I picked up an ugly bike with a heart of gold a few weeks ago. I've been slowly making it into something a little more my style. Most of the build was done with parts I already had laying around. I'll let the pictures do most of the talking.
It's a '79 Shovel frame with an Accurate Engineering 93" Alternator style Panhead and a Revtech 5 in 4 trans. The motor is sound, minus a few leaks. Knowing the issues with Revtech transmissions, I'm pretty much waiting for it to rear it's ugly head and shit out on me. But, it's there for the time being. I ditched the DNA Springer for 8 over 39mm tubes and shaved lowers in Mullins Super Narrow trees. The rear fender is a Lowbrow Rogue fender. The seats were loaned to me by my buddy Jason.
Future plans are a horseshoe oil tank and a round Panhead swingarm. Maybe throw some paint on it this winter too.
How it looked when I got it.
