What a magnificent piece of history. John Harman was a master beyond equal back in the 70s! Great to see this machine looking like new and running great too!
Thanks for the compliment. I don't know if that was me you saw? Harry's place being Harry Blake's place or a different Harry? Sorry if it's confusing I just don't recall the encounter and don't want to be rude either.
As a matter of fact I do have an article written by someone with a methodical approach to tuning them. I didn’t need it but I’d be happy to share them with you.
I've had a couple pretty ridiculous offers from outside of the USA that seem to want to just put it away in their collections. Otherwise I haven't tried to pass it along yet.
Awesome bike. There's a video on here with that bike on a lift at Bill Holland's shop. ( Neighborhood Sportster, channel) I think he mentioned he was doing controls for it.
Would love to see it, send a link. I did have this bike up at Bill's to have him go over it and make a new sissy bar, clean up the foot controls and see if he remembered working on her back in the day. Turns out he did identify her a bike John built and said "by looking at the fork, John made those too, because he and I did them slightly different." So that was Kool to find out too.
Cool. Hey, is that shop in the video in Cali? I could swear, I heard Bill mention moving to Florida. I get people, once in a while asking if anybody still makes the "Spirder" front ends. I don't want to pass on bad information, saying, Bill's shop is in Fla. @@ProjectsMB
@tuck6464 that was one of Bill's shops, he's had a few. He just moved out of that one last month. He does still build front ends. I do not believe he moved to Florida. He can be reached through his Executive Choppers website.
I had a very serious offer from a Japanese collector but I hadn't put the original cases back in her at that time (still haven't had the time). This is my email: adventureland4me@hotmail.com
Everything about this chopper is perfect. Thank you for saving this piece of history 🤙🏼
Beautiful old chopper and thanks for saving a piece of chopper history, you did a fantastic job saving it.
@dapvettes thanks for taking the time to mention that, appreciate the sentiment. It was a labor of love learning how Harman thought through his builds

He was indeed ahead of his time
Nice job on the bike! Sounds great! What a great piece of history. Thanks for sharing.
Just beautiful, looks like you made a carberater out of a cell phone 😁 lol . That's a work of art 👍
What a beautiful bike and what fun that would be to ride !
So cool. I wish it were in my garage.
That's righteous.....I've seen this bike when you pulled up at Harry's place with it before it was redone.
Thanks for the compliment. I don't know if that was me you saw? Harry's place being Harry Blake's place or a different Harry? Sorry if it's confusing I just don't recall the encounter and don't want to be rude either.
Supernice !
Bike sounds awsome 😎✌🇺🇲
Great job! Love those lake injectors I've got a few myself. Do t happen to have any paperwork on tuning them do you?

@@ProjectsMB I've got a few of the carbs but haven't had a chance to really play around with them, I usually stick with the 70's Lectrons.
Nice digger or chopper.
Mark Simms signed His work .
What a beaut!
🇳🇿Wow that's Amazing 🇺🇸
Did you rebuild the front end? If you did, mind sharing some pictures? Ive always been curious how those springs mounted in those front ends.
Smart!
Beauty

Not sure I'm tech savvy enough to do that, but I'll give it a shot.
Was the shop (Bill's) you mentioned taking it to in Cali ?@@ProjectsMB
@@tuck6464 I found it. Thx for the heads up.
Cool.

Would you consider selling this mate?
