SeanFerrill Report post Posted June 6, 2014 Pretty cool build but just out of curiosity, how do you get around right hand corners? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fredo Report post Posted June 6, 2014 I don't see a kick stand so I'm guessing air ride, up when riding Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benlilly1 Report post Posted June 6, 2014 Yes, Air ride. My husband made the frame, gas tank, oil tank, back fender, pipes, front end, handle bars etc... of course seat made by me. The motor practically was the only thing not custom made by him. This photo has a couple things missing when I took it. It also has hidden tail lights.

petersenj20 Report post Posted July 12, 2014 "Ready for show" I'll say. That bike is a show stopper. Very very cool. Does he have the build documented on the web? I would like to have a closer look at some of those details like the primary and forward control set-up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benlilly1 Report post Posted July 16, 2014 Thanks all for the comments Petersenj20, He just won Indiana Bike Week best of show. It will be photographed for Easy Rider in August after Sturgis. Some of the build is documented on his website but down to the end not much posted due to finishing it up. I do have photos though on my computer. I was asked if it had air ride and I mistakenly said yes but it's hydraulic instead. The forward controls are from Excell Componets. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
