This 1997 Harley-Davidson was disassembled and completely
redesigned and rebuilt to resemble a customized 1940’s —
1950’s motorcycle. Every single component was modified or customized
to enhance the old school theme. The result is a perfect blend of
modern performance and handling combined with the look of 1950’s
custom.
Frame and Swing Arm
All joints, seams, and castings were ground smooth. Unused brackets
were removed. Seams were welded for added strength. The Upper and
lower steering head, seat bracket, and swing arm tube castings were
re-shaped and finished.
Engine and Transmission
“Panhead” style rocker boxes were added along with a Crane
cam, Mikuni carburetor, Screaming Eagle ignition and air filter assembly.
The heads, intake manifold, cylinders and engine cases were re-finished
in mat black.
