CURRENT PROJECT
[click images for

I am about to complete the building of a Harley-Davidson®
45 that has the battery in the seat post, belt drive front and rear,
hydraulic clutch and hydraulic disc brakes, foot shift with a ratchet
top & reverse that works like the old 4 speed ratchet (mounted on the
box in the same fashion), brass-nickel-copper flames made from material
that I folded like Damascus steel - note the panhead toolbox (with snap
holes) under the seat. There will be no color on this bike just a matt
finish clear coat to appear as no coating at all.
