This is a custom bobber that I built for myself and everything has been gone through and only the best parts available have been used. Stock tanks, springer, frame, wheels, brakes and trans. The motor is a 1957 G or Servi-car motor that had a meticulous build with 20 over cylinders, K.B. pistons and 3 grind valves, everything lapped, polished and sealed...no leaks and runs perfect. There's lots of one of a kind custom pieces made in my machine shop, example the tail light is a very bright l.e.d. with a hand blown glass lense. The tanks required very little work and shot with PPG hot rod black and hand stripped with gloss black by JZ. No chrome, copper plated items with some brass pieces that haven't been polished, just left to go natural. The bike isn't fast, but it's really a blast to ride, more like a scooter and will cruise all day at 50-55mph with ease. I've put maybe 1000 miles on it at the most over 2 years. It starts so easy, I don't even retard the mag, just leave it at advance. The electrics are Cycle Electric generator 12 volt, lights stay on, no need for a capacitor even at idle...when you want to shut it off, just let out the clutch and stall it ! Less is better on this one. I'm selling all my bikes because I'm old and it's time, that's all
