***** Dave Kirkland's Show Dragbike ***** ****** SHOW WINNER ******

From this unbelievably cool survivor find built in 1969 with family history.

To a pile of parts,

To finished restoration in less than four months! New paint, full polishing of every alloy piece, new chrome throughout and finishing touches that were never done at the time of the original build. He's made some small parts that you would never know were not originally done in the late '60's including a new seat that turned out exceptionally well. To do a full restorion of a period custom survivor and finish it while staying true to the original build and ending up with a bike that is better than when originally built is no easy task.





Completed about a week ago, just in time to put in the World of Wheels show in Kansas City. The bike did real well in the show. It beat out all of the fat tire Harley's, except the one for best bike. The drag bike did win Outstanding bike, Best Paint, Best Motor and 1st place drag bike.


CONGRADULATIONS DAVE. JOB WELL DONE !!!
