Digger Monday...Noot's Ride
Noot has a really cool blog at rickynoot.blogspot.com. Noot's into diggers and happens to own this kick ass bike here. I asked Noot for the skinny and this what he sent me.
4 5/8 S&S vintage striker flywheels with all correct case and cylinder mods, S&S striker pistons for 3" bore, no stroker plates needed. Jerry Branch ported the heads in the early '70's. He says you should see these heads apart, they are polished like chrome on the exhaust side - XLR Factory HD tulip-type valves. Andrews R5 cams. BACC fender, steel peanut tank chopped and sectioned, 16" Borrani, turned legs, custom oil bag and gas tank mounts. If you're looking to build a beast...here's your recipe kids! Check out Noot's blog while you're at it. Good times, paint, machining, engine building, bikes, chicks...the Noot's got ya covered.

Show Rod Sunday.. Voodoo Spider
Built in 2003, Elden Titus's Voodoo Spider is timeless. It's based on an '83 XJS Jaguar. Most of the body was fabbed using the tried and true method of sheet metal over steel rod. NO fiberglass! All this was done in Elden's two car garage.
Elden passed away in 2008, at the age of 60. He is survived by his brother Jerry. Google the Legendary Titus Brothers to check out some of their work.

Whose is this?
Forgot where I stole this pic from. Obviously still in mock up, but would love to see this done. Killer lines. I would hope to see bent downtubes, not bevel cut and welded. Even with a gusset, I think it will see way too much stress.
