All the heads we changed out to S&S high-compression heads that are copper-plated. All pushrods and engine

cover are copper-plated and the carburetor is a period-correct Linkert M51 with nickel plated 4' extension to pull carb out from the motor so you can see the detail and engraving on the scoop and bowl. 4-speed V-Twin manufacturing transmission with kick start. The tranny cover has been polished and engraved, BDL open primary with hand-painted graffiti on belt. All fuel and oil lines are copper with lots of coils put in.

This Rat-Rod bike is on air bags and lays frame. The headlight is an original brass Ford E&J from a 1920s Model T and the taillight is an original brass sidelight from a Model T. All brass on the bike is solid, no plating; there is a brass crown gas cap, brass grips, brass throttle housing, brass clutch handle, brass old-school risers and custom-made brass kick pedal.
