I picked this up yesterday and I need a little help identifying the brake system.
The whole bike is a mishmash of parts (I think whatever they had on hand to make a bike) but I don't recognize the brake system.
Hwat the hell is that? I ain't never seen nuttin like that before. Hwat the hell is that?
I believe it's called a motorcycle...
The wiring harness is of the era that used the round plugins for the flashers, the motor is a head breather, it's got a twinkie seat, rear tire is a 180, not sure where he got the rear fender, and I have no idea about the breaks except that they don't work.
Oh and it's got an aftermarket frame.
Those wheels are pure billet era. I bet someone paid a pretty penny for those back in the day.
No idea on the brakes. Are those fronts single piston units? Looks like it. Makes me wonder why anyone would go to the expense of new calipers and not get a performance upgrade out of the process.
Who made the frame? What's your plan here? Gonna try to fix her up for a flip, or is this going into the stable?

My plan is to make some money fixing up so that it will run for the owner.
The owner swapped a perfectly good Dyna for this thing title for title.
Now I like softails over Dynas but I wouldn't have made that swap.
The down side is whoever took this thing apart took the bolts and washers with him when he left.
