Ron Finch custom
« on: May 17, 2022, 09:48:45 AM »
So, there was a Harley frame with a Honda 750  fitted to it, I’ve seen pictures floating around the internet, almost positive I’ve seen a couple different attempts at this before. A gentlemen bought one of those and asked Finch to build him a new one but the same theme. Finch called Phil and bought his 900cc 750 chopper to use the motor for his project. He dropped it back off to Phil for timing and carb tune.

This is mock up, Phil is about to test ride it, goes back to owner, then torn down for new paint and finish..I think they are going with pearl white.

Just wanted to share.

Enjoy your day.

Ya thats what was on the 900 motor, idk if Phil took it off and kept that or sold it with the chopper.

edit: he held onto that cover. I remember him showing it to me a couple years ago but I didnt pay much attention lol.
Ill let you know if he ever decides to sell it.
