I am not one of them. But I thought I would share some quick pics my brother sent me today. He just finished building a bike, it is his second one. He is pretty excited, and I wanted to share what he and his buddy did together.

His new one.....
The specs are: (and I have no idea what they mean!!)
New Bike:
Paughco Wishbone Rigid Frame w/ 200 tire in rear 60 spoke
21 in front w/ 40 spoke
80in Evo
Jockey Shift w/ foot clutch

His original one....
Specs:
1992 Heritage Softail
100 4x4 Engine
three spoke pro-one billet wheel in front
solid wheel in back

Both together finally....

You have a very talented brother, Daren. Some good handy work there!!

C.J. · 8 April 2006, 03:23 PM

I don't know what the specs mean either, but they look awesome

mailman · 8 April 2006, 07:05 PM

Looks like he did a great job building the new one

It's very basic which is cool. Use only the minimal stuff you need and throw the rest away. That's what guys used to do when they came home from WWII and bought a motorcycle. I especially like the scalloped paint job on the tank

Nice bunch of bikes Daren.

Prince · 8 April 2006, 09:35 PM

Beautiful. The Heritage Softail is my favorite of the two. I am not much of a custom-built bike fanatic, but I do like to "customize" my stock Harley.

I also like a definite measure of comfort from my bike. I'm not sure the blue custom would provide that!!!

dman · 8 April 2006, 10:35 PM

Thanks guys. The custom one actually is shifted by hand, not foot. I thought that was very need. Called a suicide shifter.

baseballduck · 8 April 2006, 11:22 PM

That thing is awesome. I can't belive he put a suicide on it.

Hey Tyler,

How go the studies, little fella?

You are being missed on TRF. All the best with your academic career. You will make heart surgeon one day, you know!!! Good luck, my friend!!

Rockrolex · 9 April 2006, 06:08 AM

I'm always impressed with people who have that kind of mechanical ability. I'm sure your brother will be very proud to go riding around on it.

And Tyler, welcome back, buddy. How go the studies?

baseballduck · 9 April 2006, 07:53 AM

Thanks for the welcome back. The studies go good. We have about 8 weeks of school left so we are now officially downhill.
