Up for auction is a one off hand built chopper built by my shop, he Butcher Chop in Dry Fork VA. You can googleus to see some of our other work. This bike was built for my friend and the painter of all of our bikes. He runs a paint set up called 33 Kustom Kolor so you can research him too if you'd like. This bike started as a 1979 Harley Davidson Superglide before being transformed into what you see in the pics above. The front section of the frame along with the VIN number was left in tact and the back half of the frame was modified into a rigid and also has a hint of a dropped seat area which gives a clean line with the handcrafted leather solo seat. The 39mm front end has been shaved and polished and holds a 21" spool wheel with an Avon Speed master tire. The oil tank is also a one off verticle piece built by The Butcher Chop and was chromed by Brown's Plating in Tennessee before they retired. The primary is a 1 1/2 BDL set up and works flawlessly. The exhaust is all stainless steel and also built in house which was polished to a mirror finish. The midmounts are also one off stainless steel pieces that were polished. Another one off stainless steel piece is the unique sissy bar that is clothes pinned at the top, ffset at the bottom for fender alignment, nd is constructed of a solid piece of rod not pieced together. The taillight is a biltwell piece. The handlebars are also one off stainless steel. The tank is a custom hand made tank that fits the lines of the bike perfectly and the paint on the bike was all done by the owner (Jason Hancock of 33 Kustom Kolor). The engine is a factory Harley shovelhead and is a 80 cubic inch model with an H grind cam, olid lifters, &s e carb, nd polished rocker boxes. Now for the bad stuff, he transmission leaks like the majority of the Harley 4 speeds do. The other issue is that the front cylinder smokes. The engine runs like a top but the top end will need freshening up to correct the smoking issue. Aside from those 2 issues and the usual light oil seepage from the rocker boxes etc. the bike is solid and is super easy to kick and fires up every time. I'm selling the bike for the owner but if you have any questions please ask prior to bidding. The bike is being sold as is and has no warranty. Thanks for your interest and good luck!
