I showed a guy at work and he likes them, Been around for a few years but for anyone who hasn't seen it yet http://www.honestcharley.com/honest-charley-flathead-ford-v8-motorcycles.html
Honest Charley's Speed Shop had one on display at the NSRA Nats around 4 or 5 years ago and offered them for sale in their store. The one on display was painted black and had a springer front end. If I recall, it was priced around $20K.
Sorry, but I'd be filing this one with the " '55 Chev roadster" from yesterday. I think that some things are better left undone. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
back in the 1970s, there was a bike shop in bell gardens,calif called unique customs,( shop was in the movie mask),doyle, the owner, put a big block chevy in a harley,and it was a two wheeler. sorry, i dont have any pics, allthough i was only about 10 or 11 , but when he fired that thing up, i could hear that bike from my house two blocks away.after seeing that flathead bike, it just brought back memories.filthy frank.
Well my bike is a '42 45 bobber with a XA springer and i'm building a bored and stroked 45 motor to repace it that is gunna be 57 cubes with a KR upper, so yea i know all about the normal stuff just thought this was an interesting concept
This line on the site made me laugh. WARNING: Riding motorcycles is dangerous and can result in accident, injury or death. Flathead motorcycles are not suitable or intended for all riders and conditions. Operators/owners assume all liability for safe operation and suitability of purpose. Wow, riding motorcycles is dangerous, and you can get injured . . What next? I'm hoping that eventually there will be enough disclaimers on everything that all disclaimers will be removed and automatically implied.
Is that 42 a XA? Or just the front end? If so do you want to sell the XA Motor, We have one but the motor is in pieces. If you have a complete motor, I'm Intrested. We have a 42 with a flathead motor (harley) that has a holster for a thompson machine gun, which is pretty cool. Your bike should be real nice, post some pics when you get a chance.
Just the front end, about 6 or 7 years ago i did know a guy that had a motor, but he moved Heres my new 45 motor dont have a full bike pic right now http://www.jockeyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=19665#post19665
