October '06Nick "New York Nick" GenenderNick's NYC Choppers is known for tough old school iron, and this Knuckle from our October '06 cover exemplifies that style. You'd be hard-pressed to find a custom bike book that hasn't featured one of his bikes in years past and present. | 
December '06Twisted ChoppersWith most shops, it's one owner, one vision. Twisted, however, has four owners: Jason Kangas, Kai Morrison, Chad Petit, and Jeff Ernst. Although the shop's only six years old, their creativity has catapulted them to prominence, as exemplified by this chopper we shot in Sturgis. | |
ShootoutsWe did a fair number of pipe shootouts on the dyno, but we went outside that box a couple of times in 2001, when we ran tests no other Harley magazine had run (or has since).
February '01Shock ShootoutWe borrowed sister mag SPORT RIDER's Drack data acquisition software to test rear suspension travel on a variety of shocks on our '95 Dyna. It was the first in a series of comparison articles dealing with non-motor parts.
March '01Glide vs. SpringerThe next logical step was testing frontends. Denver's Choppers provided us with a 14-over Springer while Custom Cycle Engineering donated a 14-over glide. We used a potentiometer to test each fork setup, with Mule 2 as our test bike.
April '01Brake CalipersThis time we took a bunch of aftermarket 4-piston calipers and measured stopping distances over a set course, with test rider Todd Canavan reviewing the pros and cons of each one.
