When Laidlaw Crew Chief Keith Hurt
builds a custom bike, he makes sure
it's more than simply a collection of
parts. "I like to get components, parts
and accessories from other models of
bikes and figure out how to incorporate
them and make them fit on a different
model," he explains. "Like an update or
upgrade to the original, as if the factory
had made it that way in the first place."
The team calls its bike the "FXGTS
Coast Glide, "representing the
different pieces and parts that make
up the whole: "FX" for the dual-disc
brake front end, with mid controls.
"GT" for Grand Touring. "S" for the
sport styling – "paying homage to the
Sport Glide® model we started with."
And "Coast Glide" in honor of the
famous highway nearby.
THE WAIT IS OVER!

"Our project is a throwback to
the FXRT styling with a Southern
California twist, paying tribute to
the Pacific Coast Highway and the
Southern California influence on
modern performance cruisers," Keith
explains. As a concept, it covers a lot
of ground. As a design, it's far more
than the sum of its parts. And as a
2019 Battle of the Kings entry, it's
definitely one to be reckoned with.
