| Too Many bikes...all over the site. Besides the diversity between my beloved Rocket 3 Classic bagger and my efficient and tons of fun KLR, I also own an '02 Hinkley (Made in England) T100 in blue and white with red pinstripes. 3 years ago I added a custom built Motorvation Spyder, painted and pinstriped (by me incidentally) to be a perfect match to the blue and white T100. My chair is equipped with a Performance Machine 4 pot caliper clamping a polished stainless drilled disc. It has trailing link suspension with a Progressive coil over adjustable shock, plated leather interior, 6 gallon axillary fuel cell (to extend the range of the outfit), halogen headlights and LED tail lamps mand turnsignals. The frame for the chair is chrome molly DOM tubing with Dauntless adjustable clevis mounts. Steering stabilization is accomplished with an outboard mounted Monroe constant dampening shock and all the hardware is 18-8 stainless steel.
The '02 790cc Bonneville tug has had a bit of motor work performed including port and polish, custom ground cams, bored carbs and a custom designed, one off header system with '68 Triumph Peashooters...no baffles of course. The head pipes have been Jet Hot plasma coated in Jet Hot Sterling.
It's a fun bike to ride as well as show and it's extremely rare. I believe there is only one other in existence in the world.
As with any one off, it's a continuous labor of love and never finished, but it's always ready to go out for a spin. |
