Sultan Guy Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Here are some pictures of a custom one of a kind bike that a good friend of mine is building for a customer. I was over at his shop recently and it is almost finished. I don't know much about bikes but this thing looks badass and when done will cost well over 100k His description: Custom stainless steel exhaust, fabricated chassis for Skip's wild ride. This will feature "closed loop" fuel injection. 78" wheelbase, and the seat is only 20" high! This is a 142 cubic inch custom engine I am building for my friend Skip Hertz. Delkron engine cases,S & S 5" stroke racing flywheels, 1.5" crankpin and S & S "Twin Cam" rods. (This is a single cam engine.) The cylinders are 4.25" bore, built by Axtell. The cylinder heads are "stage 4" from STD. 2.25" intake valves, 2" exhaust. S & S roller rockers. The camshaft is a .715" lift Redshift.

Erik J Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Where's the gas tank? under the seat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 might want to put some kind of heat shield on that exhaust or you're gonna roast your right leg. Cool looking concept...not my style but interesting frame design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultan Guy Posted January 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 He is still working on the gas tank amongst other items. Slated to be completed for spring riding season. If there is enough interest here I will post a picture of the fully completed bike when it is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trailertrash Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 The owners of these bikes should see the same wrath Hummer owners get. They seem so excessive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimo Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 The owners of these bikes should see the same wrath Hummer owners get. They seem so excessive. At least they get better gas mileage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailertrash Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 At least they get better gas mileage. not for a bike, which is my point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Houghton Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 So you're looking between your knees to see the road, I'd be at the chiro after a 5 minute ride, but I'm an old guy. I wouldn't want to get on the brakes too hard, you'd get that downtube right in the soft spot..... different frame configuration, that's for sure. And the chain for my wallet will make sparkies on the asphalt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Is that it? It really doesn't look like $100k. If I were into cruisers/musclebikes and I had that kind of dough, I'd be all over a Confederate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tend not to use conventional front ends. I could go into it more, but you get the idea..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Fin started making bike frames, I could see one of these popping out of the end of the production line. The front end kind of reminds me of the Happy Fun Plate (HFP) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
