Default My Buddy's New Custom!!

I know it's not a Dyna but I figure you guys could appreciate it. Plus I spend 99% of my time in this forum. Anyway, here is his bike. It's a brand new build with a custom built springer and bars. It's got an 80" Evo, 5 spd. Indian tranny, BDL drive, Paughco frame, and alot of cool touches and custom fab pieces. The pictures don't do it justice...the bike just flat out kicks a$$. We were going to build a bike for him but a local guy (who also owns a Street Bob) just finished it and wanted to build something else so he sold it cheap, I should say practically gave it away in my opinion. Plus, it's pretty much exactly what my friend wanted to build minus a suicide shift. So now we are both riding and are just going to focus on my build as soon as my frame gets here. Let me know what you think of his bike!!

I do like that bike. If I am able to find a used bagger I want for my long riding I'm going to turn my SG into a retro bobber.

I think it's awesome! I love the original civillian olive green. Isn't that just a tad greener? I like it too. Give me a retro bobber over a modern chopper any day of the week!

The paint isn't quite as bright as the pic shows but it is a bit greener than the olive color. It's so light that it's pretty quick. It's a blast to ride as well.
