Dont they have like, 9 months of winter? All that time really makes the imagination fly.

I've got one! 
The place where the photo was taken is just 30 miles away from where I live. In June every year there is a huge custom show. Unfortunately I couldn't be there this year but heard it was great as usual...

That bike (in the above pix, the people's choice) has to be the most unique bike I have EVER seen. It is awsome!!
A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.

Couldn't agree more. Have a look at the craziest headlight I've ever seen:

I also think that bike is an absolute engineering marvel. Check out the steering:  A closeup of the front:  Where it exits the body!!

I saw that bike in another thread too. I love it! Kinda Willy Wonka, but look how the relationship between the wheels and seating position is pretty much the same as those super-stretched choppers! But different.

I agree Bonnyusa! Someone really sat down and just let his imagination go wild with that one! How the steering head goes through the tank and that linkage up front! Amazing... pure and simple.

I want to hear a 360 degree before I decide on donor. I'm leaning heavy to the 360 cause I can get a higher rev limiter for one. Plus I think it would sound more like my old chops.  As for my SpeedMaster, it will remain as it is except for a few more tweeks! I love it to much to take it apart! (For now  )

I heard a T100 with Staintunes once, MAN did it sound nice. Angry but smooth, ya know? Of course those are the megaphone style, which isn't super chopper-ish, but hey.... Check with the guys over on triumphrat.net and see what they think. I'm pretty sure they do a lot of stock pipe gutting too.

I want to hear the "thump" if you will. The breathing and moaning of both engines. The exhaust? Well, after it's inspected and State approved it will get a one off exhaust. I've waited and worked YEARS to do this. No slackin' now!!!
