Posted on 11. Feb, 2010 by admin.
Posted on 02.11.2010 17:37 by Maxx Biker Filed under: Harley-Davidson | custom | industry news | parts accesories | Motorcycles | Motorcycle News Harley-Davidson enthusiast and Johnny Cash fan Julian Grindall commissioned Shaw Speed and Custom Shop to build him what he calls the “Get Rhythm” motorcycle, which is actually a tribute to Johnny Cash. Talking about his inspiration source, Grindall said: "For me & the creation of a Johnny Cash tribute bike was quiet simple, the love of motorcycles especially Harley-Davidson and the music of an iconic performer & song writer." Dubbed the Johnny Cash bike, this custom is based on a 2004 Harley-Davidson Nightrain and it features a multitude of PM parts such as the wheels, Phatail kit and controls, just to mention a few. It also received an RSD Vintage seat and gas tank after being significantly lowered in a successful attempt to make it look sleeker

Triumph Street Triple R, the better version
Posted on 28. Jan, 2010 by admin.
Posted on 01.28.2010 11:29 by Maxx Biker Filed under: Triumph | roadster | parts accesories | Tuners | Triumph Street Triple | Motorcycles | Motorcycle News When you’re not satisfied with what a motorcycle company is selling to you, but you’re such a big fan and cannot head in the opposite direction, you start taking things into your own hands and out of your pockets. This is exactly what Tony Hartfield did when noticing that the Triumph Street Triple R isn’t quite the performance machine he was expecting when he bought it. So he then headed towards a new 2009 Triumph Daytona 675 (Street Triple R’s original source of inspiration) and built his own idea of a high-performance naked.

Buell 1125R by Magpul Ronin

Posted on 01.26.2010 11:21 by Maxx Biker Filed under: Buell | custom | parts accesories | Tuners | Buell 1125R | Motorcycles | Motorcycle News Although Buell doesn’t build bikes any more, their 1125R half-faired superbike remains a machine with great tuning potential and we’ve seen some good ones ever since HD decided to kill Buell last year, but none is as good as the Magpul Ronin Buell 1125R with girder suspension. Looking at it, it’s easy to think this bike actually suffered no modifications whatsoever as the girder front end looks similar to the original frame and swingarm, but it completely changes the whole look of the bike. There’s actually much more to it than just the girder suspension, but little information is available and we hear we can’t really hope for a production version as this is pretty much a demonstration of power right here and not quite THE way to go big on the highly competitive market of custom motorcycles.

Triumph Thruxton café racer by Pure Triumph

Posted on 01.11.2010 16:45 by Maxx Biker Filed under: Triumph | Triumph Thruxton | parts accesories | cafe racer | Motorcycles | Motorcycle News Take a look at what started life as a 2009 Triumph Thruxton and you, as us, will most likely come to the conclusion that almost all British bikes can be transformed into café racers as long as someone is willing to pay the buck. This unique bike right here was built by Pure Triumph and it features all the possible changes and aftermarket parts that a demanding rider could wish for. To begin with, we’re talking about upside down 50mm Showa forks and competition spec Bitabo multi adjustable shocks, which together with the 17-inch wheels (please note the 180 section of the rear tire) make sure the bike is able to go very fast around corners, just like a café racer should

Triumph Street Triple T-L675 Warbird by LSL
Posted on 07. Dec, 2009 by admin.
Posted on 12.7.2009 11:53 by Maxx Biker Filed under: Triumph | roadster | parts accesories | Tuners | Triumph Street Triple | Motorcycles | Motorcycle News US WW2 fighter, the P51 Mustang, has inspired German tuner LSL to create the Triumph Street Triple T-L675 Warbird. While we have to admit that this is what first started our interest regarding this bike, the 20 extra horsepower (a total of 115bhp), adjustable levers, GSX-R forks, Öhlins shock and Nissin brakes stand out as the proper means to back up the aggressive look, which in this case is enhanced by the new nose fairing. This British motorcycle built by a bunch of Germans to look like an American war machine on two wheels has a paintjob that is reminiscent of the Mustang and even Bridgestone tires with a tread design based on tires of the P51’s landing gear.
