Kenta Falkered Built in Sweden

Everything started when I bought a fork with turkflippers from a friend at the club. It stood for 12 years against the wall waiting for the right project.
Then I came across a frame and wheels that I received in payment of a customer, then the thinking started off making a Sportster Chopper.
Another friend of mine had a sportster engine. Now it was time to start. We had for some time to look at older builds from the late 70’s so it was time to get started. Thought it was fun to mix a little of the new with the old style was fitting considering that I had a lot of parts lying around.
Got to start by making the fork fit the frame, it came from an old Honda chopper so it became a part of cutting welding before it was on, then I made the sissy bar in stainless as well as the chain guard.
For the rear we used radial calipers from a newer Honda with its own bracket and a brake disc from the Italian OMP until we got a PM setup. OK with the brake disc from the Swedish Grand Prix.
The paint is by Bosse Jensen one off Swedens best painters! I had a wish it would be green, but the results you see yourselves, very surprised but I think it was fantastic.
The bike is really good to drive although only driven approximately 1500 Swedish mil so far.
Our MC club Arapaho MC ride down to the Mediterranean Sea and run around at the French, Italian and Spanish Riviera. When I go on a customized Softail somewhat easier to pack on , it’s more comfortable to ride around on it.
