Funny how a single cylinder Harley based engine and a turbo could lead me to that conclusion.

Either that or I need to get out in the shop more.  :D

Yeah, but he's got a really distinctive style.  And how many people can pull off something like that and have it look like it came from the factory that way?

With enough money I can make anything look factory. Not to say he's sold out, because he hasn't yet that I know of. But he does great work and is compensated for it.

I love the red board tracker-ish one.

Probably the coolest bike I have ever seen posted in this thread... This is the exact look I want.. Very cool. Is there a build review on this anywhere, I would like more info.

Havoc, that would be BTR3..
That single he did with the fairing has gone over 160 on the salt!
Them singles are running Rotrex blowers, which are  a bit like a mechanically driven turbo.. very effecient though..

He is getting a 2wincam 2win ready for the salt as we speak,  its looking like around 100 inches and 130 horse..

I think they liked the CherryAnnish look of the trees...

 I dunno, they are sorta clean looking & probably stiffer than 450 forx with woreout sliders...

i'm not a big chopper fan but have to admit that i've been influenced by the choppers of the 70's. i was a wee lad then and built a couple of coffin tank models. deep purple was my favorite color then so that's what i painted them.

still cool in my book. i like the fourth one you posted but the dual headlights on the other one up.

Yea I like the 4th one too.  Also if you havnt read the new the horse backyard choipper mmag yet theirs a guy who mated a cb650 motor into a harley frame.  It looks sick something different.  Havnt realy seen any cb choppers in those mags. It kinda has an old school twist to it.
