Whatis

Interesting bike, is it a Triumph, Is it an Indian, Is it a Harley. Great job on this one.


It's not speeding till you get pulled over.

That's a lot like the custom bike I had in mind ifn I ever did one more build before I die. Pretty nice.

I think the motor looks small in comparison to the rest of the bike.

But I DO like the motor!

That bike has either got some extra batteries hidden somewhere, or an after-market charging system or those extra lights are just for show. I have a '71 650 Triumph myself and I know for a fact, Mr Lucas and his electrics definitely won't run all those lights and an ignition as well. I'm erring of the side of "don't like it" simply because a nice handling machine has been glimmed up to be nothing more than a straight line show pony. Lots of work has obviously gone into it but saying that, I wonder just what the builder was thinking with his design?

I think that is a great job on an OIF bike, never liked those. I love it.

Looks to me like he really liked his Harley WA, but got tired of fixing it and trying to keep up, so he decided to put in a good engine.
