10 Foot Flames!

I know what your thinking! 10 foot flames on a bike no, this was my first attempt of painting Hot Rod flames on my bike so it looked great from 10 feet away!!!, it was an everyday rider so no one had a good change to look close at 60 mph down I-95

Green Flames On A Bagger?

"The Motor"

The  Motor ( a true story) a good friend of mine was redoing a 58 PanHead, with all the latest and great parts of the time  STD heads etc, so I asked what he was going to do with his old parts he cheerfully sold them to me at a bargain and and i had some left over parts from other projects and a bottom end that my older brother had found me up in Indiana in some guys basement.we built this motor for about $750 and it ran!!!!!!



Specs
  • 1974 Shovelhead bottom end
  • 1958 Pan heads and cylinders
  • 1980 80" shovel pistons
  • S&S intake
  • 91 CV carb
  • Dyna S dual fire ignition

So as the story went with a little help with an adapt-o kit we got this thing together after making external oilers in the heads,milling the cylinders down so we TDC the thing actually ran and it ran good, unfortunately I sold the motor, but I still know where it is and he ain't used it yet maybe some day I'll get it back
