| Additional Info | This bike is built by people who do that on hobby basis, not as professionals. For instance, most of the metal fabrication, such as frame, triple trees, swingarm, aluminium gastank & oiltank, is made by Kegny Karlsson (KDK Performance). Painter Bo "Master" Jensen is a well known Swedish custom painter who has painted all of my custom builds and helped in many other ways. Engine rebuilt and modified by Mectec includes H-D -67 cases, STD heads, Truett & Osborn stroker flywheels, high compression pistons, rods and oilpump by S&S, JIMS lifters, rocker covers from Robbans Speedshop, modified CV40 and Sifton Avenger camshaft. Of course, kick-start only... |
