That America is really cool. The tail makes the bike look very aggressive. Really dig the symmetry on the front and rear tire; has he ever mentioned how it affects the handling?
Thanks for posting.

I didn't realise the Rocket ran unverted forks. Looks sharp! Any change in rake?

That America looks seriously tough. If it was matte black Russel Mitchel would totally be salivating.

Is the ride-height changed? It looks lowered in the back and raised in the front.

Very cool! That seat looks like it could make you steril though! LOL Very cool look though. What front wheel is that? I have been wanting to lace a rear rim onto an America front hub. If thats what you did maybe you could help me out with spoke lengths and any other issues you may have run into.

That brings up an interesting question. Would it be possible to find bearings to mate a harley wheel with a TBA or SM axle? Then all you might need is some custom spacers and you could mount any aftermarket harley billet wheel on the front.
Of course mounting up a matching rear wheel might be a bit more of a challenge.

there's a company locally that will make any size bearing you want. you give them the I.D. of the hub and the O.D. of the axle and they'll make it for you.

Great looking bikes, thanks for sharing. Those mods on the America sure took some effort.
I love that Choppahead stuff too.

Didn't I see they make a semi rolling chassis too that includes the rear wheel and breaks? I know I saw one but forget who it was.

I had problems once putting a 5 spoke invader on a springer. I coulen't get one that fit the axle and the wheel at the same time. I could get either one but not both. Couldn't at the time get one made that I knew of.
