Who remembers "Detail Freak" by Allen Stubbings from 1970s chopper mags? 📖 This incredible survivor is a piece of custom motorcycle history we finally got a look at in person at Born-Free 13.
Let's break down the some of the ~Details~ on this legendary machine:
⚡️ The Stance: Muscle bike style before it was even a defined style of chopper, featuring a custom single downtube frame and rolling on a solid mag rear wheel without a sissy bar
⚡️ Up Front: Super narrow drag bars (Throttle Addiction SKU: 3208) and an aggressive dual front brake setup
⚡️ The Bodywork & Paint: Covered in tons of gold leaf, detailed with classic Panhead star gas tank emblems and a Lucas tail light out back with frame molding everwhere
⚡️ Transmission: Exposed open belt primary to keep that race-inspired look.
⚡️ The Heart: A 1936 Knucklehead bottom end paired with a Shovelhead top end breathing through an iconic S&S teardrop air cleaner. (Throttle Addiction SKU: 91139)
