Rowland, Sr designed, built, and painted this machine. He hand made
the TT pipes, brake pedal assembly, foot peg mounts, and coil/battery
mount. In addition, he built the swingarm triangle to frame stiffener
and narrowed and welded both engine side covers. He also cut the
frame and changed the fork rake. The engine is running constant
loss from a small battery. The rear shocks are Ohlins. The engine is slightly modified and you will have to ask the builder for details ;-) |
