eard about Alloy Art? How about the Gooden-Tites handlebar mount—are you stocking and selling it? That Gooden-Tites kit is just about a guaranteed best-seller, and that’s not all Alloy Art has to offer. There are grips, clamps, risers and foot pegs, and some of the slickest and trickest gauge mounts and lighting you’ll find anywhere.

Robbie Lane is obsessed with making every part look good. Here is an Alloy Art Dyna Strut Light.
     




      Alloy Art began just three years ago when Robbie Lane couldn’t find the parts he wanted for his own motorcycles. “I searched, too,” he says, “looking at everything, paying real attention to how it was made and how it fit the bike. What I wanted just wasn’t available.” So he made it, starting with those Gooden-Tites. Having just added a set of ape-hangar bars to one of his bikes he was appalled at just how much those bars flexed and rocked around in their mount. Realizing that if he was having this problem there were probably plenty of other guys in the same boat, he came up with a mount that would still dampen vibration yet eliminate all that flexing. That was the Gooden-Tites, and without getting too technical about it these clamps incorporate injection-molded polyurethane and one-piece washer and barrel machined aluminum end caps. Whether you have ape-hangers, or beach bars, or any sort of high-rise/high leverage handlebar, the Gooden-Tites keep them just that way—good and tight, but with no vibration.

    Coming from a mold making/plastic injection/die-casting background, Robbie’s been in machine shops since he was a kid. “I guess you can say I’m obsessed about making parts look good, too,” he says. “Streamlined, with everything centered.” Directional signals hung way out on stalks, clunky foot pegs, gauges that seem to have been stuck just anywhere—that’s what drives this guy crazy, and what those Alloy Art pieces try to eliminate. The flush-mount turn signals, for example, fit right over the stock Harley-Davidson struts, but fit so tight and smooth they just about disappear. Same thing with the Softail footpegs. They fold into the lines of the frame. Robbie also “tries to hide all the bolts and wires, too, and make everything an easy and quick installation.” And the parts work. The guts of an Alloy Art light, for instance, are sourced from the automotive industry, and with the LEDs featuring a 70-degree viewing range these small and streamlined lights really show up. All that’s right in line with the Alloy Art philosophy of using the finest materials available, the best stuff around. It’s all CNC machined right in-house, too.

All of Alloy Art’s items are created using the finest materials available. A Stem Mount Gauge Assembly is shown here.

 

 

 

     “And I’m always listening to what riders have to say,” Robbie finishes up. “I pay attention to what they’re wishing was on the market. That’s what I’ll come up with next.” There are currently more than 50 Alloy Arts items in the FatBook so far. Check with your rep. He’ll get you set up with everything you, and your customers, can’t find anywhere else.
