"I used to make my own single loop frames. Lot of guys early on loved to stick Knuckles in VL frames, but I didn't like cutting up VL frames. So, I made a few single loops that looked like Knuckles in the back, and VL's in the front."
Fitting a set of 3 1/2 gal. tankshift tanks to the single loop conversion.....
Installing the running gear........
You can see the good Dr.'s frame conversion made for a pretty nicely proportioned bike, even in the middle of this put-together.From the Rich Ostrander Collection
Nice!!
ReplyDeleteRich, It's hard to believe that was 30 years ago. Time flys when your having fun. Rich P.S. Another coming off the table this week. An homage to Tom Burke and 3 others who set me on this path through life some 45 years ago.
ReplyDeleteDrSprocket, I know what you mean. I was playing "Steppenwolf The Second" as I worked the other day, and I said to myself "Holee shit, this can't be. This album is over 40 years old". But, I could remember where I was, and what I was doing, and every word from the lyrics.
ReplyDeleteDo I get an exclusive on this bike?
As a matter of fact you do. And I believe you'll be a little surprised I hope. Stay tuned.
ReplyDeleteDr., I like how you went to the trouble to make the axle brackets shaped like H-D did including the small tab/stop for the jiffy stand. Also the plate in the frame under the engine.
