Project Ghost Glide 5/2009

 This ’99 Road Glide has been photographed more times than any Bagger in history. The Ghost

  Glide started life bone stock and was delivered to Hot Bike magazine in July 1998, a month later

  the Bagger made its maiden voyage to Sturgis. The bike was part of the Harley-Davidson® fleet

  and was eventually purchased from Harley. Originally the bike was painted an unflattering purple

  and was nicknamed Purple Rain. The stock motor was upgraded to a 95” and then to a 103”. The

  purple paint was redone with silver and maroon, by none other than Chopper legend Mike

  Maldonado. The stock five-speed gears were upgraded to six-speed gears. Four different sets of

  exhaust, numerous wheel changes, new fenders and a new tank have all graced this motorcycle. If

  someone made a new Bagger part, it went on this Road Glide. As the American Bagger aftermarket

  changed, this Bagger changed. Ten years in the making and she is finished.
