Looks counted a lot though. Even when it came to the powerplant. Rudy chromed it out, keeping the stock guts mostly intact. Although he didn’t want a full-on drag motor, more midrange grunt was what he really wanted out of his Twin Cam. To that end, he went with an S&S gear drive, a K&N airbox, and Samson pipes.
Loud pipes might save lives, but it’s the loud music that makes those lives worth living. Rudy took care of the audio part of his happiness equation with six Rockford Fosgate and Pioneer speakers on his bagger. This sweet beauty being his daily commute bike, why shouldn’t he enjoy it as thoroughly as possible? “I call it my family mobile,” Rudy Alba said. “Occasionally though I like to ride my Softail to bike nights and local events, but as far as riding goes, nothing beats a bagger.”
