Only TOP QUALITY parts were used in the build! And.., it has a nice, clean and lean look to it too. Not pretentious and showy, just a VERY WELL built, great looking bike.
Per the request of the original owner, this bike is based on a Paul Yaffe Rigid Frame with 2 Stretch in the Backbone, 6 in the Down-Tubes and 40 degrees of Rake mated to Perse six degree Raked Triple Trees. The steering and handling is transmitted through 10 over Tubes which are mounted on HD Deuce Legs coupled with a Dakota Billet Flush Mount Axle. Other Paul Yaffe items include: Rear Fender, Gas Tank (stretched by Klock Werks), and the Oil Tank and Handlebars.
Performance Machine parts include: Villain Wheels, Matching Villain Rotors and Belt Drive Sprocket, Rear Drive-side Brake Assembly, Front and Rear Calipers, Renthal Grips, and Foot Controls.
Because the owner wanted this bike to ride smooth with little or no vibration and actually be COMFORTABLE, he chose to go with a Brand New Genuine HD Twin Cam 88B and then installed a 95 Big Bore Kit and a Mikuni 44mm Carb. The Transmission is also a Brand New HD 5 Speed. The exhaust is handled by Super Trapp Crack Pipes which have a VERY nice sound - not too loud but quite nasty sounding. The Rear Fender/Strut Configuration was custom fabricated by the Klock Werks team in their shop. (The tank was extended per the owner''s request and extends deep in the seating area.)

TOTAL COMPONENTS COST: $40,000+ (Approximate with Parts and Labor)
Note: Only CHROMED billet parts were used - not just polished. Using all chromed parts certainly adds to the overall cost and appearance of the bike, but most of all, it creates a FAR easier process of cleaning. All you do with this bike is just wash, dry, and use whatever detail product you prefer and this chopper looks like new again..!
Finally, it''s a no-brainer that this is a great value. With an initial investment of over $40,000, it''s very obvious this is the way to buy a Chopper rather than build one. When you combine the components it has, the dependability of the Harley Davidson powertrain and the looks, this is just simply a ton of bike for the money..!!
