Operation Flatline Sportster running Magnaflow 2-1
Hi guys, just wanted to share some pictures of the incredible Operation Flatline custom sportster, built by Racine HD of Racine, WI. It is currently in the running for best custom Sportster of the Harley Davidson Custom Kings competition. The bike is running our Riot 2-1 exhaust, which we think fits its style perfectly.
Some background info on the bike from Racine HD:
"When designing, we wanted to build a bike with a low, mean stance but with factory styling cues. Our goal throughout the project was to use as much Genuine Harley-Davidson parts as possible by taking prominent design elements from other current models and making them our own. We also wanted to showcase our service department's fabrication abilities by making numerous custom and one-off parts. Thinking outside the box allowed us to create a very unique motorcycle. Some build details include: modified frame and front end (Fat Bob), jockey shift with internal clutch control, internal throttle, stock handlebar switch removal and relocation, sealed and modified swingarm for use as the oil tank (XR1200), Machete P&A wheels, V-Rod headlight, hand-made rear fender assembly, modified fuel tank (XG750), and more. We believe that we have created a sleek, modern motorcycle with a nod to vintage and Harley-Davidson styling."

Definitely! Since we dont own the pictures, please credit Racine HD and the photographer, Dat Nguyen. If you do end up posting, shoot us the link so we can like it! 
More pictures of the bike can be seen here:

The entire clutch/brake/throttle setup had us intrigued as well! Not something you see often.
The MSRP on that pipe is $759, but can be purchased from Revzilla for $683
We will be sure to post one in there shortly!

Had me until the jockey shift. Otherwise this is an absolutely stunning bike.
I guess I might as well get the magna flow for my bike since I am running it on my 335i and my F350.

Mean looking bike but don't think it has a front brake. Normally in these builds, the builders do away with the front brake as hinder them from achieving them the minimalistic clean looking front end.
