1974 Ironhead Hamms Bike Bobber
http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ram/mcy/1956277741.html
One off custom Bobber built by Fast Five Cycles of St. Paul MN. We bought this bike as a complete runner, almost all original 74 XLCH in October 2009. We wanted to build something unlike all of the "Bike-in a-Box" builds you see running around. This is one head turner people just can't ignore! Using a weld on hardtail we got the elongated look we wanted. We decided to stick with the stock 18" rear wheel because it really gives it that skinny board track racer look and feel. Up front we replaced the front end with Triple trees and Fork tubes off of a 91 FXR, this gave us the dual disc brakes and a beefy look. Handlebars are one off with risers that actually drop down instead of being on top of the trees. They give you that long and low look and feel when riding. Seat is one off Blue Metal flake with black and white Pinstripe stitching. Gas tank is off of a 1975 Harley SX 175 dirtbike. Most people think its a honda tank because it's stamped out, but this bikes all harley. Oil tank is a ACTUAL vintage 70's HAMM'S Beer Keg!! Engraved and visable "Property of Theo Hamm Brewing Co." One of the coolest things is the HAMMS beer tapper used as a shifter handle on the Jockey shift with Hand clutch! Exhaust is one off (And not quiet...... at ALL!) Flat black with brass tips. Motor was completely tore down cases split all gaskets, bearings, piston rings, etc were replaced. Motor runs like a TOP and fires on the 1st or 2nd kick. Andrews Y grind cams were installed and give a ton of low and mid range tork! All oil lines are one off polished copper and really set the motor off!! Oil cooler up front to help keep temps down. This bike is meant to win Shows, Get looks, and most importantly be Rode!! Carb is off of a 2004 Night Train. An obvious upgrade from the stock sporty carb!
This Bike took "Best of Show Bobber" Award at the 2010 Donnie Smith Bike Show!!
