Greg Hageman's known as the guy that convinced us that Yamaha Viragos can look good. But we've never seen a Harley-Davidson custom from the American builder. Which is strange; the Sportster is arguably a better (and more popular) platform than the Virago. And Greg sure knows his way around them—he's a qualified, master-level Harley technician. “I started in '99,” he tells us, “and took every single tech class the factory offered until 2011. So I was fully aware of the capabilities of what I…

One of the coolest things I get to do is manage the Burly Brand. Have been part of this thing for about five years and enjoy every minute of it. http://www.burlybrand.com With that comes an opportunity design parts and build bikes to market them (a rarity for marketing geeks at my level) Not a bad gig at all.

The Scrambler We Wish Harley Had Built...Introduced back in 2007, the Sportster XL1200N Nightster was a blacked-out, lowered version of the regular Sportster -- something of a "factory custom." Though it was mainly an aesthetic exercise, the Nightster garnered strong praise from riders and rev

Quite a few bikes have quirks that can trap the unwary builder. The strange frame curvature on the Honda CX500 is one of them, and the height of the Harley Sportster motor is another.

And it’s even harder to create a low-slung, slammed effect. But Uwe Kostrewa has managed to pull off both tricks, and deserves a round of hearty applause. Uwe…

RULER builds a dual-purpose Sportster...A lot of motorcycles have come and gone since the first Sportster rolled off the factory floor way back in 1957. While riders and journalists have been decrying the bike's antiquated push-rod V-twin technology for decades, the truth is that few b

A few weeks ago, I stumbled across some murky shots of this Harley Sportster 1200 in a workshop. It was one of the cleanest, classiest Sportsters I’ve ever seen, with beautiful paint and a perfect stance. I found out that it was owned by Bill Bryant, the driving force behind Biltwell Inc. And luckily for us, Bill's now had it shot properly so we can take a closer look. “The bike started life as a homely 1999 Sportster 1200 without much ‘Sport’ in it,” says Bill. So he decided to take off as…

This Harley-Davidson XL1200 Sportster custom is the work of Greg Hageman of Hageman Motorcycles, it started out as a lightly modified 1995 Sportster to
