'86 Nighthawk SF

[Speedfiend]

I just found this pic of a bike I did a few years ago. I'm mostly into Brit stuff, but a good friend asked for help. This is what we came up with. I would've liked to jack the ass end up a bit, but the owners like 5' nothin. We basicly just started hacking shit off. I sectioned the old seat cowl and molded it to the side covers and laid up a new seat pan. We also made the mini fairing and some other crap. Then rino-lined it. Now the short litttle fucker is riding around in assless chaps and football shoulder pads looking for a post-apocolyptic waste land to pilliage.

whats up with the truck? 52'-53'?

The trucks a '53 F-250. I like a long bed cause you can put the gate up when your carrying bikes. So even if it falls over, it won't fall out. Been in my family since '57. My uncle was gonna restore it. He got it half way apart, then lost intrest. I'm pulling the 263 flathead and putting in a 302 along with some airbags. Its gonna be traditional rod outside with all the creature comforts inside.
