wrecked 750 honda building the bike

Tachometer was in place of the Harley spedo. and switch was wired to work as well. I did the airbrush work, not Fransetta but of that style. Bending the seat pan in the old king/Queen style, attaching it to the frame at the rear of Fat Bobs. I bent steel rods to make the duel tube sissy bar and attached them to the frame in 4 spots. Turn signals were built into the front down tubes and the rear sissy bar. Wrapped Oil tank and battery fitted under the seat.

In 1974 I built a bike. This is what I started with, as well as Broken ribs,wrist, collar bone.�After Cutting the engine out of the frame, dismantling everything to see what parts I could use. I found an old set of 5.8 gal. fat bob tanks. They were the exact width as my engine, and a big gas tanks were a priority. I ordered a softail frame from GME frames,with 5 degree rake. A set of 10 inch overstock tubes.

Triple tree, lower tubes were sent out to be turned down clean. laced a 21in 3.75 wheel to the stock front hub, laced a 16in fatty to the rear. I was able to order bobbed rear fender and cut the stock front fender down. Coils were located directly under the fat Bobs. Attached to the triple tree, a square Cadillac headlight with 3in spedo as well as the disk brake both attached to the front wheel by woven stainless steel lines.
