Top Fuel II is one bad to the bone Sportster. Started as a 1981 1000cc Ironhead motorcycle, thats about all you'll notice as stock on this heavily modified Sporty. If your into NASCAR, you may have deja-vu of Ned's #11 Ford Galaxie race car as endless hours were put into creating this scoot to pull off that feat.
The end goal?? DP Customs wanted to create an uncluttered, clean OLD-SCHOOL HOT ROD! They believe (And we concur) that they hit this one out of the ballpark!!!
Last, Top Fuel II was created as a tribute to DP Customs first ever rigid custom scooter, Top Fuel... I just thought I had to share the first version, which IMO Top Fuel II beats lickety split!!
As a footnote to this weeks POW, I'd like to announce that Snowman has graciously passed the torch back on over to myself as the curator of the weekly POW. (POW=PHOTO OF the WEEK) I did the POW for a year or so before giving the duty to Snowman... and he did a wonderful job sharing many, many motorcycles with us over the time he handled the POW honor. I'll be making a post in the XLForum, but I'm going to need LOTS of bikes to run here... Buells, Ironheads, Nightsters, ANY and ALL Sportsters & XL based motorcycles. PLEASE send me a PM if your bike fits the bill, and do respond if I send you a PM... this will be run WEEKLY, every Sunday without fail. Help me do my job well by sending over any Sporty that you think MUST be a POW!!! A special THANK YOU goes to Snowman of the XLForum for doing such a great job showing us many, many fine Sportsters.
I'll post first, I really think this is a top notch custom... I mean, whenever (I been saying it for YEARS) I chip up a sporty for a hard tail, mine is gonna be more rat than rod... But this one took no shortcuts, WOW. Nice flipping bike, right guys?!?
Wow, sharp looking bike and I really like those colors!
