The Richardson's Harley-Davidson Fat '48

Warren & Kane want to make the bike look like what a modern take on board racer and a dirt tracker. So the tank was changed with a 1200 custom tank with a flush mount filler cap to give it more of a racer look. The boys fitted a set of bars of a Cross Bone’s to represent the board racer bars.

Jeff Elliot of Exquisite Airbrushing ( Exquisiteairbrushing.com) was approached to do the paint work, to a hot rod paint scheme that the boys drew up. They decided to build their own exhaust system so it would represent a 60’s home engineered tracker system.

At this stage Warren was involved in a horrific motorcycle accident that meant he could not help any further with hands on part of the build, so Kane single handily built the bike by himself.

The boys wanted to fit black machined accessories to keep the blacked out dark look that the bike has. A race tuner was fitted and tuned to the pipes and has a real racy sound to it.

Warren & Kane would like to thank the rest of the whole Richardson’s team for their support.

What was done:

REPLACED THE FUEL TANK TO GIVE THE BIKE A SLEEKER, RACER LOOK. REMOVED THE REAR NUMBER PLATE BRACKET FROM THE REAR OF THE REAR FENDER FOR THE SAME RESON AS THE TANK. IN HOUSE BUILT EXHAUST TO GET THE REAL FEEL OF A 60’S FLAT TRACKER

BARS CHANGED TO HELP LEAN OVER CLOSER TO THE SLEEK TANK AS IF RACING ON A BOARD TRACK OF THE ROARING 20’S
