HEAVY DUTY Magazine - September - October 2020

In this issue

Welcome to the best time of year to be a rider in Australia. Temperatures in our favourite part of the world are warmer than they were last month but we haven’t yet reached those scorching summer days. Life in print is just as good. Goldfinger points the way on the cover along with Paul Bailey and Mick’s CVO Comparo. Are they the greatest H-D CVO Road Glide and Street Glide yet built? Of course they are but you need to have a read to see who prefers one bike over the other. Former publisher and good bloke Brum built himself a Heritage Classic. The Essendon footy fan had to paint it black and red, and just had to title it Project Bomber. He’s injected a generous dose of blackness into this glorious bike. Flicking through the mag you’ll soon find the poster and Australia’s first nine-second Bagger. That’s Alpha Performance Engines’ Mark Harris on his 143-cube FLHRXS. Flip the poster over to see Bikecraft’s latest Rocker build – a truly great bike that shows off Brad’s building skills. From the cover, Pega Custom Cycles’ Goldfinger V-Rod shines out from a few more pages inside. Those two bikes were found by Craig Pattison in downtown and locked-down Melbourne. All of this and more. On sale 4th September, 2020.

M8 Cooling And Venting Solutions

Since the advent of the Twin Cam engines, Harley-Davidson motorcycles have a history of running hot. Two factors come into this; neither of which is solely the fault of the Motor Company. The first of these is the plethora of government dictates on emissions which strangle much of the power – and the second one is what we, the owners, do to our motorcycles.

NZ Travel Bubble

We all love to get out and spend a day in the saddle. Whether you’re riding with a crowd of one or 101, a day riding always makes things better. Displaced Queenslander Phil Heath is a NZ resident and looks at the local riding roads with a different view to a Kiwi-born rider. Here’s how he spent a winter’s day riding round the Auckland area.
