Smokeout pic of the day

This bike gets my vote for the 2nd best bike at the Smokeout West 3 and it wasn't in the show.

Period perfect! Looks like it's off the pages of a 1969-70 Big Bike magazine.

It's so cool, I'm starting to question if it was the best bike there.
I only have some minor taste/choice issues with the fork brace, the long risers, and maybe the bars. The long risers would look better if he used a 1948-59 top tree that had the wider distance between the mounts. A cool way to raise the bars is to use the stock 1960-72? handlebar riser with dog bones for extra height, similar to Fonda's Captain America but, his used the earlier 1948-59 risers.

More SOW3 pics. to come.

Smokeout West 3 Best of Show

Just in from AZ. It's been a week and a half since I could post anything.

First up. This clean little Ironhead wins MY pick for "Best of Show" at the Smokeout 3. I usually don't like the way Sportsters are chopped (most guys don't get the proportions right), but, this one just plain Rules! What really surprises me, is how much I like it, considering that there are quite a few things I'd have done different.

Great Stance!


Vintage S&S carb, cut cam cover, shortened peg, and custom shifter support are all very cool touches.

Hat's off to the guys at the Foundry

Good Karma. Everything just comes together right on this bike.

More from the Smokeout 3 soon!
