America is full of Harleys. THese are bikes that Americans think are the best. This is because they know no better. These are crap bikes. The Engines are excellent but old tech. The Frames are a mix of Tubular and Forged and weigh a ton. All the poor craftsmanship is covered by low dollar chrome parts. The only thing I can say I like about this bikes aside from the engine is the wiring. It is tight and easy.

With this said, The styling is sin.

Reasoning

Doc's first bikes was a 1996 sporty (he didn't talk to me before he bought this Bike). After owning a few Ducs he totally abandoned this thing to a friends garage. When that friend damaged the tank I suggested it was time to make a move.

Stock these things are hideous!

Chrome up the ass. Lowe to the ground. Heavy. Mushy. Everything a bike should not be.

Breakdown

Ever seen a Harley Fly? Ya me neither. They are to fucking heavy to fly. 3 Hours and the bike starts to look like a fucking bike and not a couch.

Initial Mockup

It's Get stoked time!! A friend of mine told me years ago that he had an Dunstall Aluminum Tank from a Norton he bought. I didn't forget this when I started thinking this thing up in my mind and man am I happy about it.

What's to come

Next week I will be in possession of the Following:

Ducati Sport Classic Wirewheels. Ducati Sport Classic Tubular Single Shock Swingarm.

I will be chopping this frame and making this pig ride right. Modern Ohlins Upside down front end. Alum Seat and Cowl, Alum Front fender, Slip ons.

This will be what America should be building.

I sure Hope I can pull it off!

Stay tuned.
