Short YouTube video on the bike>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBsWJEElZCw
This Peagan Gold painted powerhouse is a hands down handful. Its styling is reminiscent of a WW II Japanese Bomber, with enough extra sparkle to keep you seeing stars. The complete bike was designed by heavy hitter and tv mogul Billy Lane of Choppers Inc. He built this bike for himself, completing most of the design and fabrication on July 4th, 2001. This bike is small, low and fast it is everything the perfect chopper should be. Billy chopped away at the vintage frame, gusseting and molded a fat-single downtube to the stock forward casting, and relocating a “new’’ 1935 neck, a bit lower than stock. It helps give this bike that attitudinal stance. Billy cut the backbone to add more spinal curvature, sectioned and widened the lower rails and the rear end. This truly one-off frame retains all its Milwaukee castings, its updated form, and includes some serious touches of class that the factory forgot. The Knuckle Sandwich bike is the tastiest example of how to blend old school cool with a slice of future technology for the comfort of the modern rider. This is one of the most iconic builds Billy has ever done, and it is currently up for sale to the public. Whomever takes the rare opportunity to purchases and own this unique bike better be ready for a lot of bike, and awareness that you are getting your hands on a serious piece of timeless Americana!
