One day Ken called us from Scotland.
He had seen one of our bikes in a magazine and wanted to know if we could build him one too. ‘No prrroblem, mate’ we said in our best Scottisch accent.
Later we found out Ken actually had already bought a L&L attackit frame for a 2009 Sportster from us and had done some work on it already. We just had to finish it.
The roller was sent to Holland and we started wrenching on it. Ken was pretty specific about what he wanted. He even made some cool computer-images of his bike to be.
We handfabbed some one-off parts like the RSD style pipes and simplified forward controls. Ken liked to have a side-bag so we made him a bag and had it upholstered by Karin van Vliet, a bag following the lines of the frame. He also wanted to rest his arse on a large tractor-seat.
One look at it and we knew we had to do what we like best. Chop the damn thing!
So we chopped of the sides, added some extra steel and had the whole thing brassed. Yeah, now it looks good. A lot of work went into the small details.
Since Ken really preferred a black and gold paintjob we also incorparated a lot of Brass elements. The Brass Pegs and Grips are one-offs for instance. Master pintsriper El Cheapo from Belgium came to Holland to do the striping.
It says ‘Dusgadh’ on the gastank which is ancient Gealic for ‘resurrection’.
There is a Dragon on the tank too.
The Dragon has always played a big part in Gealic and Scottish mytholgy.
El Cheapo gave it his best and created a bitchin’ pinstripe-dragon.
Recently Ken picked up the bike and drove it to Scotland. The next day we got an e-mail that him and his mates were very impressed by the work we did.
They had just been sitting around the bike for hours admiring every bit of handywork. Sweeet!
Blinkers work as rearlight too. Something we did not invent but Harley did. Nice.
Our Scottish customer wanted a tractor seat. It looked pretty awfull to tell yáll the truth. So we chopped it into the right form, added some extra steel, made a support to mount the springs and hinge on and had it brassed. And, hell yeah. Now it looks like it is supposed to!

We made this bag follwing the lines of the frame. Karin Van Vliet did the leatherwork. When you look closely you’ll find the pinstripdragon embeaded in the leather. We kept it subtle, we did not want no loud sidebag.
Just the right Stance, Frisco and Tokyo styling combined in one, mixed with some Scottish influences as well.

One-off shifter controls, clean, simple and very Sturdy. This aint no mickey mouse stuff!
Ken wanted a big 23 inch frontwheel which is making the entire bike look a lot larger. Also look at the intricate striping on the springer. El Cheapo definitely is THE MAN!

Brass petcock. We welded the bung into the lowest part of the gastank to be able to use the max of the gas. Looks cool too!
L&L is dealer for Tokyo Thug Chopperparts from Japan. This is a TT Pogo handlebar. We used the stock Harley controls in combination with one-off brass grips. Looks pretty damn cool.

L&L Springer discbrake. No hightech brakesystem but way better than the stock drum.
We mounted one of our Fattop airfilters. Instead of chrome we had it painted and pinstriped making it fit in better with the rest of the bike.

This aint the so-called money-side of the bike, but hey, we like it anyway.
L&L Heatshield , modified to fit the handmade exhaust, also, the new L&L ingnition cover combined with a brass maincover.
