Heavy Duty | Issue #205 Mar-Apr, 2026
Bet you noticed the Zeitgeist Servi-Car before the Indian Sport Chief RT. Bright red and sitting at the top of the page makes it hard to miss!
Issue 205 of HEAVY DUTY is a smorgasbord of old, not-so-old and brand-new bikes. We’ve had a close look at the 2026 Harley Touring range as well as the 2026 Trikes and share the news in our March/April 2026 issue.
Road tests from Paul Bailey of the 2026 Indian Sport Chief RT and 2025 Harley-Davidson Road Glide give you the answers about riding those two bikes on Australian roads.
If you want older stuff, there’s a supercharged Evo Softail, and an Evo-powered FXR. For something a bit more modern, there’s a Twin Cam Softail.
Because so many of us love even older stuff, we bring you a 1927 J Model with a backstory almost as impressive as the actual bike. We also checked out the Hand Shifters battle for a taste of life when bikes only needed three-speeds.
On The Tools this issue deals with making the brakes on a Shovel Wide Glide better without spending a fortune.
All of this as well as more custom bikes, Westy’s Shed, and real Tech Torq from folk with grease under their fingernails.
