Hemi Hawthorne

[MotoMagz]

My build thread is over at Motorizedbicycles.com but I wanted to share my finished bike here too. Hemi 212cc motor with billet flywheel +8 degree timing,header and a custom intake with a Mikuni 22. Bike has a custom frame and working leaf springer fork with truss supports. 24" worksman trike rims laced Sturmey archer 90mm drums front and back with 11g spokes. Yep it moves....

24x3 Felt Thick bricks tires. Mounted on 44mm Worksman trike rims.

Beautiful bike, very nice looking. The headlight placement just seems a bit off to me.

I'll agree great craftsmanship, but the light and motor mounts seem like after thoughts.

 

[MotoMagz]

Headlight are mounted off set on lots of vintage and vintage looking bikes View attachment 34677 View attachment 34678 View attachment 34677

Wasn't meant to knock your preference or build.. sorry. The seat is a work of art.... If it were my own those would be the only things and a vintage peep mirror that I'd prefer to change to meet own taste.. it's very well crafted.

Right, it is a personal preference. Overall it is a very nice build, each has their own preference for the details.

Did you build the frame and tank?

 

[MotoMagz]

The frame and tank were built by Hot Rod Harry Then I added seat,leaf

fork and motor mount..

 

[imthegrt1]

what he charge you to make that frame?

 

[MotoMagz]

He was selling on EBay for$800. I bought it direct from him and it was the last of this style. It is built like a tank..I have had most of the top built frames under a grand and this is by far the best. He was suppose to start making a different style but I have not seen anything new from him.
