Basket Case Shovelhead Transformed into Slick Machine
By Bruce Montcombroux

Build goal was a straightforward chopper with some cool parts.

 

I like my version of that story better, this was a bare frame and bunch of boxes including the half assembled bike getting tossed through a jammed closed garage door during a house fire.

 

Nicer looking bike too

 

Yeah mine you actually ride more than to the bar too.

 

Can't open the link for some reason...How far will that peanut tank get you?
Or, is it just a show bike or trailer queen?

 

At the best tuned stock engine and geard up a bit maybe 60 miles but 45 is the average - you wear out kicker gears is all your doing as not going anyplace far

 

Used to call mine boneshaker and she had a fat seat

That thing will chip your teeth.

 

dude looks cramped up with that seat.....needs a better one so he can at least looked chilled...which is what choppers are all about

 

That tank doesn't fit the lines of the bike. Otherwise, nice period ride.

 

Yep needs fat bobs.
