(PRWEB) May 18, 2005 -- Hank Young, President of Young Choppers & Hot Rods, Inc. builds custom motorcycle projects in any stage, from ground up customizations to specialized adaptations and fitments. For his latest motorcycle project Young picked a Roadmax transmission to debut on his latest creation.
"I'm using a Roadmax right side drive supplied by Bob Kay of Biker Pros for a project that Micheal Lichter is putting together at the Journey Museum, It will coincide with the 2005 Black Hills Motorcycle Rally in Sturgis," said Young. "This motorcycle has a similar look to the Bonneville Salt Flats racers of yesterday."
Micheal Lichter, a world renowned motorcycle photographer, is creating an exhibition that is called Speed Demon. Lichter has collected a group of race-inspired motorcycles for the showcase.
The Bonneville project features a 120CI Harmon Motor manufactured by John Harmon in the 1980's. This motor is a prototype based on a shovel-head design with dual carburetors. The style of the bike will be long and low with an aerodynamic design.
"We are excited to be a part of this project with Hank Young," stated Bob Kay, President, Biker Pros. "Hank (Young) is so enthusiastic about the Roadmax products that he is building two other custom motorcycles with Roadmax transmissions concurrently with his Bonneville project."
