Many thanks - Indian Larry is one of my favorite builders. His "Chain of Mystery" bike was his final build. -

Thank you very much! I shop on Ebay for anyone selling parts of an Imex Harley kit and I've gotten lucky a few times. -

Hi,All; This one started out as a Revell Torch custom chopper kit. Frame shortened, de-raked and modified into single sided rigid configuration, front "downtubes" fashioned from chain from an old toilet tank flapper (hence, the bike's name), scratchbuilt motor mounts and airbrushed with Testors Metalizer Burnt Iron. Front suspension, including handlebars is made from kit triple trees, lower legs and K&S aluminum tubing. Engine is stock bottom end with modified Imex Harley cylinder heads and intake with scratchbuilt pushrods and cylinder sleeves from K&S aluminum. Exhaust is fashioned from Oatey plumbing solder and K&S aluminum. Seat is kit unit that has been narrowed and covered in doeskin leather. Paint is Testors Purple Sunrise over black with Mr. Super Clear. I would be remiss if I didn't mention that my favorite Van Halen song is "Unchained." It was a lot of fun to build. Thanks for looking and comments always welcome.

Very cool! I have a stash of these particular chassis; back in the 80's, I built a bunch of pro street models with these. Thanks to you and your builds, I'm going to try and build something with them!
