Yeah. Looks good. we drove pastTerry's house in bel-air bluffs Florida last september.
TheSunshine bikeis probably the best bike I think I have ever seen come outta OCC (or pre OCC). They had it on a show a couple of years ago and described it as being built in the 70's then forgotten about till recently.
Igenerally don't like those guys or the bikes they build. The sunshine bike was a coolbike though. It's too bad that they concentrate onassembling junk and overacting nowadays instead of building cool bikes.

That bike and their new Green Meanie production bike are based off of the old style shovelheads when it was common to chop/remove fender struts and mount the fender off the swingarm (obviously a solo bike only).

i was thinking of doing that on my sporty, cutting the struts is the easiest, adapting the fender maybe with some help or a fiberglass fender coul work , the only thing is that my girl might wanna come with me in the summer so i dunno wot to do, now i have that passenger pillow that i only install when she wants to ride but it doesnt look good

I gotta say that's one of the coolest bikes to come out of OCC. First time I seen that one, I like it.
