for some time,
so here is a real beauty, based on a 1947 Harley Davidson,
a board tracker, as I mention in the link a murderous sport,
but this one was built not for racing but for a custom bike show,
the builder is Andika of Kromworks who explains, “This bike was created as an iconic bike for
Suryanation Motorland which is one of prestigious customised bike events
in Indonesia, I
built this bike with my friend; his name is Lufti Ardika, We name this bike
‘Tosan Adjie’ which was derived from ancient Javanese language that means
Precious Metal, I
designed this bike using my own imagination" and with that Andika was ready to get started and selected a batch of 316 stainless steel from which
he would craft much of the bike,
the front took a great deal of trial and error to get it just
right, “It did not function properly at first. But that was the challenge that
I had to conquer, and finally it functions as it should,”
the legs are made from plate and given the precision needed for suspension components, the stainless had to be braced during welding due to its desire to bend under heat in any direction,
above the tank a pair of springs take care of dampening the force that is transferred via a set of handmade linkages,
each
cable on the bike is run in a unique way, with some sheathed, others running
through brass and others exposed in parts,
the whole deal is finished out with the massive 21 inch
polished rims wrapped in E270 Shinko rubber,
and here it is in action! you can follow the shop on Instagram, photography by Suryanation Motorland, and yes I do want one!
