personal 1930s era Harley-Davidson factory

 Kevin Performed 99 percent of the work on his rolling stick of dynamite, including balancing the flywheels (and refining that balace) beyond factory specs, raking the neck on his personal 1930s era Harley-Davidson factory jig, stretching the swingarm 2 inches, dual-plugging the H-D heads, and building his own wheels from a rim and hub kit that he laced with traditional 40-spokes each.

      The rear Ness Tail Dragger Was Split up the middle 2 inches, then fiberglassed back together. The gas tank came from two tanks, whose convex sections were cut and swapped to become concave sections, eventually molded to create a unique single unit with side pockets. Kevin formed his saddle from a fiberglass mold poured over plastic wrap and tin foil that was laid across the seat area. The raw mold was cut and trimmed, then inkaid with welding wire, creating an exact design for NBI Upholstery to wrap with leather, padding, and felt.

       In summation, aviation's loss  ended up becoming motorcycling's  gain, and with this kind of power under kevin's belt, there is clearly no looking back.
