Anything Extra?
I had mixed emotions when we started this project. It was to be the 04' PM poster bike, big chopper, 280 tire, bells and whistles, all that shit. Pretty much what the rest of the industry was building, but this bike had to be different. So the Chopper Guys frame had some cool detail work and a lot of extra crap we had to grind off. I worked with Russ Wernimott on the gas tank and rear fender design and the metal work came out killer. We dropped the gas tank down as far as possible to reduce the effective height of the backbone giving it a lower look. We also added the tail light and welded on the rear fender at PM and blended it into the frame, giving it that race look I tend to go with. The rest of the bike came together a piece at a time. I designed the new Dinero Wheels for it, threw on the first set of RSD Contour Mid Controls from PM. I made a steel top triple clamp and some clip on handlebars that mounted onto the lower clamp keeping the low slung race theme. I cut up the oil bag to match the gas tank. I designed up some pipes with a special heart shaped slash cut tip and Brett busted those out in a few days. Made the aircleaner from a gas tank half. We mounted all the wiring, air pump for the air ride, key switch and ignition in the gas tank tunnel and made a cool little panel to hide it all. Chris Wood and I went back and forth on the colors and we decided to keep it clean with Blue. The Flying Processor name came from the Dairy Barn my dad used to work out of in Long Beach in the early 70’s, it was painted on the entrance to the milk processing area.
Props go out to the PM R&D crew, Brett Marshal, Lyndelski, Ed Winowski for assistance on this project as well as Chris Wood at Airtrix, Tom at TP engineering, Repo at Baker Drivetrain.
