Bobbers, stockers... It's all good...
Gotta be the acid ...AJH said:maybe it was the 1 and only hit of acid I did in the 80's but that looks like a big twin flattie to me, nice big jugs, vl frame, great sled in any event
So can these things actually run down the freeway at 80 MPH? I might know where I could pick me up one but is it really a practical runner for a daily deal? Do you need to put a later tranny on it from a big twin to make it freeway worthy? Never rode one and never rode with anyone who was on one. Rode a 3 speed flathead Indian once and that was one slow sum bitch and that's an 80".Apehanger Hank said:Who say's green is unlucky, but notice the number....911.

I've had and still have some fast bikes. I don't need fast, just no so slow I can't keep up with the pack.Too Many Projects said:If you want fast a 45 is not the place to look. At least not without a lot of work. They can be made into decent daily drivers that are freeway rideable but if quick is what you are looking for put the same money into an ironhead. Just my opinion.
Now then, where is that one you might be able to get, since I probably talked you out of wanting it? lol...
No problem. As long as it's a pack of 45s...kevinhog said:I've had and still have some fast bikes. I don't need fast, just no so slow I can't keep up with the pack.

I've seen these things only in pictures. Did anyone ever do a how to?
Yes go to Victory library, Panic has a how to booklet on it.kevinhog said:So that's a Sporty top on a 45 bottom. I have 2 ironhead motors under the bench, hmmmmmmmm....So will the bottom hold up?

I second that. It's been my screen saver since I saw it there.This sold for under $11k on eGay in October '05, I think. The pics with the ad were phenomenal, and the bike is possibly my favorite 45" of all time. I'm still kicking myself for not scrounging up the funds to buy it.
Funny - I remember that bike too. It definitely made an impression on me. I remember liking the pipes and thinking that's one of the few times I've seen a non-Harley tank on a 45 and liked it.Hellblau said:This sold for under $11k on eGay in October '05, I think.
