Wanted a 1 lunger. This Honda was available for the title. we used the neck for the VIN. Has 2 Harley 21" wide glide rims. machined the front hub. Used a 550 honda rear wheel hub for the brake. 2 set of custom made stainless spokes. everyother piece was had made! The headlight was the brass torch. Internal throttle grip. 1 brake the back. Just went 100 miles today 10-27. has a new york inspection. gas tank hand made has a solid brass screw cap filler. 12 volt electric system.
I painted all these parts with NASON single stage urethane, "slate gray" 1989 GMC truck color (a family thing! past deceased member)

So if you don't like other company's stuff, find a engine with a VIN. then buid your own cycle from scratch! This project took 3 years!
One of a kind in the world! How many guys can say this?
Just happened to be here at the right time. I know this is a wrong forum, but it works for me.
Hope some people appreciate this 2015 Wagner, 1982 honda, 1975 honda, 2010 Harley plus etc.
here are pics of the paint. and the finished product.
Thought I would share. Bob Wagner don't do the computer thing! He does not do digital pictures. I just had to!
