【アーリーショベル】カスタム前に色々聞いてみました

The owner of this bike came to visit us today, so I would like to ask him a lot of questions about the custom order process, his ideals, etc.Thank you in advance.The engine and motor are from Early Shovel.Why was Early Shovel so good?

I think you’ll understand when you see the reason why I chose Early, but the number one reason is that I wanted to include this Kennedy’s head.The Kennedy’s head can only be attached to the Early shovel head or the Con shovel head.

I wanted to make the car as narrow as possible, so I chose the Early engine.Well, that’s why my number one wish was to add Kennedys.Why did I admire this Kennedy rocker? Tano? I saw it in a magazine…well, I had seen it in a magazine before that, but

There was an engine where the oil line was routed from the back, so it was from the left side? When I saw it, I thought it was cool , and regardless of its performance, I liked it

Just because of how cool it looked.Well, it’s not really mechanical, but it has a great vintage feel, right? It was quite difficult to find this, but it was interesting. Before coming to this shop, I went to several shops (other bike shops), but a few shops refused because they said it was impossible, and

The price was too high for me. There were a lot of bike shops that didn’t fit my budget…I finally met Masa-san and was able to build a bike for a price I was happy with.Well, I

‘m glad I found one, because without these parts, I couldn’t do anything. Because it won’t start – Well, the year of the bike is 1969, the last of the early excavators, but are you particular about that? It’s the last one.It was made in the last year of the four years.If I were

Going to make it, I thought I’d choose it and make it the one made in the last year.Well , this shape is the ideal rolling chassis. For the time being, I’ve temporarily set the fork to a length of 35φ

, but the atmosphere is like this, and I’m going to change the fork from now on.I’m going to use this kind of style, raise the front and make it the stock rake angle. The thing is, was there a reason? When ordering this bike, I had something like a theme in mind.I

Wanted to make a narrow bike with a Kennedys head and front of 41φ, 6 over or 8 over , and this is what I have now. It’s different, but… I guess that’s the main reason…The bike itself is taller, and you’re in good shape, so it looks even bigger.If you

Lengthen the front fork and make the wheels 21 inches, you’ll get the same look. However, it can be quite difficult to maneuver the bike , but if you are of this size, you should be fine with that as well. – Well,

Generally speaking, there is also a chopper style where a large person rides a relatively small bike. Yes, but I don’t think I need to worry about that. I don’t think it’s bad for a big guy to ride a big bike . Of course I think it’s fine, but you have the power and

The handling isn’t in the original dimension, so it’s harder to do it, but you also have the power and the body. Because I can cover it by using the bigness of Frisco, I also like Frisco, so

There are vintage parts that I want to bring to the shape of Frisco, and it gives off an atmosphere.I also want to combine Frisco with that.However, the step position Well, if you’re that tall, you won’t be able to do the mid position anymore.That’s why I think I’ll go with the forehand position.I

Think I’ll go with the front step position.It’s interesting. It looks like it’s going to be a vehicle.I’m going to keep the atmosphere as it is now and give form to my ideals.I

Would like to exhibit this bike at the JOINTS Custom Bike Show to be held on April 14th. It’s about 2 months left, but I’m aiming for that. I want to complete it properly and bring it to you. Before riding this early excavator, had you ever ridden several?

I rode the Knuckle Head and the Dyna FX-DX.I think the Early Shovel Head has its own unique characteristics.For me, it is quite difficult to use a genuine Kennedy’s rocker from that time instead of a replica. I didn’t think about getting a replica at first,

But since it’s probably the only bike I’ll have in my life, and I don’t think I’ll be able to request full customization over and over again, I thought it would be better to get the real thing. In fact, when you use replicas, it gives off a machine-machined feel and a mecha-like feel,

Which is what you are particular about, and I think you also understand vintage. Otherwise, I don’t think there would be any requests for Kennedys lockers. Well, this looks like it’ll be interesting . Do you have any other preferences or requests? That’s right… in Frisco, they use Kennedy’s and it looks quite manic, but

My image is of a “B-class chopper running in the American countryside.” For example, in the streets of San Francisco, the EVO It’s different from a custom made with a motor or something, but this time it’s vintage and this Frisco, so it’s an

8-over Frisco, a style that you don’t see very often in Japan.Well, it’s not flashy, but it’s simple, and the owner… I want to make sure that I can make my point.I want

To keep the color of the bike black and subdued so that the engine, front, triple tree, etc. can be brought out.Rather than make the bike stand out with paint or something like that. I wanted to make it stand out with parts. -I see.Well,

Even though it looks chic, the parts stand out. After all, the engine stands out, and I think black gives off a nice atmosphere… -Well, with all black, I think there are probably very few orders like that for REVOLT.Even though

You’re starting from scratch, it’s only black. It’s true that the order is rare, but that’s also up to you. After that, decide on the position, make the seat, make the rear area… Decide which side is the ideal position, handle position, etc.

JOINTS We’re going to build it for the custom bike show, so we’ll start working on it rapidly from here. Let’s make it into a nice bike. – So, today we’ll have the owner come over and we’ll start building it. We had a meeting regarding this matter.

Thank you for your time today. See you next time at the JOINTS Custom Bike Show! -Yes, thank you very much.
