I started with a Wolf Daddy motorcycle kit build list from Ultima. I then proceeded to delete a fair amount of parts from the list. I then ordered an incomplete motorcycle kit. The rear fender was one of the first things to be deleted and I replaced it with a fender by Paul Yaffe that was manufactured for the builder and needed the entire mounting system to be manufactured for it as well as trimmed to give it its final shape. The fuel tanks were also ordered from Custom Chrome to replace the one piece tank which was intended for the bike and it has been lined with the appropriate tank liner. The transmission was deleted from the original list considering the only thing thy were offering was a five speed and replaced with a "Crusher" six speed. (This company was in existence for a short time competing with the other manufacturers). The kit was not originally ordered with an engine but I later went back to Ultima to get a 113" engine. and the pipes were switched to a pair of shotgun drags. When it came time for the paint I wanted something unique therefore I picked a midnight metallic blue for the main color (it looks like black till you see it in the sun) and to keep a little tradition I had the old school flames applied to the tanks and fenders. The chopper went together with little trouble beyond what I expected. I built what I wanted to ride with out intending to build a show bike, I just enjoy showing what I've accomplished and it happened to take third place at the Baltimore International Motorcycle Show 2003. The bike also took third in the Timonium Motorcycle Show 2005. I am very happy with the finished product and ride the bike as often as I can. The only issues I have had with the bike (outside of normal maintenance) is that the transmission slips in 2nd gear at low idle speed - runs strong without missing a beat at higher RPMs though. The starter gears don't seem to mesh well, if they don't engage when starter button is pushed it will grind and you must release and go at it again till it cranks the engine over. I have just replaced the starter gears with new ones considering the trouble I have had with this. The Ultima 113 is a great engine, it starts, runs like a clock, and has plenty of power. This engine is advertised with 125 HP. There are a couple chips in the paint (please see pictures). The rear tire has just been replaced also. I have another bike I am re-building for my daily ride or I would modify this one in order to accommodate a passenger and keep riding it. I feel this is truly a great bike and a lot of fun to ride.
