brand-New, zero miles Road Glide Custom fresh out of the package and dressed it up a bit. The factory color we chose is a candy orange accented with chrome. Yes, it's available for a new owner.

Mounted at the front of the bike are the Paul Yaffe Monkey bars for your steering enjoyment. At the top of these bars, you’ll find that the switch housings and brake master cylinder have all been chromed out. The stock grips have been replaced with Harley-Davidson “Get-a-Grip hand grips (chrome) and the brake and clutch levers have been replaced with their chrome counterparts. The actual switches were left stock black.

To make this chariot roll, it’s got Harley-Davidson agitator wheels in the front and back. 19 inches of mirror chrome in the front and 18 inches in the back. To hold the front wheel in place, you have to have chromed out lower legs. The upper fork sliders are performance machine’s Merc chrome to give it some style and accent.

Why ride a bagger with mediocre tunes? Our thoughts exactly! On this rolling stereo, you got the Hog Tunes tweeter pod wrapped around the tachometer. Then Harley-Davidson’s Boom Audio speakers occupy the fairing wings. For the rear range of sound, the saddle bag lids have been utilized to house the H-D Boom Audio Saddlebag Speaker kit. All-in-all – quite the kickin’ system!

To channel some of that pesky wind off yer face, a smoked H-D wind splitter shield has been installed. This wind shield kicks more of the wind up around your head and doesn’t take away the style of your bike. After all – why ride a Harley if you can’t look good and sound good while doin’ it.

  1. Motorcycles come in many different styles, so it is important to match the bike you want with your riding style. Buying a motorcycle that is too big or advanced for you when you’re a newbie will either end up discouraging you from riding, or worse, resulting in injury. Select a motorcycle that you can competently maneuver and handle. If you are a novice rider, you should pick a bike that is light to handle, so that the bike would not overpower you.

  2. I agree with you, Erik. Just like cars, there’s a specific type of motorcycle for you. It should be based upon your preference and skills. My dad gave me a pink Harley Softail Rocker last year. It’s easy to ride and I really feel like I rule the road every time I use it! ;)

  3. This one has a lot of resemblance to the Harley Davidson 09 FLHX Street Glide that my brother bought a year ago. Only, this one is a single seat bike. Those are impressive modifications! Having those speakers attached is a great idea. You can instantly have a party anywhere you’d like even if you're hanging out at the carpark.
