Back from Daytona and Regrouping for Donnie Smith…

The truck and road krew survived the chilly Daytona temperatures during Bike Week and made it back home to rainy South Dakota.  But the Daytona cold weather did not keep the people away, and we had a great event.  The 8.5″ FLARE Windshields were definitely our top seller and our “TRY it Before you BUY it” FREE demo rides were a hit (even with the cold temperatures and rain).

Now it is time for our krew to catch up, reload the truck and get ready for the Donnie Smith Show which is the next event on our schedule.  After the Donnie Smith Show, the truck will head out on the road for Arizona Bike Week and Laughlin River Run.

In the meantime, Laura Klock is taking her ANY ROAD presentation on the road to West Virginia.  She will be the featured speaker at Garage Parties on Thursday, March 11 at the West Virginia Harley Davidson and Saturday, March 13 at the New River Gorge Harley Davidson.  She will also be featured at a Women’s Only Garage Party at J&L Harley Davidson in Sioux Falls, SD on March 27.

Continue to check back to our website www.kustombaggers.com for updates on our event schedule and letting you all know where we are going to be next.

Focus on Fillers

If you haven’t noticed, there is an ugly gap between the saddlebags and fender on the back of your stock bike.  But don’t worry - you can clean up that area and hide all those mounting brackets!  Klock Werks has a variety of FILLER options to smooth out the backside.  Klock Werks Fillers are the only STEEL fillers designed to be used with or without detachables.  We’ve spent time developing a number of styles to make it easy for you to create your own look.  We have all fitments from fillers that fit with leather bags on your Road King Classic, to stock extended bags, and versions PRE-CUT for our round, cateye and oval lights.  We even have one piece fillers for your 2009+ baggers.  Klock Werks fillers are constructed from 16-gauge steel and e-coated for rust and corrosion resistance.  Check out our website (www.kustombaggers.com) and be sure to call us at (605) 996-3700 if you have any questions.

New Versions of the Original FLARE Windshield Set to Debut at Cincy

The Original FLARE Windshield from Klock Werks providing downforce in more sizes than ever before.  The new 8.5″ size is available in tint, dark smoke, and black versions set to debut at Cincy in 2010.  Along with a never before seen version for Softails and Road Kings.

Named 2009 V-Twin Expo Product of the Year, the FLARE offers a sexy look but it is more than just a look.  The “hips” at the outer edge of the shield re-route the wind to add 15 lbs. of downforce to the front of the bike, which aids in stability vs. using a stock shield.  The “flip” at the top of the FLARE is designed to kick the air up and then allow it to flow back as “clean” air for the rider.  So, if you have a stock windshield and are looking to add a sexy windshield as an option, the FLARE adds downforce and looks great!

We would like to say thanks for a fabulous year of fun and camaraderie.  Stop by booth #629 at the V-Twin Expo to see the NEW innovation from the Design Team at Klock Werks.

If you are unable to make it to Cincy, stay tuned to www.kustombaggers.com for more information on new parts!

Preparing for the Super Bowl

Now that the holidays are over and the new year has come, the Krew is getting all geared up for the V-Twin Expo in Cincinnati - the Super Bowl of the motorcycle industry.  The V-Twin Expo is the kick-off of the show season and the first chance to debut all new parts for 2010.  We are exciting about debuting some kool new Klock Werks stuff…keep watching this blog and website for updates on all the new Klock Werks parts!

One of Klock Werks newest parts is featured in Brian’s column in IronWorks, March 2010.  Make sure to read his column and learn more about Klock Werks newly developed cafe style fairing.  Laura and Melissa are quoted in the 2009 AMA Women’s Convention article on page 26 and congrats to our friends, Shane and Jeremy of LC Fabrications, for their bike feature on page 42.  It was fun being a part of your AMD World Championship experience in Sturgis!

Check out the Klock Werks Daytona Giveaway bike on the cover of American Iron, March 2010.  The feature story is on page 58 and the last installation tech article is on page 118.  Thanks to Chris of American Iron for putting together a great feature and step-by-step story of the build and to Michael Lichter for capturing the beauty of the bike in the pictures.

Also, be sure to pick up Cycle Source, February 2010 for the first of three features on the story of Dave Dunn’s (Laura Klock’s dad) rebuilding of his bike and life after a serious motorcycle accident during the Sturgis Rally in 2008.  This is an amazing story of how a life-threatening motorcycle accident can lead to positive change in one’s life.

