He has had it for a few months now. Downtown Fullerton, but I think it is going to be moving somewhere in Santa Ana...

Shit, I posted the link w/o looking. Read the descriptions under project bikes or something like that.

Is this it?

from the site "...Before the days of ultra long forks, ridiculous one foot wide back tires and barley ride-able clown bikes, this is what they rode. They called 'em bobbers because the returning vets from WW2 stripped down the bikes and bobbed off the fenders. Now these bikes were cool! But they also had to be ridden, and not just to the local bar after being trailered 300 miles and sometimes not even on the pavement! You could find these machines tooling down the highway in packs on any given summer evening from Fontucky to Fresno, from Sanberdoo to San Jose and every joint in between. So this bike brings us back full circle...

The base of it all is the frame which is an exact repo right down to the cast sidecar mounts, pogo seat, and springer forks, with friction dampening of course.

The standard fat bob tanks and the 'ol reversed fl front fender is about it for the body work. While the moon oil tank scoffs at it all. Now that's where outward tradition ends and the business starts. The engine is a 103 ci, S&S bottom ended, STD headed, axtel barreled, titanium valved, ported, stroked, angel winged, ported, polished, carrillo rodded, highly tuned piece of chaos...chugging, rattling and shooting flames with all the finesse of bulldozer in a soda shop. Given the task of trying to rein all this in is a Prowler six speed gearbox through a Rivera pro clutch and a 520 chain. The wheels keep it all traditional with the wide whites and bias tread.

OK so this might not be the cutting edge of one sided swing arm, hidden controlled, electronic gizmo'ed air ride choppers, but you can find that kinda' bike at over a hundred different shops all with about twenty miles on 'em after four years of use. As for us, we'll see ya out at the track... dirt track that is!"
