The heart of this motorcycle is a rebuilt 1975 Shovelhead engine by Scott Church. Finished in a striking shade known as Too Sexy Red by Bowers Paint, the bike features a minimalist design that combines a Sportster fork with a Paughco chopper chassis. Balancing style with rideability, it is equipped with modern 21-inch front and 19-inch rear wheels, both fitted with high-performance Pirelli tires. Additionally, the rear braking system uses a caliper-and-rotor configuration, moving away from traditional drum brakes.
