This is in my "Horse Backstreet Chopper" magazine. The do mostly choppers - but not all Harleys - a lot of british and japanese bikes too. The feature a lot of home-grown fabrication and how-to. This is not your normal BLING out of a CATALOG magazine.

This is just something they ran from February 2013, worth a scan and post here. The do mention Lakeland CDI which I thought was cool.

That is ART, it isn't a motorcycle. No front brake, no range, and no ground clearance. To each their own, but it seems that BLING takes precedence over substance these days. The engineering is pretty crap, too!! :roll:

I like choppers but h2's are sacred. They are everything choppers are built to be out of the box!
