Our first commissioned bike is a Motortechnic MFG Knucklehead. This is a replica motor, but looks just like the original.
The motor is currently with our engine Guru Baz, getting ali heads fitted. the customer wants a strong running bike, and the ali heads will prevent the overheating that can be an issue riding in hot weather with the cast iron heads.
The frame is a repro V twin frame, and most other parts are going to be hand fabricated by Tom. The tank has already been worked on - its a lowbrow wassell tank with the handshift and through tank fuel tap pressings grafted in. this should be a great looking long chop when its complete.
Its also entered into the UK bike building competition - The Trip Out Bike Build off.... Make sure you check out their website for more great builds http://www.thetripoutbikebuildoff.com/
We'll have the bike ready for the trip out in September this year, and it will be ridden down from the North of England.
