Variety Is The Spice Of LifeThis month's issue of Hot Rod's Bike-Works is filled with great variety of articles for every type of gearhead and riding enthusiast, from the FemMoto event (sponsored by Buell Motorcycles) that encourages women to become more active in the motorcycle community to an oil filter that reduces parasitic drag and frees up 4-horsepower.
Barry and Al from Top Shelf Customs far exceeded our expectations and finished the "Back to the Sixties" panhead project. They built an incredible bike out of mostly new parts with undeniable styling derived from the sixties (hence the name of the project).
If you're looking to get a used bike, we've got an article on the five best used Harleys from 2000-2006. We provided the information you need to know about each bike and the approximate amount you should expect to pay. Check back next month for the best used Harley to buy from the 1990-2000 model lines.
