Hmm...there are on the newsstands out here in Cali-

Finally hit the news stand in upstate NY.

I haven't bought it in years, but I bought this issue just to check out the article on Paul's bike.

WOW, OMG That bike is AWESOME!!

Appreciate the props!
Team effort, as usual, with top shelf parts, and talent, all around the build (and a decent rider..😎)

  Just picked up" American Iron "   Nice job .

Other than an oil tank relocation to the FL tank set up next to the bottom of the frame, this bike is done..................

With a riding position like that you must be a shorter guy?

5'10", 180. That riding position is just a tuck at the request of the photographer-mostly I'm just kicking back very comfortable cruzin along...pretty comfy actually with a nice back support and bars aren't too far forward. Sitting up in a normal riding position, my hands just grab my grips and I have full brake and clutch access.
The seat pan and rear fender was designed with me on the bike not only to accomplish that, but also so my leg clears under my carbs to the peg and rear brake lever.

I picked up a copy on Friday. Slick spread.

Your riding position looks great. I like how you have full brake control without contacting the carbs. Scratching my head on the approach with the DX as the frame is not going to play nice with a 180.

I didn't think arm pump was a Harley thing, just mx??? LOL 

Just redid the front end in flat black but basically the same. Waiting for a big El Nino so we can redo the oil tank (Thx Ed for the awesome pan) and put it under the bike next to the motor for improved cooling and oil distribution , and I won't miss any riding...(I know, Socal is year round...lol...)
The retirement from racing part of the article is a bit premature as I still Grudge Race my street bike (and why I keep specific details like times slips, flow #'s to myself  ), and am already thinking about building another race bike...
And the front end now...same, just a darker shade-

Paul, you need to start your bike farther away from the garage. It looks like it cracked the concrete. I like the mean look of the total flat black. Serious sickle right there.

Looks great.  I tried to find the rag when it came out and failed.  Thanks for sharing.

Black headlight and front forks since I see... A rolling stone gathers no moss.

A feather in your cap  Great goals and planning. Nice build

What's your best time at the track?

Looks great Pdub, I really like the matte black finish

Don't post here as much as in the past but just a little update on the Street Bike-

You know your stuff, have seen just about every Hipo situation, and I respect your comments big time-
Bike just was featured by Bikernet Magazine and also shot by Hotbike as well (including the cover of American Iron).
No issues to report, no problems, or pms. Ride and go-I don't take it to the track as much as I used (just 3 times last year), but it rips it on command:), and is a perfect hotrod to cruise around Socal....

Thx guys-

That bike is just too f--king cool. I love it.

  no doubt about it...Paul you have one badass bike right there! 

Nice bike Paul

Ray you should submit your bike, they would have to devote an entire magazine to cover the "Cat's out of the bag" thread on the Duracell.

Still a bad a$$ bike....how about a grudge race between you and the bike that Rick Ward built for Sturgis?

Actually, I heard he was going up there with that Dyna and I was looking forward to running him. Would have been fun, and we thought about it, but heard he was going to run nitrous and a slick, so I passed. Not my thing for a "street bike" heads up grudge race. Race bike, different story...

That's Badass for sure. 
What is the gear ratio?

Quote from: Barrett on October 16, 2017, 07:57:16 AM

What is the gear ratio?

I change my rear sprocket as needed....so it varies between 3.30's to 3.50.
In winter, when I know I won't be having fun at the track, I gear it on the lower side for EZ crusin', then higher during the rest of the year.
Think I am at 3:41 right now-

Beauty, Paul!
Is that the same bike that was on Corbin's TV show?
