Stevenson's Cycle

Out of Focus is brought to you by GarageBuild. Submit your build, share your passion, powered by Dennis Kirk. Steve Broiles from Westland, Michigan. 2006, Stevenson Cycle, custom built. It was built for the chop-off build for the Smokeout 8, the last one in Salisbury. It was actually the chop-off winner that year. It's a reversed flow engine, front cylinder and rear cylinder are completely switched around. There's a whole lot of work that goes into that. It's not just squapping around. There's welding, there's grinding, there's cutting. It has a carburetor off a 71 Dodge pickup truck, a Holley. Five-speed transmission case, six-speed gear set with a four-speed kicker in it. Foot clutch, hand shift, a porthole oil tank in it, four controls. The internal throttle that we made, the handlebars. There's a lot of one-off custom parts on this. It was mainly me, but my dad had helped out with the motor part. Cases are SNS, but everything else has been modified up. That frame actually started out as a Paco frame, then modified. Color was painted by Darren from Liquid Illusions. It had to have Smokeout 8 on it somewhere on the bike. This one was set up. Darren painted it backwards. You can read it looking down at the rocker box. When it showed up at the chop-off, a lot of people didn't believe it ran. So that was a lot of starting up and firing up and running it. The bike is actually called Deuce's Wild, named after me because I am the second. They call me Deuce. All the lines are hand-bent copper. The brake lines are all hand-bent, made into a brass little reservoir up there. Evil Engineering Belt Drive on the other side. Rear brake runs through and uses the brace for the main shaft as a junction block to go to the rear caliper. Actually drilled into it, tapped, and then back out. Gas tank is actually a British tank that was modified to fit onto here. Rocker boxes are split rocker boxes with oiling systems on the outside. Boxes are made by Stevenson Cycle.
