And the story:
I purchased this bike brand new in 1975 for just $2,300 at Brooklyn Harley Davidson. In 1979 I decided to make it a real muscle bike by stroking it out to 93ci. As most of you know there is a lot more involved then just adding stroke. The cases had to be welded at the deck for the steel cylinders and to relocate the cylinder base studs. The cylinder heads were dual plugged, ported and larger valves installed. The bottom end is all S&S and the pistons are from Venolia with Total Seal gapless rings. The wet clutch was removed for the older dry setup and a Strociek trap door is used to hold in the all Andrews transmission. The bike was rarely used for quite some time and just recently I decided to give it a make over. The bike was totally stripped and the engine was split open. The frame was media blasted and powder coated along with the fenders. A new wiring harness was installed along with a Big Boar battery. The engine was completely done over and some new up to date components added. To turn the engine over a Tech Hi Torque starter is used. Baisley roller rockers were added to the valve train and a Crane Fireball Multi Spark ignition is used to provide the spark. S&S Super E dumps in the fuel. I don't have many modifications because I wanted to keep it looking like a Sportster. I loved the way the bike looked when it was new and I still love the way it looks after 32 years. I could go on and on but I think that this bike speaks for itself in that it is a one of a kind machine. You definitely don't see them like this anymore. Plus, it's one bad motor scooter.
