Bitch.

It must be a strange sensation to come out of a turn grabbing a handful of chugging Knuckle while dragging a peg w/ a knee down.

 

[Voneville]

Other then being a little over raked it is one badass lookin cafe racer. (I hope that doesn't come off as being overly negative, critical, or anything else, I really do appreciate the effort and it's nicer then anything I've built). I bet my stock 78 sporty would smoke it, though

 

[Tony Bones]

It is over raked, but I'd still put on a funny looking leather suit for a chance to ride it.

 

[Voneville]

That's what I said about my first wife

 

[rukwikenuf]

cool as it may be, IMHO, a knuck does NOT belong in a cafe-style chassis!

 

[Ed]

rake bad
other stuff nicey

 

[Sporticus]

Rake aside, I'm trying to figure out something about that frame. Cool idea, but not the right home for a knuckle. How about an Evo, with 17" spoke wheels and triple discs. Kind of like a more traditional looking Buell. What is that piece of vertical tubing that separates the engine from tranny? It looks like it might have been a seat post in another life. I'd like to learn more about that frame.

 

[dgfironworks]

nice look, i agree the rake is a little too much and an evo would suit it better, but if you like ride like it stolen.
later

waste of an engine
waste of a frame

 

[Boa]

i'm pretty sure that bike was built by chica, for what it's worth. probably explains the excess rake

 

[Tony Bones]

Yes, Chica built it and yes, it's completely senseless...a lot like a chopped Ducati

 

[Ryno]

Zing!

Yes, Chica built it and yes, it's completely senseless...a lot like a chopped Ducati

 

[Tony Two Times]

Hear about another guy who builds the same sort of thing but they go, stop and handle. You guys ever hear of a bloke called Eric Buell ?

TTT

 

[caffeine]

what jw said.

 

[Brian Douglas]

waste of a frame

what frame do you think it is?
not f-bed
kinda like seely, but with single downtube....

looks one off to me....???

 

[Brian Douglas]

Yes, Chica built it and yes, it's completely senseless...a lot like a chopped Ducati

more like an egli vincent than a chopped duck

i like it, even with obvious departure from traditional cafe stuff like the rake and long wheelbase, which are glaringly intentional, and probably to a customer's spec......

 

[sumo]

doesnt do it for me that one but this is a cool harley cafe...

[Tony Bones]

That bike is amazing and makes Chica's look not so cool.

 

[Flat Ernie]

Hell yeah - gotta love Frankenstein!!

 

[sumo]
