Not really my thing to be honest, but that said, the red and white one seems to have something going on. Maybe as it's not as OTT as the others, but hell yeah, i could see me riding that.

That's my favorite one too but I don't believe him when he says 7400 miles on a 2003... That paint is fantastic and the raked look is awesome. Kinda like our BD's with bags... That is the same front wheel I bought for my Harley project except mine is an 18" wheel. I figure IF he did the work himself he has $4,000 into the upgrades so a 2003 selling for $4k - $5k plus the upgrades he is going to make $5k if he sells it now. I suspect he had the paint work done so maybe $3k.... at $14,500 but the reserve isn't met yet...

Here is one where he only put a paint job on it and custom wheels and it's now at $10k for a 2000... $5k over book.... and 17k miles for a 15 year old bike? I guess used speedometers must be selling like crazy on ebay...

Bubba a prospect told a patch member he wanted to sell his bike but it had 180k on the spedo so he didn't think it would sell. The patch member told him to use a drill and turn the millage back. Two weeks later the patch member saw the prospect and asked him about the bike. The prospect said "ya, it now has only 12k on it". So the patch member says "so did you sell it?" Hell no says the prospect. Not with only 12k on it......

I didn't read the spec on it to be honest mate. It does seem like you are on to a winner with your build though. Love em or hate em, supply and demand is where the $$$$ are at. :2thumbs:

Thanks, I really don't need the money but designing and building bikes is where my heart is at and I hoped to awake others to the fact the "new" choppers are here. I know some guys are really hurting and can use the extra money. If they can find seed money they can make some good $$ by just doing this part time. It may not be their cup of tea but like you said supply/demand is where the $$ are at and you need to be at the leading edge to make it.... :up:

it's for the generation that rode Big Wheel's as kids!
Looks just as silly.

All is needs is an annoying sound (like the big wheel on concrete - hated that when I was in my apartment)

You nailed it, thats exactly what it looks like. Although I had a big wheel and this is still damn ugly in my book. But to each his own!
