When he brought the Road Glide to Martin Bros Customs, Gary Hopper wanted select tweaks with a focus on a stand-out custom flame job and that’s exactly what the shop gave him. A lot of changes were made to the bike they just weren’t on the extreme end.

Gary kept the Twin Cam powerplant stock Harley-Davidson if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right? It seems Hopper favored reliability over running a street-legal drag racing mill ‘twixt his frame rails. ‘“Mild’” is also a suggestive term in the custom world. The finished bike is a 2010 Harley-Davidson Road Glide, measuring 96 cubic inches in the displacement department. In Gary’s case, he was pretty happy with his stock bagger and only wanted a few changes here and there to make it stand out without sacrificing the ride quality he enjoyed.

Every rider has their own ideas about what works best for them in a bike, from stock to crazy wild. This bagger is a great example of knowing what you want before undertaking the customization journey. You can always start mild and go wild later, right? Or, as in the case of Gary Hopper’s machine, you do both at the same time. Having an idea of what you want beforehand is almost always the way to go*, both for you and your wallet. If you don’t know how deep down the rabbit hole you want to go, it can turn into a cash-sucking sinkhole on the quick. How custom do you want to go? That’s the first question I think anyone should answer when entertaining the personalization of a motorcycle.
