from Twin Power. Obviously, we got
the wheels on the bike and wrapped
them in Metzeler ME888s. We put the
EBC wave rotors and EBC brake pads
on the wheels, too,” Stinsman says.
In addition to dialing the engine in,
he’s also been busy dressing it up with a
slew of billet covers from Ken’s Factory.
Shop owner Ken Nagai is an immensely
talented custom bike builder in his own
right who makes killer aftermarket
parts. Ken’s Factory came up huge, the
list of contributions including rocker,
cam, and pushrod covers, a transmission
top, and a clutch cover.
“Ken makes the coolest looking billet
stuff I’ve seen,” Stinsman adds.
With the engine and tail end sporting
a racy new look, the front end of the
stock Super Glide needed a little love as
well. The old bars were ditched for a set
by a Memphis Shades front cowl.
Tucked behind the cowl is a clean Acewell

the most part the bike’s done,” Stinsman
says. Of course, he added he’ll
have to take a test ride to give it a good
shakedown and “make sure everything’s
good.” Yeah, we’re sure that’s
the reason, George. Shoot, seeing how
this bike’s coming together, we’d love
to give it a good shakedown, too!

Some shaping of the tracker tail was necessary for a
