'The frame is a one-off designed by 'Sweary Bob' Stevenson at Spondon. It's loosely based on the Norton Featherbed frame, but built in ally and monoshocked. It's the last frame done by Bob before he retired and went to live in Cyprus. It's known to him as 'that piece of shit Harley' !!! I want a street-tracker look but also amalgamating bits of Ecosse Heretic, Confederate Hellcat and of course, XR750. The motor is a 2001 883 Sporty bored out to 1200. I'm having the crank hand-balanced and may replace the stock oil-pump for a Buell X1 pump to increase scavenging. Front end is Aprilia Mille, rear shock is Ohlins, wheels are Talon billet hubs laced to Excell rims. It will have a pair of Supertrapp cans (natch!), one-off stainless headers, plus a Rekluse semi-auto clutch as I have a right-arm Bracial Plexus.'
