I wish it had more closeups. That rear suspension is pure craziness! The swing arm is connected to a chain that runs under the bike and then some how meets up with the shocks.
NUKIN FUTS i say. And i cant figure out the front forks. If you look between the forks you can see a spring on the inside. Looks like the sliders are just covers.

Found IT!!!!

It is the craziest/tastiest concoction/fever dream I've seen in the last couple years. Makes that fellow trying to graft a 330 on his 750 seem sane.



Might just as well post the write up for the clicking impaired
"‘Son Of A Gun’ is based on a BSA Gold Star, although there’s little left of the original. The engine is a 1951 ZB-model single—which makes it 499cc, I’m assuming—and according to Larry, it’s an ex-racing engine."

The steel frame was handcrafted, forged and welded to give “a light, spindly look.” The swingarm is also steel and the suspension uses a combination of chains and springs. Lamb Engineering machined the forks from alloy and fitted 17” supermoto wheels attached to Talon hubs. “The design cues are taken from a mixture of 60s racing Hondas and fizzies [Yamaha FS1E],”

I'd love to have been a fly on the wall while it was coming together...

I CAN DIG THAT..... I'm not a HUGE fan of the struts, but atleast they took the style que from the front girder.... It's a little bit ZERO, little bit Dragster.... The Church of Choppers is a weekly read on my screen. (bottom right corner) And not to Leave out "Loud Fast Rules" & a decent site for land of the rising sun sickles, "Chop Cult"

But the purist won't dig a one of them.........

+2 but I wish I even had .25 of his tools and .5 his space. My house is smaller then all
of that garage....

Still working on it. But this picture hanging on my office serves the purpose of getting me motivated to come back home and hammer away every day.  ;D

You don't see that everyday...

"The legendary Frankino, alias - Chopwork - usually uses his acting
customizer to create beautiful chopper old skool, but recently its
Motomorphosy hands was born, this beautiful especially on a Motoguzzi, not
out of place on the Bonneville Salt Flats ... if it were not for the engine almost
standard.
The 850cc classe'84 has in fact received only a performance exhaust, but
modified rigid frame and sovrastruttore built from scratch, make
this motorcycle very intriguing!"
