The colour is Sassy Grass Green, as used on Plymouth Barracudas around 1970-71. My fave muscle car... Well chuffed with the way it came out. Inspiration for the design (ie strong colour with satin black bits) as well as the front end was Wolle's "Sprint Scooter&Service". The ambition engine-wise was to build a fast and strong touring engine, that would pull up steep Norwegian hills with a passenger at 70-75mph...
A little run down of the specs:
Front end: PX fork, shortened 30mm with S&S shortened damper and Grimeca disc brake, slightly customised one off Rally/Sprint mudguard, widened handlebars.
Frame: Removed all seams, chopped arse end to flush fit the S&S seat tank, rear tunnel lights, one off custom side panels ++
Engine: Malossi 210 w/MMW head, 60mm Meceur crank, S&S reed, Keihin PWK 35, MMW clutch, fully ported block, PEP+ 2.0 exhaust, std gearing. Not properly jetted or dyno'ed yet, but goes fairly well...
Wheels: Front: Wide rim with 110/80-10 Rear: S&S Wide tyre kit with 130/70-10
Had a lot of help with welding, paint and engine build, and I owe Wolle at Scooter & Service in Hamburg a big thanks too. A pleasure to deal with. I have some more photos in the works, will get them posted when I can.
Cheers, Frederik
