Nigel Loller enjoys building unique things such as his custom Harley motorcycle. The project started with a bent Harley-Davidson frame poorly built by a previous owner into a custom soft tail with a 300 mm wide rear tire. Nigel retained the Harley’s headstock, yokes, and fork but cut the frame in half under the fuel tank and on the downtubes. The back-half of the frame was custom fabricated by Nigel with a 125 mm wheelbase. The motorcycle is powered by a flat-twin engine and
four-speed manual transmission from a Citroën 2CV. The engine features twin Mikuni carburetors on a custom intake manifold. The transmission uses a welded differential and chain to turn the rear 230/65/17 wheel.
