I’m looking forward to evenings in the garage with friends figuring this thing out.
I’ll be posting pictures here, Chopcult, and on my Facebook Page. I’ve always been sort of secretive when I had a build going but want to share this one step by step. I’ll keep you updated with the progress and showcase everything I use on the build. Some of them are Spitfire Motorcycles, Biltwell, Weisco, Wire Plus,and Spectro Oils. There is no way I could do this without the help of Friends in and out of the industry. So here are a few pictures with the front end and wheels on it just to give you an idea. So with Spitfire Motorcyclesmaking a super nice girder it was an easy choice. I know everyone likes springers but in my experience they don’t even come close to a girder. I love how wide the motor is compared to the frame.Īfter having both a girder and springer on my last two bikes It was an easy choice of what I would use. I was shooting for a digger, of course, on steroids. Not sure how tall but the neck is LOW! We measured the trail one day when I was down there and it’s an easy to handle 5”. 19 inch front and 16 inch rear HD 13 spoke wheels. All I know is the neck is 48 degrees, 10 over Spitfire girder, and it’s 9 1/2 feet long. Paul and the Mikessomehow translated my babbling and hand gestures into exactly what I had pictured in my head. If my life depended on it I couldn’t give you specs. After shooting ideas back and forth with each other here is what we came up with. My friend Paul Cavallo, Spitfire Motorcycles, is doing the frame and front end for me. I snatched it up and came up with a plan. My friend Alex found a 1981 CHP KZ1000 sitting in disrepair. This time I decided to go with something bigger for the engine. While at the time it can be frustrating it makes for a much nicer bike in the end. I guess it’s the payback for me constantly doing it to them. I enjoy making something and having McGoo, Alex, Renato, etc. Once I have a frame and front end I can do the rest here. I knew exactly how I wanted it to look in my head but getting the frame made is out of my fabrication abilities. Over the last few months everything came into place to get it going. I have been thinking of one for a while now.
