Description

So it is with a heavy heart I am parting ways with one of the best choppers on planet Earth Warpig at 68 just looking at it is a sin it needs to be in the wind if you know you know ongoing health issues mean its journey will continue on with a new rider.
The bike has changed slightly over the years with the addition of Spartan girders with a front brake and other real nice touches which do not detract from Georges original build - details above
Imported a couple of years ago as a 1947 Harley Knucklehead. Therefore as a pre 1950 there is no Road Tax or MOT needed.
-Engine: NOTE Custom replica Knucklehead, S&S bottom end, VTwin top end with bored and honed cylinders, Wiseco pistons, approximately 93 cubic inch displacement. with alternator left case Rocker boxes custom engraved to match paint and design theme
I have a few friends coming to pull it out of my lounge 1st picture :-) so it will be up and running by the weekend so no viewings until then, which will give me time to VET any prospective buyers and time wasters .. the price is negotiable but go find another then make me an offer stupid offers will not be responded to Good fortune on the road
note the motor is either an 87inch or a 93inch documentation lost over the years but I can tell you it lifts its skirts up and goes like fk
I even parked it at a chopper show carpark as I did not build it .. it won :-) best engineering so sent the notification to George :-) ANYONE WANTING ANY MORE INFORMATION OR VIDEOS I HAVE SOME ONLINE AND CAN SEND YOUR THE LINKSWARPIG

History
The War Pigs frame is a Spartan straight leg frame with a slight radius in the front down tubes, custom axle plates and some custom stuff going on in the seat area. The Spartan Riveted Girder is 1" over.
The cross over pipes, controls, and handle bars are all Spartan. The polishing and nickel plate is by Don Jose in Tucson. The seat frame, top motor mount, headlight bracket and control linkage are all stainless steel fabed by Spartan. Oil is handled by a 6" oval copper Spartan oil tank, the copper oil lines bent by Mike Juran at Spartan. Knuck is breathing through an S&S E and fired with a morris mag.
The body work and paint is taken care of by Hi Speed Rods and Customs in Tucson. Anthony Ribeau made the Triumph tank and Chica fender smooth. Johnny Vegas shot the black with a hint of fishnet that can only be seen in right light. Johnny also did the striping to finish it off. The frame, girder, and struts are shot with a clear-no body work.
Details: Knucklehead motor, 4 speed slop top, kick only, Morris Magneto. S&S Super E carb, Flyrite front and rear disk brakes, 60 spoke powder coated wheels, new Sparkeymikes battery less lights handlebars with integral master cylinder and lots of little details that work off of the terrific paint plated as 47 EL Harley Davidson
