Spare Parts Custom
What does a bike builder do in his spare time?

By



The bike started out as a Sumax frame that was sitting around for years. I found an H-D Evo motor and tranny, fresh out of the box a few years back. We used Boyd's Mid-Glide 41mm trees and fat boy lower legs turned down on the lathe. Top caps were made to match. A swap meet rotor and Rev Tech caliper were used on the front. The front axle was cut flush, drilled and tapped for custom washers. Jim traded chrome lower legs for an 18-inch front rim. Ness bars, plate welded in with milled slots, the speedo, mounted underneath, and some handle bar controls that were stashed at the bottom of a lost box finish up the front end.

The air dam is just something that was thrown together late one night.

I have no idea where the forward controls came from. The gas tanks are stock 4- gallon fat bobs extended. All tank mounts are hidden with a custom-made flush dash. The seat is by Keith's Seats.

The rear fender started as an 8-1/2 inch trailer fender. Jim put some sides on it and built in an LED light. The lower part of the rear fender started out the same, but with bolts to the swingarm. The swingarm has built-in axle covers like Jim used to make back in the days at Razorback Motor Works. The rear rotor was a little thing that Jim saw in the CCI catalog. He figuired since he wasn't gonna be doing any road racing, it should work out fine. The rear rim is an Akron 18-by-5.5, laced up to a stock H-D hub by some guy in Florida for $50.
