Comin’ Out
Who said it is hard “comin’ out?” Really, all you do is walk right out and announce your status or intentions. Pretty simple. We’ll, that’s what Guilty Customs is doing by showing you our “stuff”. However that “stuff” just happens to belong (now) to Ted Clark (of Indianapolis IN) as this was Guilty Customs most recent creation made especially for Ted.
The story started when Ted saw the original “Lucille” in one of the many magazines that featured her and contacted Guilty to build one for him…but of course we just couldn’t build an “exact” replica of “Lucille” so we took some liberties. Liberties such as custom one off billet wheels and seat designed by CJ along with custom made exhaust, fender supports, and Guilty’s own battery box. Rear fender was snagged from Pat at Lead Sled, cut down and then matted with those one off fender supports. And who can miss that kickin custom built springer front end! Which was made to Guilty’s spec’s by Paul at Bare Knuckle. (You may know these two guys as we are all part of the Limpnickie Lot).
Mating that front end up with an original goose neck Santee frame and we’re starting to get excited with all the possibilities too. One feature that we wanted to really highlight on this build was the tank and fender stance, so this build included a more ”backbone” ridin’ tank vs the original “Lucille” tank and a tire huggin’ rear fender. Again Steve O’Brian of Liquid Illusions of Sanford Fl came through for us and laid down the colors for this bike. Which unlike the first Lucille, has more white and copper-leaf involved overall. All this couldn’t have been possible either without the superb craftsmanship of Jimmy at the shop as we have another bike hitting the road and a pleased rider also.
