I had so much fun last time I had to do it again. Here is a little about the "BITCH"
This is a highly customized1979 Shovelhead with a 1985 reconstruct title, as it was built into a custom rigid frame in 1985. It is truly a one of a kind bike with many hand made parts, not just another glamour bike with the familiar bolt on stuff. Great pains and lots of time went into the design and construction of this bike to give it the desired classic style with both ride ability and reliability. Most every part on this bike has been either hand fabricated or modified for that perfect balance of function and beauty. Some of the handmade items include the wide glide triple trees and risers made from mild 1”steel and chromed by Mike’s Plating. Alum. Tweak bar/ headlight mount/ steering stabilizers mount. Ball milled lower fork sliders on 41mm tubes. Frame is a 35 degree rake, modified Santee rigid with anti twist design, drilled webbing and fender mount with hidden fender supports. All the welds are smooth, no bondo at all. The seat mount was hand fab from aluminum as was the seat pan, and is suspended by air cushion then Upholstered in Italian leather. Fiberglass fender with 24ct. gold trim led taillight and fender tip. Fuel tanks are H-D 5gl. Flat side with relocated rubber mounts. The spun aluminum oil tank has been engraved and gold platted and finished off with a one/off finned alum. Fill cap and drilled alum. Mount. Both wheels are laced with stainless steel spokes and powder coated rims with translucent red. Rear wheel is a 16”x 4.5 and the front is a 21”x 3.5. The paint is house of color China blue with silver flake added then gold pinstriped tribal flames. The engine was rebuilt 1500mi ago and is a 74ci with 10 to 1 pistons, thin stem valves Sifton springs, titanium collars, hardened seats and flowed heads with out side oil returns. The Rocker box’s have been fly cut and ball milled and polished. The head fastener studs were replaced with Allen bolts. The lower end is completely blueprinted and balanced with heavy duty parts. An Andrews’s cam and Morris magneto were added for luck. Engine case and heads are powder coated. Carburetion is handled by a S&S Supper B with a Thunder Jet 3rd circuit. The transmission is an H-D 4 speed with Andrews close ratio gears, heavy duty kick start arm and custom made kicker pedal. Chrome ratchet top and polished case. Racing clutch and 3” BDL Belt drive with custom made alternator cover/ belt guard, chrome pulleys and pressure plate.
