Description:
Road Rage, 2008, Street Legal, New Zealand has a history of delivering innovation. This modern machine is a testament to this and to the fact that New Zealand has its fair share of committed motorcycle builders who are willing to expend blood, sweat and tears to create exceptional bikes. As it is with any significant build project, a broad set of talent and experience needs to be applied. However, it is fair to say that the lifelong experience of Ray Pratt and Dave Anderson was the driving force behind this project. Probably best known for their long-term interest and participation in drag racing and any other motorcycle sport that requires large volumes of horsepower and lots of safety gear, Dave and Ray now work alongside each other at Ray's business, Auckland Motor Power Sports.Built in 2008, the machine was flown to the US to compete at the Official World Championship of Custom Bike Building at Sturgis 1958-2008 - the largest motorcycle event in the world today with over 400,000 people in attendance. In this setting, being invited to enter is an achievement worth writing home about. However, up against massive build budgets this handmade beast attracted a very respectable fourth place. The innovative craft and sheer power of the machine are difficult to list but it is safe to say that every inch of this machine has been handcrafted to deliver a very versatile, wholly unique and capable machine.Twin downdraft Vfi fuel injection fabricated intake pleneum. World first all-new drive system for the S&S X-Wedge motor, billet 6061T6 machined primary drive housings and stacked shaft trans case featuring integrated swingarm and frame mounts. Compact drivetrain with 10 inch centers crank to gearbox mainshaft. Removable spine oil tank, full spec electrical system, by Mark Stegstra with self-cancelling turnsignals/ digital instruments with shift lite / warning lites / recall mode. Stainless steel panel work including tail section fuel cell finished in waptosy industrial coatings with no filler.
