You want to see more custom baggers in different styles. And if I show you this one belonging to the new wave started of touring motorcycles built from the ground up, it’s not only for its smooth lines but also because it was created using only parts proudly made in America. Because an American Builder and American vendors united to create it, this dark liner is appropriately called “Team Player.” Long and low, this beautiful and powerful highway black limo is a showcase of some of the best US manufactured motorcycle components, although many of them have been modified and or adapted by its builder A1 Cycles in Florida for a visual result looking almost as fluid as water.
So, in one way, from builder creating some parts from scratch to catalog parts used as is or modified, it’s a tribute to our American ingenuity. I personally wish that it inspires others to use some of the brands that met together on this gorgeous touring bagger. The honor list includes: An Independent Cycle Inc drop neck Lowlife frame with Legend Air Suspension. A T.P. Engineering Big Twin, 121″. EVO motor producing 120 hp with 125 foot-pounds of torque together with Santee black ceramic coated exhaust (1st picture show them in chrome.) Baker Drivetrain Right Side Drive 6-speed transmission. Rear braking via GMA inside-out brake pulley. Front braking by Hawg Halters “Black Out” four-piston caliper and 13″ floating rotor. Black wheels are from Renegade, front size 21 x 3.5″, rear size 18 x 10″ both dressed with Metzeler tires. Hawg Halters Inc :Black Out” Smoothie Wide Glide front forks with stock length / neck rake of 42 degrees. 5 3/4″ Headwinds headlight. HHI foot controls. One-off gas tank, fenders & grips made by A1 Cycles. Corbin fairing and bags modified by A1 Cycles. Speedo by Dakota Digital and rear flush mount lightning by Russ Wernimont.
Yesterday I saw again “Team Player” (shop is not far away). It’s a very cool, strong & plush ride and fits me like a glove I just learned that the bike is listed for sale (you qualify is you are at least 5.5′ tall). Contact Mike Belland at 561-784-2992. A1 Cycles,
Nice sled.
Like it but the rear bags are a little bit too bulky for my taste.
Slick…TP engineering still in business?
Pretty neat trick being able to switch between chrome and black on the pipes!
Bad Ass….long wheel base will make for a smooth ride at high speeds….maybe….love to take it for a spin
I like that it looks like it was Built for a Dood that’s at least 6’2″ and maybe as tall as 6’6″. I am tired of seeing most of the Bikes Stock and Custom Built for 5’10” Jocky’s.That’s thinking “Around The Box” ! Nice Bike, A 1.
Now THAT’S a sweet bagger.
If Harley could make their baggers looking like that they would sell quite a few. Better than an over priced HD CVO bagger..
Looks like something Arlen Ness built 15 years ago…
i love this bike , and may i say ( it really flys)!! super clean ,low and mean … great job to A 1 cycles!!! see you on the track mike…
Another sweet ride getting all the attention…
Nice job Mike…
THANKS GUYS, IM 6 FEET AND IT FITS ME PERFECT, YES ITS FAST, YES IT GETS 36 MPG AND YES I DRIVE IT..RODE420 ROUND TRIP MILES TO DAYTONA 2 WEEKS AGO…4.6 GALLONS IN THE TANK. AND AS FAR AS SOMETHING ARLENN NESS BUILT 15 YEARS AGO….GUESS IM BEHIND THE CURVE, BUT IF ITS ANYONES CURVE IM BEHIND IM THANKFULL ITS HIS! I APPRECIATE ALL THE COMMENTS…WAIT TILL YOU SEE MY NEXT BIKE. BUSA REAR, NINJA FRONT, CUSTOM FRAME, BIG INCH TURBO HARLEY , FUEL INJECTED. STREET RACER…JUST NEED SOME PROCEEDS FROM SELLING THIS ONE TO FINISH.
When are the masses going to realize motorcycles are ten times cooler then cars?
A nearly perfect commuter bike! Very nice!
cyril forgot to mention..the fairing is quick release and the bags unbolt with 6 bolt (captive nut fasteners) one allen wrench and 5 minutes your back to a pro-street look. a true “convertible”,,roll around town stripped, then bolt your travelling bags and windshield back on for the highway
It looks like the Honda Fury with a fairing.
good job A-1.
your turbo project sounds like a great project. Good Luck.
just finished a 124″ twin cam turbo, expect extensive road testing, soon.
ray usa

RUB. All baggers must look the same to you! Not to me. They don’t look the same at all.
Redneck came out after me… Sorry, this bike isn’t new
Like this Bagger very much. Those who criticize sound like local competitors of this builder.
It looks like a fun and comfortable ride, if tall.
Rub !!! Always talking smack behind his key board… Bring something to plate !! Mr. ITALKALOTOFSHIT!!
Badass bike! Built right buy a Badass builder. I know A-1 Cycles, I know Mike, and he does it right the first time. NUFF SAID!!!!!!
Interesting look, I like it!
Cool to see a low life bagger………its still a great frame for any kind of build………i hope the new owners of the frame keep up the production and builders keep building low life frame bikes!!
CLASS.
Congrats on building a bike from American made products. So many times people want cheap which means imported parts. I’m at the opposite end of the spectrum, everything is built in America and what it costs is what it is. Quality counts. Craftsmanship counts. Made in America and keeping our own people working means something to some of us. Congrats A1.
It’s truly a great job Mike…
Very cool. Good clean lines. Definetely how a bagger should look!
BadAss Dresser Mike!! Seen it at the Rat Hole show a few years ago!
Bad ass bike from a bad ass builder! A1 RULES! And to rub and datruth jealousy is a disease get well soon bitches!
Love the creativity of this bike and other similar bikes I see here.
Good luck though not so sure it would do as well in all the rain we get here in the Northwest, but still looks like a very fun ride.
I do like the rear end as it flows unlike too many bikes built with the standard box bags on an otherwise very smooth looking ride.
Keep it up.
A1 , you sell it yet ? One would think with all positive comments it shouldn’t take long . Did Donkey make an offer ?
Very kul ! It is great to see Made in America proudly diplayed.
I want one.
