A frame, tank, rear fender, and engine is nice, but it is much more ridable if you add wheels. To hold the front wheel and the frame together Tom wanted a "really outthere" set of springers, but when springers are extended as far as he wanted them they become entirely too weak. Not one to give up, Tom had D&D put together a set for him extended 15 inches, and using a set of cut-down and chromed early Ford radius rods for the back legs, which gives the extenders plenty of strength. The chroming on the springers, as well as the rest of the chroming on the bike, was done by Father and Son Chroming in Glendale. High stacks are the "in" thing these days for exhaust, and Tom isn't one to buck the "in" crowd, so he just made a set that was better looking than any of the others around, and then had a sissy bar built to enhance them that is just plain out of sight. He decided against the fanciness of the twisted type of bar, and instead went with straight square stock, and an unusual shape. As the crowning touch he had a World War Two bayonet chromed and installed at the top of the sissy bar. Finishing the bike off took almost as long as the major construction, thanks to Tom's attention to detail.  More >
