Hardbikes is pleased to announce the introduction of its RC 200, an easy-on-the-pocketbook chopper with looks, value, and power to burn. Designed as an introductory custom motorcycle, its components include parts from Weld Wheels, Hawg Halters, and Tech Starters, along with a Torian exhaust pipe by D&D Performance, Primo beltdrives, and a Rivera clutch for a base price of $22,500.

The base unit comes with an old-school single-downtube rigid frame, 4-inch backbone stretch, 6-inch downtube stretch, and 38 degrees of rake. A brilliant 96-inch S&S engine with IST ignition transfers power to an LSD five-speed tranny that smokes the 200mm meat in the back. The chopper’s retro design signifies a combination of ’60s looks and 21st-century technology, providing a ride that not only looks good but also turns, stops, and accelerates like a cruiser.

Hardbikes buyers build their own bike by logging on to the Hardbikes website and selecting parts from a huge list in a program called the Design Wizard. After the design is complete, owners then sit down with their local dealer/designer to be *** for the bike according to their physical dimensions and riding style.

If cool is the look you’re going for, then old-school motorcycles were the way to go in 2006—and AMC1902 believes this trend will continue. Nimble, lightweight, and fast, the new ’06-’07 “Ol’ School Bobber” will be offered to customers in either the 96ci S&S or the 110ci RevTech motor. All Ol’ School bikes are rigids with a left-side chain drive utilizing a standard six-speed transmission. The Ol’ School Bobber comes with a killer Springer frontend that stands out in a crowd.

D&D Performance Enterprises helped Bikernet.com celebrate its 10-year anniversary by sponsoring Bikernet’s world’s-fastest panhead sportbike, called the “Salt Shaker.” Bikernet’s pilot, Valerie Thompson, set a new national record of 141.465 mph during the Bonneville Speed Trials by BUB. As the week progressed, the team ran as fast as 145 mph, putting the Salt Shaker in the record books.

To support Bikernet and the 5 Ball Racing team, D&D Performance Exhaust produced a stepped pipe design that starts out at 1-3/4 inch and increases to 1-7/8 to 2 inches and flares into a 2-1/8-inch outlet pipe diameter. The design of the land-speed racing pipe was integral to the performance of the Accurate Engineering panhead high-performance engine.

“We couldn’t have done it without D&D,” explained Keith “Bandit“ Ball, owner of Bikernet.com. “Dave Rash, president of D&D Performance Enterprises, consulted with Berry Wardlaw of Accurate on the design and flow of the heads to come up with the best possible formula.”

The Salt Shaker racebike is a John Reed–designed Custom Chrome sportbike chassis, powered by an Accurate Engineering 120-inch panhead engine, D&D Performance Exhaust LSR pipes, Baker six-speed transmission, and BDL beltdrive. The world’s first and fastest panhead sportbike was constructed by Bandit and John VanTrump in the Bikernet Headquarters. The entire chassis is Custom Chrome with the exception of a La Pera seat.

For 2007, Bandit is optimistic, saying, “We want a open-chassis panhead to slip through the traps at over 200 mph.”
