Trick Harley Sportster 48 From Australia’s Kustom Kommune

I’ve written about how I like some cafe-style Harleys before, and would really love to build an XR750 clone someday. So I’m always interested in projects which take a Harley in a slightly different direction, and I loved this build from Australia’s Kustom Kommune. Now, I know a bunch of members might be turned off by the […] More »

Class Action Filed Against Harley-Davidson Over Leaking Rushmore CVOs

Water cooling is a touchy subject here on the forums, to put it mildly. Many members believing it robs Harley’s iconic touring bikes of the beauty and—relative—simplicity which has defined them for decades. But given that it’s a new system, the occasional bug is to be expected Unless you’re Robert Okon, that is. Last Thursday, […] More »
