My dad and a friend built this bike in Seattle, WA in 2012.
They spent about 18 months on and off working on it.
It’s mine now, as of May. I believe the engine is rebuilt, and an ’81.
Rides like a dream, leans and corners great, and always starts on the 1st or second kick.
Kick?! yep.
No electric start, or turn signals.
Headlight and brake light are magneto-driven.
Gas tank is under the seat, with a clear piece of vertical rubber tubing used as a sight gauge.
The resulting feel of having the engine right up between your legs is pretty wild.
Bike has about 300 miles on it now, and is a blast to ride.
Sits SUPER low, and is “teenage-sized” for a chopper.
Super fun.
