Yet another from the Efab archives. This bike is powered by a 1947 knucklehead- 61 inch/Baker 6 speed. This was the first time I had worked with pure copper. The front end was my version of a leaf sprung fork; the second version of the same design found on the “Devil may Care” bike. The wheels were made by Rumble Customs- but he stiffed me for the hubs, so I made my own. The front is a 23″, which at the time was not a common thing. I wanted the bike to look like it was viewed from a foreshortened perspective like a circus mirror.. with a bias to the front.
