I asked the owner about it. He said this show was the first time out for the bike . He has ridden it and gets plenty of odd looks. He got the idea while moving an engine in his shop. The engine was out of a car, I think on a cart. There was a bicycle behind it in the shop and from a distance it looked like the engine was in the bike. An idea was spawned.......
Most of the parts are the real deal. The really heavy stuff that is painted[block, bell housing , etc.] is cast out of Styrofoam.
Upon close inspection of it this creation is awesome. It really looks like the real deal. Usually on stuff like this one can quickly tell the fake parts. On this I could not. This fellow is a real artist.
The welds on the framework are perfect. Notice what he used for the gusset plates.Just a great job all around.
