Editor's Note: The Following is a special tech piece by our great friend and fellow Bikernet contributor Anson “Knucklehead” Alexander. You may have read about his 95” upgrade on his bagger a few months back. Well, it seems some guys just aren’t happy having just one bike to tinker with and build for a national […]

This could be the product of the year, a braking system within the wheel of a hub. At last we could see those bitchin’ wheels. But as our Bikernet investigation continued the benefits of this new system expanded.“It’s called the “360 Brake” and it is revolutionizing the braking industry,” said Chet Burozski, of Baldwin Wilson

This is a wild one. Ray Wheeler, the USA W8Less Rotor rep, busted his ass for two or three years promoting these mysterious and amazing rotors, while the engineers struggled to design the ultimate floating, light-as-a-feather rotors. Here's what the doctors of the Matrix have to say:W8LESS motorcycle disc brake rotors utilize advanced materials commonly

I recently received the following information regarding new Avon tyre technology. I was immediately lost, so I called Sukoshi Fahey at the esteemed Washington Avon headquarters. “There's so much more testing and technology available to tire construction,” Sukoshi said. She has an extensive background in the motorcycle tire world. “We're always searching for the perfect

Last episode I was hit hard with life's bullshit obstacles to freedom and creative expression, but that's how it goes. I generally build at least one bike a year and each one represents a milestone of sorts. Or each one represents another year in the life and times of Bandit. I'm not unique. This notion

How do you feel about your computer? I could easily take my old .357 Smith and Wesson revolver and blow this sonuvabitch into the briny harbor Pacific waters. I'd set the smoking gun down, go find a job driving a trash truck, and be able to hang out with the bros and drink beer until

It's resting on the tail end of June and I'm riding to Sturgis on 27th of July. I'm burnin' daylight. Assembly will begin this 4th of July weekend, if I don't party the whole weekend away. This tech will take you through all the final preparations for shipment to paint, since I'm avoiding chrome. In

Every custom motorcycle build is an adventure. It takes me from one crazed time in my wild life to another. Fortunately, I'm not spilling my guts about another woman I lost during a knuckle-busting build. But this build did represent turning points. I'm about to step off into my 62nd year and sign up for

There’s a wild air cleaner from Paul Cox. I’m going to say, and I might be off base, that most carbs are rebuilt for a couple of reasons: either they sat too long, sucked bad gas, or ran without an air cleaner too long. I would venture to guess that most carbs on custom bikes

We’d like to say that it’s all work and no play for the IronWorkers crew at Sturgis, but truth be told, we managed to work in some biking fun. We also asked Dar Holdsworth of Brass Balls Bobbers if he’d display the IronWorks/Bikernet.com/Brass Balls Bobber, giveaway bike (or dare we say, your bike) at the

If you’re using the Harley-Davidson Oil Cooler Kit part number 26082-05 you will also have to purchase a oil filter part number 63798-99. We covered installing another factory/touring oil cooler system in the King reports, but since then some people had problems with the original system and the factory developed this upgrade. That’s why we’re
