Single sided swing arm but what about that front wheel?

Have seen that one with my own eyes.  A ton of work in it.

That is my bike and I call it the Red Beast  Evil

I bought it from a builder that had too many bikes and had no interest in this one, so I had no hand on the actual build only on the cosmetics as I got a lot of the parts powder coated and some others I added like the exhaust, other chrome add ons and some missing parts like turn signals.

Like you mentioned, it is an 1800 rear end with several one of parts that were custom made to make it work, handlebar and controls are Rune and there was some motor work done to it, don't know to what extent but for sure at least ported and polished. So needless to say the combination of less weight and more torque makes it FUN, FUN, FUN

As for the wheels, the guy I got it from said they were Harley wheels, the front has some custom hubs that fill the space between the forks and actual wheel.

You certainly have a show and go winner. I can’t say I’ve seen a more aesthetically pleasing custom, it’s at least on par with the Cobra bike built by Denny Berg.

That’s a stunning bike...how easy is it to change the rear tire?

The exhaust is sweet!  Glad you left some chrome as it really shines against the black powder coat.  Too much black wouldn’t show off all the custom work that went into the build.

Enjoy.

Super easy, center cap comes off and then 5 bolts and wheel is off.
I know what you mean on the balance of chrome and black, it's a fine line and sometimes less is more.
I did have a black exhaust and then switched to chrome, really happy with the outcome.

Beautiful looking bike.  I'd find room for a second bike in my small garage if it was something like that.
