This is a really nice looking cafe, it's called Project Manxster. A new replica Norton Featherbed frame is mated to a 1998 Harley Davidson Sportster 1200 V-twin. The result is pretty sweet and if you like the Sportster engine, but you're tired of street trackers this is a nice alternative. The Manx bodywork almost takes your eyes away long enough to make you miss the … [Read more...]
1948 Harley Davidson Panhead Resto Mod
Purists are a hard group to please, this bike will send them running, but unless you look closely, all you'll see is a perfectly restored 1948 Harley Davidson Panhead. Then, upon closer examination, you notice a brand new S&S 88 inch stroker in place of the original engine, looking perfect, but obviously not from The Motor Company.

A rather colorful write up extols the illustrious history of the brand and its previous owners, but I wonder what a … [Read more...]
A Meticulous Restoration Sparks Thoughts of the Big Project
Browsing the motorcycles for sale listings I spotted this 1968 Suzuki T500 Cobra, a nice vintage 2 stroke, but the condition of the bike is far beyond what you would have found in any dealer showroom back in the 60s. I just can't see any flaws, so I thought I would check out the fellow who did the work, Jeff Weier. I've never heard of him, but if you head over to his website, … [Read more...]
Fully Restored 1943 Kettenkrad For Sale
Long time readers of The Kneeslider will remember we have written about Kettenkrads before, they're the World War II light tracked military transport with a motorcycle front end built by NSU for the German army. The first time you see one it seems odd, but then you get a smile on your face because you just know it would be a hoot to drive off road. Over at Uncommon Motors we … [Read more...]
