Russ Tom's Blue Hornet (Continued)


A high performance V-Twin bolts into an aftermarket softail chassis. The setup is pure sportbike with upsidedown forks and clip-on handlebars, a mini bikini fairing, rear set footpegs, massively wide alloy spoke wheels with metzler sportbike tires.

Note the Mikuni HSR45 carburetor bolted to the opposite side of the engine from the dirt track style headers with a off-road style muffler.

Someday a major manufactuere will get smart and contract Russ to be their principal designer. Then we will be able to buy one of these beautiful machines for ourselves at a more realistic price. But until that day happens the closest most of us will ever get to a Russ Tom creation are the pictures of his bikes in the Iron & Lace calendar.
