Corbin Gunfighter Saddle for

2012 - 2017 Harley-Davidson Night Rod

Comfort and style together in one package is what made the Corbin name famous worldwide. Delivering a quality product constructed of the finest materials available has made Corbin the number one manufacturer of motorcycle saddles for over forty years! Our Gunfighter saddle for the Night Rod is a perfect example of this combination of form and function.

Up front the seating area has been ergonomically designed to distribute body weight over a greater area. This provides long-range support and eliminates hot spots. Neutralized seating platform helps to hold your body in place and curbs sliding in the saddle. Bucket shaping gives an unprecedented amount of body support. Notice how it curves up at the back to provide support to your lower back. Towards the front of the bucket we design the saddle narrower to allow for ground reach.

Passenger area is built to look good on the bike and flow with the fender. We use our high density Comfort Cell foam to provide reasonable comfort despite the low profile. There was not

KURYAKYN HYPERCHARGER ES AIR CLEANER: REINVENTING A REVOLUTION

An unbridled dose of modern style & technology injected into a legendary bloodline.

SOMERSET, WIS, AUG 2— When you hear Hypercharger™, you think Kuryakyn®. After the hot rod-inspired intake was introduced to V-twin enthusiasts more than 25 years ago, it arguably became the industry’s best-selling aftermarket air cleaner with hundreds of thousands of units sold to-date worldwide. Now, the journey has come full circle with the official introduction of the revolutionary Hypercharger ES.

Representing the evolution of one of the industry’s most iconic products, the Hypercharger ES showcases modern updates in both style and performance. The radical new design features state-of-the-art electronic butterfly engagement, delivering precise butterfly movement compared to vacuum-operated fluttering. An integrated servo motor that connects to the coil actuates and opens the butterflies with every twist of the throttle, creating an interactive experience between rider, air cleaner and motorcycle unlike anything available. 

Air delivery is maximized through an all-new Kuryakyn-designed high-flow K&N® filter element. The larger surface area combined with an internal stinger design on the filter’s end cap results in approximately 10-percent more airflow, improved CFM rating, and increased horsepower and torque versus previous Hypercharger models. Third-party dyno tuning performed on a stock Harley-Davidson® 107-cubic-inch Milwaukee-Eight® Touring model

World's first tattooed motorcycle awarded at Sturgis Rally 2017

World's first tattooed motorcycle awarded at Sturgis Rally 2017

During the 77th Annual Sturgis® Motorcycle Rally™, the biggest motorcycle rally in the world organized in the American city of Sturgis, built by the Polish Game Over Cycles company motorcycle called The Recidivist won 1st place in „Most Unusual” class in the  Rat’s Hole Custom Bike Show, the oldest and most prestigous custom bike show in the world.

The Recidivist is world's first tattooed motorcycle. The bike, which was unveiled in 2014, in Sturgis was displayed for the first time in America and it came to the US with its new construction element – a fully tattooed sidecar which in the USA had its world premiere. Sturgis rally (South Dakota) is the biggest motorcycle event in the world. This small town with popluation just under 7000 people, once a year turns into the bike capital of the world and gathers hunderds of thousands of motorcyclists, together with the biggest media and personalities of the industry. According to the organizer's data, in 2016 over 448 000 people took part in the rally.  Rat’s Hole Custom Bike Show is world's oldest custom bike show. First event of the series took place in 1973 and today in this most prestigous event in the industry, bikes from all over the world compete for the famous Rat trophy.

 „Sturgis rally and Rat’s Hole show are legends. The biggest rally in the world and the legendary custom bike show organized in the birthplace of the customizing, so the USA. We are proud, that during our first visit to the USA with one of our bikes we were awarded in such a prestigous competition” - commented on his company’s achievement Stanisław Myszkowski, founder and the owner of GOC. 

The Recidivist is a machine inspired by the art of permanent body adornment. Motorbikes are commonly adorned with tattoo motifs using an airbrush, however the uniqueness of The Recidivist lies in the fact that the bike's entire construction is covered in tattoed skin branded directly onto the bike's tires, tanks, seat, rear fender, lamp and many other smaller elements. Light colored cow hide leather - similar to the color of human skin - is engineered onto the bike. Artists from Polish tattoo studios applied traditional works of tattoo art onto the bike using. All

Geiselwind, Germany - Bike and Music Weekend Bikeshow 2017

Bike and Music Weekend Bikeshow 2017 

August 3rd to 6th, Geiselwind/Germany 

The Bikeshow you should know: Have a hot time at Germany's wildest Motorcycle, Custombike, Streetfighter and US Car Meet!

