Greasy, no. Just no.
Would I suggest you turn your 'Cuda into an Oscar Meyer wiener mobile? I'm not a purist - but I am a connoisseur! Jesus u guys. So much good stuff. That everyone has their own vision only makes it better. And when I say Jesus, I mean the welder for Butcher Garage - of course. Speaking of BG: I think they are incredible fabricators - but their end product is somehow just not great in proportion. The fit of the mud guard to the front wheel. The rear of the scoot to the back wheel. I'm a critic of S&S's cowl sitting too high also. Everyone has their own eye. It's the front wheel fit to the mud guard, the rear wheels placement in the curve of the frame. Etc. So I'm not a purist - but I love the best of what the eyetalians created. I'll go 8" wheels - the wide frames just look so good when "low slung". That's my vibe. What power plant makes it go? I like powerful and reliable. Gonna have to consider. Like the front drum that works. Novel. So maybe. Simple is good! ![]() |

Great minds. In fact - hydro clutch to match might be clean. Polished aluminum or chrome. Not black. Like the vote for the SSC disc. Bonus: I want my sidecar wheel to operate off the FRONT brake. Hydro would help. |
