Again, Performence Machine is a high end motorcycle machining parts. As I said in the other thread, they do alot of stuff in many different angles. From HD parts to sportbike wheels. They get a great deal of design cues from Rolland Sands. A retired AMA racer, I'm sure many of you know that already.

Here's his latest custom one off bikes. The Glory Stomper

A couple details on the bike:
-2003 HD Fatboy motor and frame (then chopped)
-A 240-rear tire wrapped around an 18” x 8.5” wheel and a 21” front became rolling stock.

There is a biker build off that features this bike on the Discovery Channel.

What do you think of this one?

And again the best for last:

More pics in this link.

Another one off custom

I don't like this at all. I have no problem with their attempt at creativity but it looks like a bunch of parts slapped together with no real purpose in mind.

 

[Gas Man]

Its purely the Rolland style. Think of a guy that grew up around cruisers but raced in AMA.

 

[No Worries]

Not too bad. A lot better than all the choppers they show on Biker Build-off. But I would like to build my own. I would start with something weird like the Honda ST1300. That long-wise V4 looks bitchin' when the motor is exposed from behind all the plastic. Add sport fairing, clip-on's, shortened rear fender, and neat paint and you are set to go. Everyone would wonder what engine is that.

 

[Gas Man]

Yeah those V4's are way sweet!

I like it more than most American cutsoms...

 

[snadamo]

like most said, Its better than most. I like the fact its smaller and not some gaudy monstrosity of a custom chopper.


Oh, and GM, The last pic is the best... :wink:

 

[pickle.of.doom]

You know that thing could do some MONSTER wheelies.. the scary kind hehe

Here's a book to read: How to Build a Cheap Chopper by Timothy Remuson. And a small blurb:

"Choppers don't have to cost thirty thousand dollars. In fact, a chopper built at home can be had for as little as five thousand dollars. The key is the use of a donor bike for most of the components. How to Build a Cheap Chopper documents the construction of four inexpensive choppers with complete start-to-finish photo sequences. Least expensive is the metric chopper, based on a 1970s vintage Japanese four-cylinder engine and transmission installed in a hardtail frame. Don't look for billet accessories or a fancy candy paint job on this one."

"Next up, price wise, are two bikes built using Buell/Sportster drivetrains. The fact is, a complete used Buell or Sportster can be had for five thousand or less. Now you've got more than an engine, you have wheels and tires, brakes, hardware, lights, harness, and some sheet metal. Bolt all that stuff to a simple hardtail frame to create an almost-instant chopper. Most lavish, but still cheap by comparison with many of the bikes built today, is a big twin chopper built from carefully chosen aftermarket parts. A RevTech engine and five-speed tranny set in a Rolling Thunder frame. Accessorize from the swap meet and add a simple one-color paint job to create a bike no one needs to be ashamed of."

Yeah you can build them cheap if you want to do that. Its better that than buying a rolling chassis and going from there...cause that way its hard to insure and impossible to finance.

That is what this bike is... a salvaged HD!

 

[bumblebee]

I liked the exhaust pipes of the bike and the babe...

 

[itgirl25]

that bike competed against a Ness bike right? i just remember that it lost. i thought it was waaay cooler than the other bike it competed against. i think this boy has some real talent.

 

[Gas Man]

Yep ItG... but Ness' bike was stupid sick... it was like a Century 21 agent competing with Trump!

 

[jeeps84]

Id proudly ride it. :yesnod:
