When I was a kid, I remember a bumper sticker that said
"Where the hell is Hanford?" That question will soon be a thing of
the past, because the unique and hand-built choppers crafted by Dalton Walker
and the crew at Split Image Kustoms is putting Hanford on the map!
I had a chance to talk with him a while at the Screamin'
Demon's Shovelhead Run in Fresno, and I was impressed by his talent as a
fabricator, and eye for detail, but perhaps more important, that he's also a
really nice guy.
His bikes, (like the one on page 8 of the June issue of
Easyriders,) aren't cookie cutter, bolt 'em together catalog bikes, but well
thought out, well engineered, and detailed to perfection one off custom works
of art!
I'm not gonna waste a bunch of words here describing things
like the hand built frame and front end, the chain driven generator, the most
unique exhaust system on the planet, or the perfect flow of the bike; I'm gonna
let the pictures speak for themselves. Just be sure you look at each picture
several times, because the first few times you're going to miss a lot!
