RD,

What a sweet looking scooter!
Did you do the fab work? Nice to see something a little different.

You get my vote for the Bike Of The Week award.

Both the bike and shop are nice.....CLEAN.
If you drop a tool, you can find it.  LOL

Real nice and a sidecar too! Can't wait to see the finished product. Old school just got a new definition.

Looks Great, finally something without a rear tire wider than the handlebars and handlebars that dont need to be lowered to ride it into the garage.

  Looks good! I have long wanted to build a JD replica with a Brigs & Stratton motor. Even know a guy who would let me messure and copy his JD.   Then along came the internet and HTT and now mostly I admire other people's work when I aint out riding.....Please post more pixs!

Hum... Is that a 100in S&S Sportster motor I spy? Details, Details.

Board Racer Retro?  What do you call the bike, styling inspirations. what doe the sidecar look like?

[HDRDR]

Beautiful

I like the looks, but it seems like to much power for the frame and tire's. But what a nice looking bike! It's a very sweet thing

That's beautiful!  Great combination of old style and new technology.  You did a great job.

Also can't wait to see a picture with the sidecar.

Great piece of work. Probably the best example I have seen of combining the retro look with modern technology. Can't wait to see it with the side hack.

That’s one sweet ride, a conversation piece.

The bike Frame, side car frame and side body came from Arlen Ness. The Motor is a 96 Sportster 883 that was boared to 1200 and I used Buell Thunder storm heads and pistons . I made the oil tank, Rear Fender , Side car fender, Handle bars , Side car rear bumper, Motor pulley cover , Exhaust as well as a lot of the smaller parts . The gas tank was made by Don Hotop as were a lot of the other parts . Don has done the final assembly as well as guided me every step of the way in building this bike . Don built one like this for Drags a few years back .  So would you call this a chopper? most of the parts that were bought were cut up and redone.//

someone else said "retro board tracker"  I think that sounds about right!

I really do like the exhaust, gives it a nice early bike look!

[river dog]

Retro Board Tracker I like that . I wish I could find out how many of these frames Arlen made.  That exhaust was a bitch to make .   

[neale]

Chopper?......definetly not, custom, yes. Very nicely done too! 

[garynj]

I would just call it beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!Fantastic looking ride,can`t wait to see it with the hack! Gary

ya know, the more i look at that project, the more i see a magazine article and photo layout in its future!

[Ultrashovel]

Very nice. Just don't hit any bumps, LOL. Nice neat work. I love the color, too.

I see you bought the best in a lift, too. I have a Handy, too. It appears that you did a section on the end to lengthen it. I bought the section from Handy that adds 13" to the front of the lift  but yours looks fine too.


Nice work. What sort of sidecar do you have?

[river dog]

Check out this one on E-Bay . E-Bay # 160308451003  it has the side car on it and has a big twin motor. This is the same side car that is with mine.
