Just got into Hot Bike Bagger!

[Tricky Air]

Our new Harley Bagger Front Air Forks made it into the July issue of Hot Bike Bagger! The article was about the 52 Hottest new things to have on your Bagger, our Front End was number 15! The bike is our friends Road King, it rides low with our front and rear air rides, it's also got Ape hangers and a supercharger. This thing is boss hoss! (the pictures could have been bigger, but we'll take it!)

Not so keen on those extended swing-arm 'sports' bikes - kinda ruins the cornering ability I bet,the chops look ok though, very cool.

So where is the blown bagger pics?

The pics are here: www.trickyair.com

Not by cup of tea, but I can see the aesthetic appeal.

What's a bagger?

What's a bagger?

In H_D speak it's a big 'ol lardy-arsed tourer with....side-bags.

In this case I wonder if they mean air-bags since that is what the hot-rod set call their ait-suspension.

Thinly veiled blatant advertising is what I read into this

I can understand the appeal of lowering the back end for looks, but to me most custom bikes have extended raked out front ends rather than short stubby forks - I still have and read all my chopper mags form the 70's

The original rationale behind longer front ends (2"-4") was increased clearance for corners and increased trail for high speed stability

However lowering a front end will reduce cornering clearance and make a bike more unstable at speed

That's extremely bad English; it should be "where ARE the blown bagger pics?" Sheesh. Talk about dumbing down.

ait suspension? Where do you buy that? Or more importantly, where do you put it?

A bike so ridiculous you feel the need to put a bag over it in public.

Now a 2 bagger is......

and the look ugly/silly to boot.. they just look wrong

[cowpatz]

It is just an artistic expression and another type of Phallic jousting. Not a practical piece of machinery at all.

Good for you mate - it must give you a sense of pride being in publication.

I find the baggers kind of cool.
Lets admit it, Harley has founded one of the worlds most successful businesses on a 'look' the bagger is just a variation of the look. Personally it's a nice variation to Harleys clones of Harley (think about it) I see most days.

It's good to modify ya bikes.
