This is one of my other vices.

This is the last bike I built. I just painted it last month.[IMG]

Very nice!

Thanks. This is my interpretation of an early '60's Frisco style bike. Not everyone's style but some of my family are club guys from back in that time period so, this brings back good memories of my childhood. I've done prostreet bikes and even a soft tail too.

The frame was made by a small bike shop in Mo. somewhere. I don't recall the name. I basically kept the neck, axle plates, motor mounts and tranny mounts then fabbed up the rest to get the dimensions I wanted. The bike originally had a '73 FLH motor but, I got a screaming deal on this 88cu pan. It's an S&S short block with STD dual plug heads.

Yeh, that way it sounds more desirable and less like bait.

Why don't you have your own reality show?
It could be called...Kansas Customs or something.

Man, I love alliteration.

**red rubi** · 08-20-2009, 11:09 PM

I can tell it's not your first bike! It has nice lines and the Frisco tank and sissy bar fits perfectly.

Two reasons:
1. I don't yell at people.
2. There is already a Kansas Customs. A guy over in the far eastern part of the state. He makes some killer springers among other parts and his craftmanship is second to none. He probably wouldn't appreciate me stealing his name.

I'm pretty sure problem #2 solves problem #1.

Thanks. That tank was a pain in the *ss. It's made up of 25 pieces welded together. I dont think I'll be going that route again. It all started because I wanted to mount the tach right below the filler and have room to mount the front master cylinder under the tank.
Here's a couple tank build pics. My original 5 pieces.[IMG]
