Here's a pic of my last bike. I had to sell it a couple years ago, as I can no longer ride due to health issues.

I will be inheriting alot of old harley parts from my grandpa who use to be a biker for like 20 years, and i mean the real biker that just bikes no day job crap. I think i am going to try to build a bike out of it i know there are multiple fenders, gas tanks, a like 1940 harley frame a really old pan head motor and a ton of Misc parts. I'll post some pics when i get it all. I basically want to powdercoat the frame and build it up from there, oh and i have never even rode a bike

May want to learn to ride and get some experience before you dedicate yourself to such a project.

Here's that Single cam 750 in action. The bike is still in contention. It outright flys.



About what year was that?? One of our hillclimb guys built one of the single cam 750's like that years ago with the Collins barrell and other goodies. The thing absolutely screamed. He was un-beatable for several years. The bike is still competitive today! He's jumped the chain off, and wrapped it up, and exploded the cases so many times, that it's a big ball of heliarc now! Still, it's the screamer it always was. The guy who built it way back, was a Honda shop owner and racer, and was well known through out the midwest here.

It's been a long time, but here is what was my last two wheeler:

750S_Australia.jpg


'86 Honda Nighthawk S Blue

It had an aftermarket rear tire that was almost 50% larger than the stock (big enough that I had to have the swing arm machined to give clearance! :eek: ;) ) and a custom exhaust system. Fast, and no hassles to maintain.

It was a great bike, but traffic in Orlando was not conducive to safe riding, even back in the late 80's, so I let it go.

Still miss it on pretty fall days...
