Built by Robbie Kerr from the customizing shop called Kootenay Motorcycle Art in Canada, this amazing bike that can lure anyone on the road is inspired by 1945 Harley Flathead. Dubbed the Glasgow Kiss, the bike is the modern interpretation of the 1945 classic with amplified proportions and a never seen before unique look. This bike was awarded with the “Partner Pick Of Excellence” during the 3rd round of the AMD Championship Of Bike Building at the IMS Show held recently in Seattle, Washington.
To maintain the proportions on the front, the bike has a 2 1/2″ tubes bended to create the Springer front end and its frame incorporates 2 x 18″ wheels, 300mm rear and 280mm front tire, and a specially fabricated frame with beefy 1 3/4″ tubing, a 39-degree rake and a 4″ backbone stretch. Many of its parts are fabricated by some best brains in the industry e.g. gas tank and rear fender were created by Fat Karz, oil tank by Roger Goldammer and other fabrication and machining tasks were looked after by Brendon Thompson.
To suit its aggressive looks, this road dragon is powered by 120″ JIMS motor equipped with an $&S carburetor. Engine is mated to a 5-speed Baker RSD transmission associated with an Evil Engineering 4″ open belt system with custom machined pulley covers. Braking to the beast is provided by inboard disc by HHI at the rear and 360 brakes at front.
