Big Audio Dyn-o-mite! Badass Blue Bike Rocks Chicago
Bigger is better when it comes to horsepower, decibels, and wheel diameter, as proven at the 58th annual World of Wheels auto show.
Just how important is music to you when you’re riding your motorcycle? For some, it’s an afterthought — the music of the wind, the engine, and the outside world is enough. For others, music is an integral part of the riding experience.
The builder of this blue bagger is definitely in the latter category. In fact, we wouldn’t hesitate to say that music is the most important part of the ride for them.
It’s easy to see why we thing that. We lost count of how many speakers are stuffed into every nook and cranny of this incredible custom Harley-Davidson motorcycle. We counted at least a dozen, and we’re pretty sure that we’ve missed a few speakers here and there.
Of course, there’s more going on here than just an entire Best Buy full of speakers. This is one seriously customized Road Glide. It’s obvious that the rest of the bike got almost as much attention as the stereo.
The massive front wheel may be trendy in the bagger scene right now, but there’s a good reason for it. It has a major visual impact, and makes a real statement. On a bike as over the top as this, it’s practically a requirement.
The custom speaker enclosures built into the Tour Pak and saddlebags integrate the design of the speakers as a styling feature. Some of the speakers even have custom billet aluminum grilles that resemble the custom front wheel.
The custom paint and upholstery complement each other. A variety of designs work together to grab your attention and hold on for dear life.
Motive power comes from an S&S 120R V-twin engine. That’s a pretty potent package, but it apparently wasn’t enough. Yes, that’s a Trask turbo kit bolted up to the already powerful engine.
It’s clear that the builder subscribes to the “go big or go home” philosophy. Big horsepower, big wheels, and big sound all come together to make this bagger a larger-than-life creation.
