Road Glide Receives Mathematical Treatment

Baroque Bagger

Solve: one part Road Glide to the factor of Street Glide. The answer is Rhombus—a recent creation from Tommy & Sons, an innovative custom shop in Vilnius, Lithuania. While their hometown is better known for its baroque architecture rather than Baggers, Tommy & Sons use the latest methods to design unique body kits and aftermarket parts for Harley-Davidsons.

Diamond Transformation

The wild-looking ride started out as a stock 2019 Road Glide Ultra before getting its mathematical treatment. Adding to the swooping bodywork and go-fast-look is a teal and black paint job laid out in a faded diamond, or rhombus pattern. To start the transformation, the shop used their proprietary inner and outer HD Pro front fairing.

Seamless Styles

The Tommy & Sons hybrid fairing is fashioned after a Street Glide cowl, but made to fit a Road Glide headlight assembly. The result is a seamless blend of styles. They write, “It provides a completely new look for your Harley Davidson motorcycle.” Next on the project list was to massage the frontend to better fit the wider and longer bodywork.

Wrapper Geometry

Tommy & Sons firmly believe that the front wheel choice creates a big style impact on touring models. They chose a 21'' front rim, capped with their own Bulldog T&S Wrapper Front Fender for a smooth look. To get the bigger wheel geometry correct, the shop installed a set of 6 degree raked triple trees that were CNC-milled in house.

Billow Bags

The back end of the Road Glide got equal consideration. Leveling the ride stance is a 23'' tall wheel, along with a set of 13'' heavy duty Legend Suspension shocks. Capping off the rear is a Billow Rear/Side Set, a new design from Tommy & Sons. The bags and fender are stretched 5'' down and 10'' out compared to OEM saddlebags.

Separate Systems

Tommy & Sons also noted that the Billow Set makes for a “wide and stretchy look, with perfect clearance for daily driving.” Unlike other customizers, the shop did not ignore the essential premise of Harley-Davidson touring bikes—long-distance riding comfort. With this in mind, a bodywork-matching custom seat was installed that features separate heating systems for both the passenger and the rider.

Functional Bumping

Of course Tommy & Sons did not forget the other critical ingredient to long-hauls—a bumping stereo. Six IP65 weatherproof speakers and two amplifiers more than take care of any auditory monotony. Completing the styling package, the Road Glide was fitted with the shop's own accessories including angular Hexa floorboards and functional upgrades like LED lighting all around.

Easy Equation

Travel to the small Baltic state is not necessary as Tommy & Sons ships worldwide, in addition, to select distributors in the United States. They are dedicated to the enthusiast and offer a full range of custom fabrication services. They also note that quality items do not have to “destroy your wallet.” Now that seems like an easy equation to solve!