Keep working on those New Years Resolutions…it takes 21 days to make it a habit!!

Thankful for 2009 and Looking Forward to 2010

As 2010 has now arrived, what better time to reflect on 2009.  Although many seem extremely excited about 2009 coming to an end because of the economy, unpredictable weather patterns, and other tragic events - the Krew at Klock Werks has much to be thankful for in 2009.  New Land Speed Records, new parts to the Klock Werks partsline, addition of new employees, new joint venture with Kiwi Indian Motorcycle Company, new friends met along the way, and many more blessings.

But the Krew is also excited about what 2010 holds - the known and the unknowns.  And to kick off the 2010 event season, Klock Werks will be debuting many new parts at the V-Twin Expo in Cincinnati, February 6-8.  Look for updates on www.kustombaggers.com and press releases with further information about new products and the latest in Klock Werks news!

If you are flipping through the latest motorcycle magazines, make sure to check out Hot Bike Baggers (March 2010) “Klockin the Standard: Part Four” (page 50) and American Iron (February 2010) “2010 Daytona Giveaway Bike” (page 106)!  The 2010 Daytona Giveaway Bike will be featured on the cover of American Iron, March 2010 - so make sure to get a copy!  Also flip through American Bagger (February 2010) and check out the feature on page 78 - “Got Wood”.  Dan Krueger is a great friend and this was a fun Klock Werks project…definitely one-of-a-kind!

It is not too late to make those New Years Resolutions and don’t just focus them on you…include your bike as well as your family and friends - more trips to the gym, more consistent oil changes and washes for your bike, more time with friends and family, slow down and take time to here the wind, more rides with friends…if you are not a person that likes to make New Years Resolutions, just do whatever you can to enjoy 2010 and take advantage of every minute you have with friends and family!

Here are some New Years Resolutions from the Klock Werks Krew:

“I would like to be a more positive person and cut out the negatives.”

“Hit the gym at least three times a week and pay off all credit card debt.”

“Being a person of integrity is the mother of all resolutions.  If you say you’ll do something, then do it.  That’s integrity.  So if you shoot for that and say “I want to lose 20 pounds”, it’s covered because you’ve worked towards integrity as a goal!  That’s what I’m shooting for.”

“To further develop my position within Klock Werks Kustom Cycles, as I personally grown in all aspects of my life, thus enabling me to contribute more to the team.”

“I have one - to improve me.  Also would like to read my daily devotional and spend more time working on the backyard.”

“For me, I have the gym membership and now it’s time to use it.  I need to create a new habit.  I need to start getting to bed early and waking up early so I can get in the gym every morning to break a good sweat.  My ultimate goal is to slim down and loose 40-50 lbs.  I have wanted to go to the Keith Code race school since 1992 - usually been too fat or too broke, usually both.  I want to take my new Buell to a track day in Brainerd, MN. I also want to make a few weekend trips to the drag strip…For my family, patience, understanding and communication are all things I need to work on.”

“Live like there’s no tomorrow, love like you’ve never been hurt and dance like no one is watching.”

“I have quite a few unfinished bikes and a 1970 Chevrolet truck that I would like to see progress on.  As for myself, I hope to continue to learn to be a better leader for my family and my team.  God has blessed me with so much I feel a strong sense of growth in my understanding of His vision for my life is eminent.  I will continue to read, observe, study and learn.  Any small improvements in just taking care of my self physically would be a giant leap.”

Klock Werks Build Daytona Give-away Bike for 2010

Each year, the Daytona Beach Community Foundation holds a drawing for the official Bike Week motorcycle.  The 2010 Rally bike was designed and build by the Klock Werks Design Team.

“Daytona has long held a tradition of bringing all forms of motorcycling to a one-week kick-off in March.  We at Klock Werks are honored to be joining forces with American Iron and the Daytona Chamber of Commerce to create the first give-away “kustom” bagger for Daytona Bike Week 2010,” said Klock Werks President, Brian Klock.  “There is nothing that signifies the kick-off to the riding season like leaving a long South Dakota winter and heading for Daytona with a new creation.  The racing, the international riders that attend…there truly is no other event like Daytona.  See you there!”

Unlike other bike drawings, this drawing is quite unique because only 4500 tickets are sold, the tickets only cost $50 each, the bike is valued at $35,000, it is a one-of-a-kind, AND American Iron Magazine will feature the complete build - from frame to masterpiece!
