Special Number 6
Completed in 2005, Speed Shop Special #6 is an award winning motorcycle featured in publications around the world. Designed and crafted around a recycled 1978 Harley Davidson 1000cc Ironhead motor Special #6 has a mean stance and a early machine like appearance. Almost visceral in nature, the bare bones, nothing hidden design approach of Special #6 sets it apart from the herd of custom motorcycles seen these days. Simple utilitarian finishes and rugged components make for a motorcycle that not only looks sturdy, reliable, and fast, but is sturdy, reliable, and fast.
