This is probably the most famous custom motorcycle / chopper ever! it was built & shown long, long before the two Pan heads from the movie "easyrider" This restoration of the Mega cycle is more like two jobs in one, I love the Show Rod & Custom car Stuff But I have Many, Many years in the Custom Chopper & Motorcycle world. Building Bikes & doing paint work for everyone from everyday saddle tramps to Hollywood
Movie "A" listers. I gotta say It was fun to do a full molding job on a bike again, Yah I still have sore fingers but look at that paint job, Yup It was worth it! The bike has proven to be a pain in the butt trying to find parts, and custom chopper relics for a brit bike aint easy either. I'm still waiting on some stuff but I'll start lacing & truing the wheels and getting the engine & tranny back together. All that chrome is going to look "Absolutely Bitchin" once it finds its back into that candy frame!

Stay Well every one,
FRITZ

You should rebuild it with a 10 inch slot-mag at the back & car tire, plus an air-cooled 900 Kawi motor and a girder front end.

Like, nostalgically update it.
