Default Thunderbike Customs



"The garage calls this build Flawless 3, because it has been constructed on an existing platform that goes by the same name. And it’s a stunner.

The flowing frame of the bike seems to have been cast upright, made of melted metal that was instantly frozen in place when the desired, complete shape was achieved. The paint job chosen for the frame and fuel tank helps maintain the cold look of the motorcycle.

The frame rides very low to the ground, supported by a full air-suspension. Thanks to it, the ride height can be increased by up to 10 cm (4 inches) in times of need so no harm is done to the underside.

It holds a 110ci Harley-Davidson engine from CVO models, and rides on differently-sized wheels made out of solid aluminum blocks: 26 inches front and 21 inches rear.

Thunderbike’s frame line includes more insane builds, that sell either as kits or are one-offs. "

You can have a look at them all
at this link.



This shop always puts out some of the coolest looking scoots. More pictures of the Flawless 3 at the link

"Nut Roaster" is a more apt name

As art its really interesting. I can't imagine you could comfortably ride it for more than about 15 minutes.

Where's the cup holder?

I'm sure it's a technical triumph, but to my taste, a triumph of form over function. To me, it's trying too hard and ugly.

Love the front end, other than the front wheel being a bit too big.

Hate the frame, bars and tank....ugh.....

Article says it has a full air suspension and can be raised 4". If raising it allows a full 4" of suspension travel that's twice the suspension travel of the Harley touring bikes.

Doesn't sound like it would be that bad to ride at all.

Dam, they build nice bikes! They do conversions for HD and Yamaha too. Pretty neat idea to do bikes other than Harley.
Now I remember them, when I built my VTX Pro Street i found these guys doing the Yamaha's. Didn't know they were and HD Dealer, which they were a little closer to NA!

I doubt the engine gets very hot...pushing it on and off the trailer for bike shows...
