Buell Custom Bobber

By

Attention Erik Buell, are you seeing this? Attention Harley Davidson, have a little room for new ideas in your design department? Twice in the past week this Buell custom look has come to our attention, this example, far more thought out and practical than the first one we highlighted a few days ago. In this example, the footpegs are under the rider where they should be to … [Read more...]

Ducati Powered Custom Choppers

By

After our recent look at the Revelation Honda sport custom and a Buell sport chopper it seemed only right to go Italian and take a look at these Ducati powered choppers from 13 Choppers of Oceanside, Calilfornia. 13 Choppers has been around for a couple of years and received some attention when the choppers first appeared in a few shows and the motorcycle press picked them … [Read more...]

Instead of forward controls you have rearsets but you also see the extended front fork and chopper sized 300 rear tire. It's low and long but how many water cooled choppers have you seen lately? The riding position is actually more drag bike than chopper, so what exactly is this? This … [Read more...]

Alfa Romeo 2.5 liter V6 Harley

By

The site says this is a 2.5 liter Alfa Romeo V6 in a Harley frame of some sort. It uses the Harley 4 speed transmission and is, check the photo, a kick start! No other details. I saw this on Jalopnik where they say it's from Australia but nothing on the site indicates that so who knows? Interesting alternative to the Boss Hoss. Italian Cars (scroll down the page) via … [Read more...]
