There’s no electric start, and there’s no rear springs—the welded-on hardtail is SPEEDKING’s own design. So if you want to ride this sweet Shovelhead, you’ll have to make due without some of the more modern creature comforts. But damn, does it look hot!

SPEEDKING owner Jeff Cochran has the eye for detail you’d expect from a photographer, and a sense of style that feels classic without being cliche. He’s taking reservations for five more custom builds—all proper matching numbers Harley-Davidsons—to fill up next year, so if you like what you see and you’ve got the cash, head over to the SPEEDKING site and stake your claim. If you’re broke like me, just enjoy the photos below!
