more than likely in a junkyard.  you never see any of those customs like you did in the early 00's. I can only assume they were wrecked and are now in a junkyard rusting to pieces. |

quite the bar hopper!!....10-20 years ago Strokers -Rick Fairless's place here in Dallas-- was packed with customs but not one like that...the traffic now makes it way too risky to go and the crowds are dwindling--it was pretty hard core Harley type's....up North of Dallas bikes still are fairly plentiful-- a good blend of cruiser/sport bikes and some decent roads and cage drivers--just a very fast ride up George Bush Freeway to keep from getting run over..

Did a little research to confirm that this bike is the Cobra bike “Sixshooter” built by Denny Berg, their in house custom guy. Also discovered that it was built from a wrecked bike.

It's an optical illusion but it looks too long.

Drag bars make it seem that way. |

Drag bars make it seem that way. I had the same impression but I believe the frame is intact. The front has been raked. The custom tank is longer than OEM pushing the saddle back. |

While I seriously doubt I would ride it with that exhaust, it is an impressive build. Just can't handle loud exhaust. I don't want to lose what hearing I have left. Rams |

Got an email from Cobra today. Won’t find the bike in a barn or a wrecking yard. Cobra still has it in their collection along with a bunch of other customs. They just completed two 750 v twins in 305 scrambler version and another one in a flat track style, both designed and built by Berg.
