...Hunt magneto were installed. A stroker lower end made out of old style 80 wheels which were off-set bored for late crankpins was made by Jack Atrell. The combination of the stroker and oversized 10.0:1 MC pistons brought the ol' panhead's size up to 88 inches. In addition, all the critical innards were polished, and sent out to E. E. Lindskog, in Bedford, Massachusetts, for balancing. The beads received a port and polish job, along with a set of 2-inch intake valves and a late model Tillotsen carb.  A lot of the bikes in his area are still running the ol' standby pipe and fishtails, but again, since be wanted to be a little different, a set of drag pipes and baffled dumps were used.  Scanlon shaved all but the top four cooling fins off the barrels, and then bad them polished and chromed. At the same time the rest of the -brightwork was done, with some of the parts (valve covers, pushrod tubes, transmission cover, and front end springs) getting the brass plating treatment, courtesy of South Shore Plating, Quincy, Massachusetts. The molded frame, cut down fatbob fender, and brass plated Sportster tank were all painted in black lacquer. To finish things off, drag bars were mounted on 8-incb risers AND 5-inch dog bones to clear the tank. A set of Cibies were chosen for nighttime jammin', and the seating is taken care of with a Bates solo seat and pilion pad. Although it turns cloudy and miserable nearly every weekend, Scanlon has still managed to get in a whole bunch of ridin' time. And, when the weather gets too bad he'll be right back in the shop makin' more changes. Who knows . . . maybe living where the sun don't shine all the time has some advantages.
