\"Custom<\/a><\/p>\n

Nigel Loller<\/a> enjoys building unique things such as his custom Harley motorcycle. The project started with a bent Harley-Davidson frame purchased from another motorcycle builder who went out of business. They built the frame as a custom softail for a 300 mm wide rear tire. Nigel retained the Harley’s headstock, yokes, and fork but cut the frame in half under the fuel tank and on the downtubes. The back-half of the frame was custom fabricated by Nigel with a wheelbase 125 mm longer than factory. The motorcycle is powered by a flat-twin engine and four-speed manual transmission from a Citro\u00ebn 2CV<\/a>. The engine features custom intake manifold with factory factory Citro\u00ebn carburetors (seen in video below) that were later swapped to Mikuni carburetors. The transmission uses a welded differential and chain to turn the rear 230\/65\/17 wheel.<\/p>\n
