New Iron Heart Harley

Just coming across this thread. Looks like it's going to be great. Any plans for the exhaust system,and was that a car tire on it originally?

We're going with short slash cut pipes for this build. It's an Avon m/c tyre, we're keeping that one.

Oh hi sexy..

[Dmart]

Nice!

Mmmm.. that stance is mean. Real nice!

[Olly]

Starting to shape up now. She's getting oil lines and wired up this week… Those with a sharp eye will see that we have now gone with a cobra seat. We think it looks way nicer than the flat solo seat. And check out the slash pipes - she's gonna be loud!

@Olly How are the rules for noise in the UK?  Around here, you would be pulled over all of the time…Love the look of the pipes, but not sold on the seat...

edit: Are you going to be riding with a passenger?

[Jett129]

With that seat ,feel like a sissy bar would look good.

[goosehd]

@Jett129 nailed it.  Would fix the lines (aesthetically).

Looks like Dave Mann drawing from back in the day when I used to read Easyriders Magazine.

Yep…anytime I think of choppers, I think of Dave Mann.  I have seen some of his drawings/paintings personally and would love to own one.

I was lucky and was able to run around with Dave Perewitz for a few years and even got to work in his shop for a little while.  Mann had given Perewitz a few of his paintings...

Perewitz did the paint on my bike.

We don't get in trouble for that here in general. Unless you're riding like a dickhead.

@Jett129 I hear you, but we're doing a swing arm chop, sans sissy bar. Beautiful illustration with a totally on point chopper design, though.

[goosehd]

All of our local municipalities have been passing noise ordinances for the last few years for exactly that reason.  The problem is the towns have figured out it is a quick way to make money and people get busted for just riding.

[Jett129]

I think Dave Perewitz was also in some way associated with Easy Riders. Very cool that he painted your bike. I’m thinking it’s the Harley and not the Triumph you were riding the other day. @goosehd

[Dmart]

This definitely looks like David Mann and I 100% agree with the sissy bar!

[goosehd]

@Jett129 Harley…

Great looking shovel! I love the classic black with chrome. That light on the rear fender is interesting. Would love to see more pics of that.

[Alex]

The bike is ready, should be collecting it end of this week or early next, then shipping the tank and fender off to Japan…

[Dmart]

Love the sound of a shovel!
