Here
at Clayton Cycle Performance we want more than to satisfy our clients.
We aim to wow them with our "know-how," progressive
thinking, and means to get the job done. We regularly tear into
a motor to make it bigger, better and "bad ass" and,
as you can see here, we also offer sizzling options for customizing
your ride. Customizing your bike is only limited by your imagination
and we
are here to pass on the possibilities. We were honored when Dickie
Clark of Selma, NC left his Ultra Classic with us for such an astonishing
transformation. This touring bike underwent a complete change,
becoming a true Custom Bagger with custom sheet metal from Klock
Werks and Russ Wernimont Designs, Dakota Digital Replacement Guages,
Chromite Cables, Performance Machine Wheels, and new paint. This
turned out to be a rewarding opportunity for us. The sleek red
paint on this bike is brilliant in the sunlight as it contains
crushed glass--not metallic flakes. Paint & bodywork by Ham's
Paint & Auto
Body.
The
transformation to this bike was vast. We'll share a sample
of the job with you. It is hard to know where to begin so we'll
just get right to it.

Custom
Fender, Wheel, Rotors...
An
area with great visual impact on this bike is the front end. We
installed a Klock
Werks Benchmark Front Fender on a 21" Performance Machine
Roulette Wheel with matching Performance Machine Roulette Rotors.
The Rotors are 13" in
diameter instead of the stock 11 1/2". This allows for increased
stopping power over stock. Also installed are Performance Machine
six
piston calipers.

Werks WFB Saddlebag Extensions,
Double Cut for Tru Dual Exhaust. Saddlebag Extensions have a wider

are known for.

Russ
Wernimont Designs Rear Fender Extension with Filler Panel extends
the fender 4” over OEM. Extension & Filler Panel are heavy
18-gauge raw steel construction and designed to fill in and extend
the rear
of the fender for a street glide look
J
& M Speakers (below)
Such
a stylish bike requires excellent sound. We replaced the stock
speakers with J
& M Fairing Speakers. These 5” high-performance
speakers are direct replacements for factory speakers and feature
waterproof cones and high-efficiency voice coils. |

LED
Rear Lighting & Chrome Exhaust Caps
This
sharp lighting system comes from Kuryakyn. This is the laydown
Panacea tail light and it illuminates the license plate as
well.
It plugs into OEM wiring on 96-08 Softail (except
FXSTD, 05-08 FLSTN
and
FLSTS),
97-08 FXD, 97-08 FLT and 99-03 XL models. This tail light/blinker combination
performs the function
of
run/brake
light and turn signals. It has over 300 LEDs which make you more visible. You
will
also notice the Deluxe
Bullet Rear Turn Signal/Light Bar Kit which gives the
rear fender a clean and uncluttered look.
Kit includes Küryakyn's Bullet Light rear turn signal bar, curved
license plate frame and rear bar accent to hide the stock mounting holes.
Also
pictured
are the Panacea
Rear Turn Signal Inserts. When brakes are applied, turn signals give a
three-pulse “flash” and then stay bright red; amber turn signal will
continue to flash when the brakes are applied. Turn signals are red in standard
running mode; LED flashes amber when turn
signal is selected.
Continuing
with the chrome look we replaced the Rinehart signature black exhaust
end caps with chrome ones.

This
horn cover has a beautiful chrome finish and is designed for horns
that are located between the cylinders. |
Progressive
Airtail™ I.A.S. Shocks & Compressor Kit
These
Shocks come
standard with a manual fill system; however we installed the optional
on-board air compressor kit for Dressers which gives maximum
adjustability and on-the-fly suspension control. This system uses
a linear rate coil combined with dual-chamber air shocks for a smooth
ride
and ultimate suspension control. It has an integrated air and coil
shock absorber. Inertia Active System (I.A.S.) with Inertia Valve
technology separates wheel movement from chassis movement. The
first air chamber adjusts ride height and the other air chamber is
for bottoming control and adjusting suspension
for
the
bike’s
load.

Chrome
Handlebar Control Kits
& Chromite Cables
This switch
housing kit allows you to customize the most visible area the
factory overlooked – the
handlebar
controls. Chrome die-cast clutch/brake controls with switch housings are sold
in
complete
kits or as individual components. OEM wires and switches mount directly into
these housings, so there is no need
for new wires and switches. FLTR/FLHT
Lower Switch Housings
We
also installed steel braided Sterling Chromite II cables. Chromite
cables look like chrome and are covered with a non-yellowing
crystal-clear Teflon® outer jacket for exceptional protection against scuffing
paint or chrome.
Take
note that we buried the electrical wiring in the"Wild
1"
1 1/4" diameter Chubby handlebars for a clean and uncluttered
look. These handlebars have polished welds and are diamond knurled
with a show-chrome finish.
