2005 CUSTOM CHOPPER

Details

For more than 20 years Rick Dore has steadily been turning out some of the best custom cars ever seen. His slammed and stylized lead sleds have taken numerous show awards, landed the man in several automotive Halls of Fame and won the respect of clients, fellow builders and industry watchers. Says Terry Cook, a former editor at Hot Rod magazine, 'Rick Dore creations are unquestionably the very best in the world. He has the ability to build cars and trucks that, on one hand, represent the epitome

of traditionally flavored custom cars, but at the same time he reaches out and goes where nobody has gone before.' The chopper on offer here was the first motorcycle to leave the Rick Dore Kustoms shop. It was built as the two-wheeled bookend to Dore's amazing 1934 Ford Roadster 'Flashback' and is finished in the same stunning pastel shade of Caribbean Lime paint. Power is provided by a RevTech 110cid V-twin engine working through a Baker 6-speed gearbox. It is housed in a Paul Yaffe softtail frame that delivers several inches of spine-friendly rear suspension. Wheels are a one-off design by Colorado Custom, carved from billet then chrome-plated. **TITLED AS A 2005 SPECIAL CONSTRUCTION** **MAY NOT BE ADMISSIBLE INTO CANADA DUE TO CUSTOMS REGULATIONS** **SOLD AS A PAIR WITH LOT 714**
