Yeah..it's what you think it is..a Hurst shifter arm being used as a brake anchor arm..I know, it was a first for me too LOL!!!!
I still can't figure out why this brake line goes UP the downtube and over the heads back down to the caliper???? Sharp eyed vultures will take note of early Panhead frame being used as a very good starting point but I guess the "party favors" took over after that because the rest of the bike is FUCKED to say the least!!! As a true motorcycle enthusiast I could not in good faith watch that frame being subjected to such atrocities so I rescued it from it's life of Hell, it's the least I could do..I know, I know I'm just too kind for this cruel world..Roadside Marty

I'd just like to know which Supreme Master Builder is responsible for this rolling masterpiece.
ReplyDeleteOK, the shifter as brake stay I can see. The brake line not so much. I'm guessing it was the only line he had so he just wound it around until he ran out of slack! Some people should not be allowed to play with Dad's tools.
ReplyDeletei hope this atrosity becomes a parts bike!! damn who knew it was this bad off?
ReplyDeleteI like that frame.
ReplyDeleteThat’s a lot of damn heat on the brake fluid.