Text and photography by Horst 'Motographer' Roesler

The event that "rocks" in Germany is "Bike and Music Weekend" in Geiselwind, running the first weekend in August. With all the Dragracing, burnout, live music and stunt action, it is often forgotten that the eventsite also hosts one of the most interesting and long-time bikeshows in Germany: running for 22 years and 16 at the Strohofer Truckstop, the organisers take great care to create a scenic presentation to tribute the craftmanship of the customizers that exhibit here. Germany and Franconia in particular have been one of the "birthplaces" of German Harley customizing, for it was here that American GI's rode and customized their Harleys during the "Cold War" years from the Sixties to Eighties. Some of them are still around – and so are the customizers they inspired: Like Steve Schneiderbanger from SSC and others that pass on "the flame" to the next generation. Bike and Music Weekend is one of their "Showcases" and also calls in the current customizers well beyond Franconia and Bavaria. But it is also true that this well-organized and cool bikeshow deserves more.

One of the main "Showparts" of Bike & Music are the Custombike and US-Car Shows, both show parts for some years under "covered" halls which are weatherproof and especially the Bikeshow hall decorated for superb view on the custombikes and classics exhibited. 14 classes plus special awards and "Best of Show" grant a wide variety of excellent custombikes and often rare classics that can only be seen at Bike & Music Weekend.

Moto Guzzi Open House 2017

Moto Guzzi Open House 2017 verwelkomt duizenden Guzzisti 

• Viering van de 50ste verjaardag van de V7-legende in Moto Guzzi Village

• Live optredens van de beste Italiaanse customizers

• Moto Guzzi Clan telt inmiddels meer dan 16.000 leden

Breda, 7 augustus 2017 – Moto Guzzi Open House, het evenement dat geen enkele liefhebber van het merk met de adelaar mag missen, is terug bij de historische fabriek in Mandello del Lario. Verleden jaar streken 25.000 fans in Mandello del Lario neer, waardoor de verwachtingen voor de editie van 2017 hoog gespannen zijn. Van vrijdag 8 tot en met zondag 10 september wordt de 50ste verjaardag van de legendarische V7 gevierd met een buitengewoon gevuld eventprogramma. 

Het Moto Guzzi Open House wordt een evenement waarbij de liefhebbers van het merk samenkomen en Mandello del Lario duizenden Moto Guzzi’s verwelkomt op de plek waar al sinds 1921 elke motorfiets van het merk met de adelaar wordt geproduceerd. Dit is ook een reden waarom Moto Guzzi alle deelnemers uitnodigt om hun belevenissen tijdens hun 'terugkeer' naar Mandello te delen op sociale media, verrijkt met foto's, video's en verhalen: #ridebackhome is de hashtag die iedereen kan gebruiken op Facebook en Instagram om het verhaal te vertellen van de trip die hen voert naar de rode poort aan de via Parodi.

De 2017-editie van Moto Guzzi Open House begint op vrijdag 8 september om 15:00 uur met de opening van het museum en de shop. Op zaterdag 9 september is het vanaf 9:30 uur mogelijk om de productielijnen, de motorassemblagelijn waar de legendarische tweecilinders worden gemaakt, en de historische windtunnel van Moto Guzzi te bezoeken.
De Moto Guzzi Village, in het centrum van de historische fabriek in Mandello, fungeert het hele

Over het Triumph bezoekerscentrum

Dit najaar zal Triumph de deuren open van haar nieuwe bezoekerscentrum, dat gelegen is op het fabrieksterrein te Hinckley. Momenteel wordt er hard gewerkt aan de realisatie van het centrum en kan er nog geen exacte datum bevestigd worden waarop het centrum toegankelijk zal zijn voor het publiek. Wel verklapt Triumph dat, naast de rondleidingen door de fabriek, er in het centrum een complete beleving zal zijn met een café, een museum, een shop en meer. Iets om in de gaten te houden dus voor de volgende motortrip naar Engeland.

Give a good fork to your Bonneville, step-by-step guide from Free Spirits - Italy

​ Give a good fork to your Bonneville This New T120 is very attractive, in its category it fulfills absolutely the mission which is its own; It gives a lot of sensations and its 1200 cc’s completely new bi-cylinder is responding at any rev. The throttle ride by wire offers the possibility of popping out of trafic with a surprising vivacité, the horspower are there, nothing supersonic, we’re not on a Street triple, but frankly there’s an strong answer. Braking system with its double discs is quite correct, that’s what was missing the old versions and will continue to miss the street twin of the low range, but here, everything is ok. The only negative point here could be a very perfectible shock absorbing system and especially a fork that pumps so much and more, for a motorcycle of such power and weight, this may be a handicap. This road test gives us the opportunity to look at an article designed and manufactured in Italy by the company FreeSpirits to remedy this, unfortunately available only for the Bonneville ranges from 2001 to 2015, Thruxton 2004 to 2015, Scrambler 2006 to 2016, America, Speedmaster and then on the new street twin, street cup, street scrambler, the T100 from 2016 and the bobber. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a trick to add a shim on the spring but a complete system, conceived and build in Italy which allows for a much better response from the fork and greater stability of the front end.. We will see, step by step, how to install this device Unscrew the cap from the fork tube. Remove the spacer, spring and drain the oil. Pull the fork tube and unlock the allen screw to remove the damping rod. Watch out! If
