Slave 1

Postby Davicus » Sat Oct 17, 2009 7:56 pm

My new build... in progress. s&s 103" pan. 1985 rotary top HD tranny. kick only. Harley touring wheels.

Front fairing... going to cut a couple inches off the bottom of it still. Just trying to figure out it's positioning. Going to have one 4" offset headlight, and one PIAA high intensity mini light.
Image
Been thinking about doing a rear section like this, but never tried it till now. Took me about 8 hours today to get this far... not sure how I'm feeling about it. thoughts? opinions? I'd gladly welcome them. It may double as an oil bag... not sure.
Image
The tank is an early 80's FLH tank. Split it, took about 5 inches out of the middle. The aluminum panel flips up, and there is a small recess where I'll hide my fuse box.
Image
New triple trees. They are steel, and available for 39 or 41 tubes, in either narrow glide or wide glide width, with either 1" or 2" steering offset.
Image
FXWG sliders... I cut 3" out of them and re-welded them ala Cole Foster in his BBO. Alot harder than I thought.

Looks like a mix between a bagger and a speedster...

Big props Dave...it looks great. Love the headlight/fairing arangement. Dig the front mount on the gas tank!!!
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Looks good, seems to have a Mad Max feel to it. I think it needs a sidecar.

+1 looks a bit like Toecutter's Kawi. I dig it. I'd like it better if the tail section were a little longer. Can you hide the oil tank in there?
