Here are shots of the existing piece of shit with the new tanks
recommended by Paul, who builds some of the most innovative bikes on the
planet.
Paul's philosophy is to manufacture enough custom components
to allow his customers to build something without doing a piece-meal
job. "Instead of buying fenders from me that don't fit the other guys'
frame properly and then mount a gas tank from so and so, and nothing
fits properly, I want to give the customer half a chance to build a
world-class custom on his own." Paul's positioning himself, unlike
Bandit, to afford customers with frames, plus the fenders, tanks and
billet components to match.
Paul began his operation building LED taillight products.
Unlike the slob who runs this joint, Paul is a young man of
vast energy and talent who could not contain himself building bikes
with existing components. He began building his own fenders, air
cleaners, frames, etc. The young upstart with the flaming red
hair does share one notion with Bandit: "If you're going to build a new
full-custom for a customer, I want the bike to be a reliable runner,
of the newest technology, or how can you call it a new bike?" So all
of Paul's bikes are built with Harley-Davidson Twin Cam drive lines.
"I use as much Harley stuff as possible," Paul said. "Plus the
factory is going crazy building more new accessories all the time.
The selection is growing by leaps and bounds."
Damn, if I told that lunkhead Bandit once, I told him a
thousand times, it's time to move away from the Evolution shit into
the real world of Twin Cams. But that motley-minded minnow is still
out in the garage trying to put two Mikuni's carbs on his '48
Panhead. If you want to check true customs, built to ride, check
