2009 Hal's HD FAT TRACKER, FR 1750 "FAT TRACKER" The bike was built by Hal's Harley Davidson located in New Berlin, Wisconsin. As avid Dirt Track enthusiasts, Hal and his son Kirk traveled the Midwest watching races since the mid 70 s. Shortly after becoming dealers, they fielded a Flat Track race effort campaigning nationally with AMA Rider #77 Peter Hook out of Burnsville, Minnesota. While it may be the inspiration of the story, the build came about because winter in the Midwest is too damn long. Hal s crew had also seen enough tall front wheels, chromed everything, and raked baggers so they aspired to go in a different direction. Starting with a 2009 FLHR Road King, the frame underwent multiple mod s including removal of rear section and a handmade aluminum subsection for rear tail kit. The swingarm tabs were removed, holes filled and smoothed, and a mono-shock adopted from an 1125R Buell. A 2013 V-Rod front end with custom machined fork guards was used to complete the suspension. Wheels are Roland Sands Design Morris wheels and the Karoo 3 tires were procured from Metzeler. The team converted the stock belt final drive to chain, used a Baker bully outer primary cover with a converted HD hydraulic clutch. Dyna mid-controls with modified reverse shifter and rear brake master cylinder were fitted for a sleek, clean appearance. Metal fabrication is everywhere. An FLHX fuel tank was opened up (with side panels inverted) and mounts were moved forward 2 inches. Adding function to form, a handmade, louvered front splash guard and a custom aluminum under tail section fitted to a modified Vance & Hines XR1200 race tail keeps the Fat Tracker lookin clean. Lighting is supplied by a hand made aluminum front number plate with custom mounted L.E.D. headlights and turn signals. Custom tail light and signals by CPV. Joker machine switch housings were used on 1" Flanders handlebars stepped down for 7/8" Accossato radial master cylinders. The gauge face contains an IPod speedometer interface. Power is supplied by Hal's 107ci engine (175 FR 1750 "FAT TRACKER" The bike was built by Hal's Harley Davidson located in New Berlin, Wisconsin.
