New Build, Lots of Mods

[1st Shirt Maxer]

Starting this cold wintery day in Oklahoma, I started tearing the bike down for a 1 off custom build that will include memories from my now 22 years in the Air Force. Here is the starting pictures and I will upload new ones as I complete different segments.

Well today is a good day to start the build....you definitely wont be riding this weekend.

Keep us posted. Will it be ready for Thunder next year?

 

[1st Shirt Maxer]

I am hoping it will be ready by Thunder. I will be at Thunder with the bike, it just might not be complete. There will be a lot of fabricating for my vision and since I do not have the tools or skills to do any type of fab work I will be looking at folks here for a lot of help. Sean Morley already has started the first project by machining down a 105mm shell from the Gunships and using it as the clutch cover insert.

That is WAY cool.

What bags are those? Fatmax or something else?

They are Fatmax bags. I like the looks as they carry the lines of the bike better than anything else I have seen. Only down side is that they are expensive.

That frame is really going to stand out.

Yea, I'm hoping that it will. I have some led lights in mind to make it glow.

John Wyer Gulf Oil livery:
one of the most iconic designs ever, and a natural as a 'tribute' design.
