ON THE BACK SIDE I TOOK THE TIME TO MAKE SMALL ALUMINIUM CAPS TO COVER EACH ROCKER SHAFT NUT AND SMALL BRASS PLATES WHICH FOLLOW THE CONTURE OF THE FINS. DETAILS....DETAILS....ON THE FRONT SIDE
BOTH KNUCKLES ARE HAND ENGRAVED. I MUST ADMIT I HAD THEM DONE QUITE A FEW YEARS AGO BY A GUY WHO WAS JUST IN THE AREA FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS.
HE HAD LEARNED THE CRAFT FROM AN OLD GUNSMITH SO THE STORY WENT. THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT!! UNFORTUNATELY HE IS LONG GONE FROM OUR AREA AND SO THE ABILITY TO HAVE THIS FINE ARTWORK ON OTHER PIECES IS LOST. BUT HEY....I GOT MINE!!!
MOST PARTS ARE ALL HAND MADE FOR HER. THE REAR CHAIN GUARD AND ALL SUPPORTING STRUTS WERE MADE BY ME. ALSO ALL THE FRONT FENDER SUPPORTS AND BRAKE MOUNT SYSTEM.
I GUESS YOU COULD SAY THAT ANYTHING THAT DOESN'T LOOK NORMAL WAS HAND FABRICATED. THE FRONT AND REAR FENDERS BOTH HAVE TIPS OR YOU COULD CALL THEM GAURDS TO PROTECT THE BOTTOMS FROM DINGS THAT WOULD MARK THE PAINT.
THE SIDE PANELS COVER HER ALL IN AND ADD TO THE SMOOTNESS OF THE BODY STYLING. THIS ALLOWS THE PAINT JOB TO FLOW THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE BIKE UNBROKEN. THE TANKS THEMSELVES ARE LOWERED ON THE BACKBONE AND MOVED AHEAD 2" TO ALLOW MAKING THEM VERY LONG AND SLEEK.
THE UNDERSIDES WERE DONE WITH LONG CONTINUOUS PLATES SO THEY ARE SMOOT FROM FRONT TO REAR AND TOTALLY PAINTED WITH FLAMES.
THE CENTER TANK DIVIDER IS ALSO HAND MADE AND THE HANDLE BARS ARE UNIQUE AND ALSO HAVE A SMALL INLAYED SLOTTED PIECE TO HELP FILL THEM IN AND COVER SOME OF THE WIRING RUNNING THROUGH THE BARS. THE PMC TEARDROP AIR BREATHER COVER AND FRONT AIR DAM (TO BE INSTALLED) ARE ALSO
FLAMED OUT. SHE WILL HAVE PMC FORWARD CONTOLS WHICH MATCH THE STURGIS WHEELS AND MUCH OF THE SLOTTED DESIGNED PIECES. I HOPE THAT I WILL SOON HAVE MORE TIME TO ADD MORE TO HER AND HOPEFULLY COMPLETE HER THIS YEAR. SHE IS AFTER ALL.......A LABOUR OF LOVE.!!! I WILL UPDATE THIS WHEN I CAN GET TO HER SOME MORE. I WRITE THIS PAGE DECIATED TO ALL THE BUILDERS OUT THERE WHO NEVER SEEM TO HAVE TIME TO BUILD THEIR OWN UNIQUE TOY THAT IS ACTUALLY......FOR THEMSELVES. SEE YA SOON......
