2016 H-D Street Glide Isn’t Your Average Bagger

H-D Street Glide

Custom baggers are everywhere these days, so to make them stand out a lot of builders go absolutely bonkers. Flashy paint jobs and graphics, fire breathing exhausts, and miles of chrome are their preferred methods for getting attention. But, sometimes, as in the case of this 2016 H-D Street Glide, simple and understated is better.

You won’t find any chrome on this bagger, nor will you even find a clear coat. What you will find is one seriously cool matte blue paint job that is super modern, as well as acres of black powdercoating. It’s a nice change from the status quo and gives the bike a really unique look.

Even the 26″ Renegade Tahoe front wheel was given the powdercoat treatment. Wrapping around that big wheel and tire combo is a Fatkatz front fender, and the aggressive stance comes courtesy of an American suspension rake kit.

Nothing was left untouched on this bagger. There’s the Arlen Ness smooth front fork, Top Shop raked front fairing, and 12 inch Todd’s cycle bars. The mirrors are also Arlen Ness, and PM supplied the grips, floorboards, pegs, engine cover, and shifter arms.

Even though this bike was built to stand apart from your typical bagger, it still has an outrageous $2,000 stereo system. Things have been seriously upgraded in the power department as well. In addition to Woods cams, the engine has received a performance tune that undoubtedly makes it sound fantastic.

While everybody else cruises around in their chromed-out, fancy graphic-laden, flame throwing baggers, you can still make an equally loud statement with this anti-bagger bagger. It still has all of the cool stuff without being too over the top. But don’t be fooled – you’ll still be the star of the show when you roll up on this sweet 2016 H-D Street Glide.  And you can do just that, because it’s for sale.
