Billy Lane Builds Custom Bike To Honor U.S. Air Force
Saturday, January 21, 2012 @ 09:01 AM
Memorial Day 2012 marks the 25th Anniversary of Rolling Thunder’s annual First Amendment Demonstration Run in Washington D.C. –an event that attracts over 450,000 motorcycles and more than a million attendees. Rolling Thunder is a non-profit organization, whose mission is to publicize POW-MIA issues, educate the public concerning the many American Prisoners of War that have been left behind, to help correct the past, and to protect future Veterans. The annual rally has evolved to serve not only the Prisoner of War/Missing in Action issue, but also has become a demonstration of patriotism and respect for Service Members and Veterans from all wars.At this year’s 25th Anniversary Run in Washington D.C., five amazing motorcycles will be unveiled to honor each branch of the U.S. Military, bringing recognition and respect to all of America’s servicemen and women. The 5 Tribute Bikes are destined to be epic, and the building process to be featured in leading motorcycle publications. These powerful, road-worthy bikes will tour the U.S. with the traveling Vietnam War Memorial “Wall that Heals”, visiting military installations and events, Veterans Affairs locations, major motorcycle rallies, and then potentially taken overseas to the troops.
· U.S. Air Force Billy Lane, of Choppers Inc., will be building the Air Force bike unassisted, with sponsorship and support from The Horse Backstreet Choppers magazine, and donations from other generous contributors. Of course, Choppers Inc. will be providing several of Billy’s patented parts for the project. Meanwhile, “The Horse” will maintain exclusive rights to publish photos and details of Billy’s challenging build, up until the unveiling on Memorial weekend.
· U.S. Army Jay Allen, of the famed Broken Spoke Saloon, will present his custom-built U.S. Army bike –which has already hit the asphalt nationwide, inspiring the concept for Rolling Thunder’s 25th Anniversary observance.
· U.S. Coast Guard Mike Thomas (“Kiwi Mike”), of Kiwi Indian, will build the Coast Guard Tribute Bike, to be published in American Iron magazine.
· U.S. Marine Corps The Marine Corps bike is courtesy of Brigitte Bourget/Bourget’s Bike Works, and will be featured in Iron Works magazine.
· U.S. Navy The Navy Tribute Bike will be created by Darwin Holdsworth, of Darwin Motorcycles, with his build to be covered by Cycle Source magazine.
The Lane family is extremely excited about Billy’s invitation to participate in such an honorable event. We would also like to extend our thanks and appreciation to Rolling Thunder Washington D.C., Jay Allen Promotions, R&R Promotions, The Horse Backstreet Choppers, and Florida’s Department of Corrections.
Here Comes The Judge!
Friday, January 20, 2012 @ 11:01 AM
Victory goes musclecar on your ass with the new judge!
The Judge has a powerful silhouette and details that evoke visions of classic American muscle cars. Three paint options including a sinister Gloss Black, Sunset Red, and a signature Suede Nuclear Sunset, host the minimal graphics. No frills, no excess, no excuses.
The fuel tank features signature Victory styling, the new headlight has crisp design lines and the side covers have oval faces just waiting to be customized. The frame, dual exhaust, triple trees, cases, cylinder heads and more are blacked-out. The Judge says “just drop the polish and pull the trigger.”
The drag bars and bodywork are all new, as is the styling of the taillight, fender struts and new EFI covers between the cylinders. The Victory Judge features new 5-spoke cast wheels that evoke memories of performance mag wheels seen at race tracks in the 70’s. These 16” rims are shod with premium Dunlop Elite II tires with raised white lettering, the perfect look on this performance cruiser.

Thursday, January 19, 2012 @ 05:01 PM
When Rivera Primo starts a product line, they look at several major components; functionality, fit and finish and range of application. In simpler terms they make stuff that goes on easy, works properly, looks great and fits lots of V-Twin motorcycles. Thats exactly what they did with their FLT style PowerDrive™ 6 transmission.
Finished in flawless high polish and show chrome plating, this PowerDrive™ 6 speed fits 1993-1998 Touring models and comes completely assembled with a black wrinkled oil pan and a billet aluminum oil fill spout that accepts the stock filler cap. It comes in two versions: A standard offset for stock bikes with stock width rear tires using a 5/8" swingarm pivot shaft (1214-0015); and a 1/2" offset for customs with wide tires and utilizing a 3/4" pivot shaft (1214-0018).
The oil fill spout (part #1215-0029) is carved from a solid block of billet, with cooling fins added for that 'high speed' look, and then its beautifully finished off with our show polish finish.
