Case Study

Harley-Davidson After-Market Accessories – Cuck Taggart

The Creator

Chuck Taggart is a custom motorcycle parts maker and popular YouTube channel creator (@CLTaggart) who has been creating custom lowers (loudspeakers) for Harley-Davidson Road Glides. He is passionate about creating high-quality parts that are both stylish and functional.

Chuck’s YouTube channel, CLTaggart, features a variety of videos about custom motorcycle parts, including his own set of lowers for the Harley-Davidson Road Glide. 

The Challenge

Chuck was challenged to create a new set of lowers for the Harley-Davidson Road Glide that would address several of the shortcomings of the original lowers. He wanted to create lowers that were wider at the top, sat further out from the bike, and had a cavity inside that could be used to store speakers or other items. He also wanted to make the lowers easier to install and use.

 

The Solution

Chuck owns three Modix 3D printers, Modix BIG 120X , BIG-120XZ and BIG-40. These large-format 3D printers can produce parts up to two feet wide, two feet high, and four feet long. The printer are also known for their reliability and ease of use.

Chuck used a Modix 3D printer to solve both challenges and produce his own speaker housing based on this innovative design. The Modix 3D printers’ large format and versatility in materials allowed Chuck to print the lowers in one piece, eliminating seams and joints for a stronger, more durable product.

In addition, the Modix 3D printer also allowed him to create a complex and lightweight design for the folding hard top that would have been difficult or impossible to produce using traditional techniques.

The Modix 3D printer was essential to developing both of these products. It also helps the creator to manufacture a small in-house batch of speakers to kick-start production without investing in expensive molds required for injection molding parts.
