Sculpted beauty
Another view of the fender - over the fender, then sculpted together.
Expen$ive forward control$ need not apply
The stock foot-pegs and controls were mounted forward, using the hand-made chin scoop to cover the bracket.
Original ends were welded to the new linkage
Notice the extended shift linkage (hand-made) to allow the forward controls.
"Wild Rice" took about a half a year to complete, and she's still being added to.
Although Omer had to leave the N.E. area for work, the yankee spirit that it took to build this bike will continue.
The project was built under the direction and skills of 'Ogar' at Cooper's Motorcycle Salvage in W. Franklin NH. Very few parts were bought from a catalog, with most being fabricated by Ogar.
The front fender over the fender and the custom light as an example. Much time and skill went into the project, and it shows.
It also shows what can be done without 'buying' your custom from a catalog of add-ons, and letting your imagination go.
