Remember that spot fondly up in the Yukon on the way to Alaska, beautiful country up there..
No. The motorcycle in the picture is a hand built shovel head with House of Horsepower cases, Customcrome high compression ported heads. Can’t remember the cam. It was stroked with an S&S carb. 5 speed rubber mounted tranny with a kick start conversion although the compression was almost to high for a kicker. Custom made two into one header. All this sitting in a custom built Santee frame. I sold it and used the money as a down payment on our first house.I wondered if your new avatar had that knucklehead engine in a frame with a hydro-glide front end.
