All unused frame tabs/mounts have either been removed and remaining have been re-welded and smoothed. Headlight is Sportster style and handlebars are 1″ drag with HD controls. Motor remains stock with the exception of a Boyer ignition, Mac headers and K&N filters. The tank has the tunnel lowered and the bottom has been flushed and mounted Frisco style. The engine cradle is stock from the neck to the rear motor mounts but everything else has been modified or built from scratch. Once I took possession of the bike I determined that I wanted to build it using the stock suspension, stretching the swing-arm 3″ and relocating the upper shock mount forward and lower, then using Progressive 10-1/2″ shocks. We had talked about what could be done with this bike but he died before we could start the project. He knew that I had not much interest in HD’s (basically seen one seen them all) and had built several alternatives over the years BSA’ s Honda’s and Yamaha’s. I had originally painted it for him as his budget did not allow for a Harley. The bike was given to me by my sister after the death of her husband.
