A Flatheaded Run Hog -Choppers magazine 1973

I first saw this bike when Irish Rich shared it online and I kept an eye out for the magazine. The bike looked the business and I wanted to know it's story.  From the first line of the article I was not disappointed...


And this last shot is from Irish Rich's Applied machete blog. It's after the Choppers article because the K-model he spoke of has been built is in the background. Looks like the only difference is the blacked out pipes. Normally I'm not an 8 over with a little bit of rake kinda guy but this chopper just looks ready to roll the miles. Which is exactly what it sounds like it did. So much inspiration in reading about that being done with these early motors and Flat headed ones at that!
