Metal Dragon's Road Glide Custom
« on: October 14, 2012, 01:49:55 AM »
Over the past few years I have been collecting parts for a custom bike build. I decided on a Road Glide for the build with a 09+ Bagger frame from Rolling Thunder. A Fat Baggers drop seat kit was added to complete the frame. For the engine I did a 113" using HD cases, flywheels, Bigger Bore 4.060" cylinders and pistons. Flywheels were balanced, welded, and trued. For the cam I wanted a great torque cam that carried through the RPM range. I choose a T-man TR625 as we have had great luck with this cam in the past. The new 110" heads came from Sadunbar. I then had Hannan's Machine work them doing a full port and polish and redoing the combustion chamber to match the pistons and cams. Valves were replaced with 2.125" intake and 1.63" exhaust. Throttle body is a HPI 55-58 with 5.3g injectors.  Exhaust is a Fullsac "C" x-pipe with 2.25" cores in CVO cans. Primary drive is a Rivera open belt with a Pro-clutch. Transmission is stock HD with a 30T pulley. Swingarm was modified to use the stock belt. Body parts are mostly HD with the exception of the tank and side covers. Front end is OEM with Progressive Monotubes, rear shocks are from Suspension Technologies. 2010 SESG Wheels were purchased from a site member. Gauges are from Medallion instruments. All wiring harnesses and electronics are OEM. For the stereo I used a OEM HK head unit that feeds 600 watts of Hawg-Wired amps to the six speaker system. 6.5" ZX speakers in the fairing and lowers, GTK series tweeter behing the fairing grilles, prototype 5x7" ZX series speakers in the bag lids.

The engine has been tuned to 4500rpm so far, just for the hell of it we did one full throttle pull when we were done and it made 131hp and 130tq
I have about 250 miles on the break in and need to finish the tune soon, I expect to get 135+ out of it..I will post the results soon.

I was pretty lazy with the camera during the process but here is the finished product.

Very nice, just curious how much noise that particular open primary drive makes?

Swwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!! As much as I am a chromeaholic if I could own two bikes one would be just like that. The flat black with the subtle hints of red remind me of the ole skool hot rod look. :2vrolijk_21:

You didn't say.... You going to keep it (be one hell of a shop bike) or is it for sale? Damn I need to win the Lottery if it's for sale. ;D And... oh yeah... I'd bet you would be able to get (or more than) what somebody is asking for their 001/900 "Annie" FLTRXSE2. :D :D

That and a fly-ride bike... hell... I wouldn't have to think long or hard if that was an option to come ride on the left coast. ;D But then I'd want to buy it. :nervous:
