    The knucklehead sounded cool. Found a picture of it here…

    That price hurts though. I’d love to have it for my 88″ evo but damn…

    They’re poserific!!

    I hate that fake crap. If you want a pan or a knuckle get the real thing. Don’t be a poser.

    Look at the bright side, at least they purchased the rights to these instead of just knocking them off like they usually do!!

    These conversions were originally built by Exotic Products in Dallas, Texas. The owner was smart enough to get patents on all of the various componets. He offered a replacement cam side cover, dummy distributor and generator case. He also built a conversion for the Evo to make it look like an Indian Flathead but that never really sold very well. I think he only sold two of the flathead conversions. When Custom Chrome bought his produce line they also got the company name. After his no compete aggreement ran out he opened under the name Mystery Designs and now sells a leaning rear suspension trike conversion. And yes, he did get a patent on it too.

    “I hate that fake crap. If you want a pan or a knuckle get the real thing. Don’t be a poser.”

    Easy to say if you have gotten lucky and fell into a good pan or have the kind of money it takes to buy a real one.

    Don’t be ashamed of your Twinkie.

    I have known Lawayne from Xzotic for over thirty years now, hell, my wife went to high school with him. At our first meeting he was ridin’ a 750 Honda trike, pretty nice too, tastefully done. We were drinkin’ in a park an’ he tried to shove a Miller High Life bottle into an old stump an’ it broke slicing the shit out of his wrist. We hauled ass across town [good excuse to blow red lights an’ twist the wick] to the hospital emergency room where he got stiched up. From then on he has been known as “Three Stiches on Three Wheels”. He has always been a genuis when it comes to engineering, so much so you have to tie a string on his toe ’cause he is “out there” floating in his next idea. I gave him crap for the phoney baloney Pan ‘an Knuck stuff but helped him market them initially. He said he would give me some sugar for it… Yeah, Right! But anywho we’ve been associates fer a long time now. His independent suspension trike rear ends are the best in the buisness in handling an’ looks. Of course I’m a dealer for ’em. Wiz

    The look just isn’t pulled off in my book without those round cylinders. To get an originals is tough since they are ridiculously expensive. I have seen a few people replace their shucked out evo motors that failed from a bad lifter or rod bearing with a new S&S shovel, pan or knuck.

    Do they sell any kits to make my Evo look like an Evo???

  12. 12 Eric Maurer Nov 28th, 2010 at 8:34 pm

    How about my shovel look like an inline 4? Maybe my knuckle can look like a toaster? Come on….. evo’s rule, don’t hide em!

  13. 13 Woody Nov 29th, 2010 at 10:56 am

    Sheesh, they’re just covers. Maybe save the venom for “Live to Ride” derby covers πŸ˜‰

  14. 14 jatinder pal Nov 29th, 2010 at 12:04 pm

    Nice parts….mix it up with the reliable engines of today and voila….u got an old cool motor.

  15. 15 LENNY SINNET ASTC PERFORMANCE Nov 29th, 2010 at 3:07 pm

    Great look of the classic pan covers with reliability of the evolution motor. Clearly Custom Chrome has a classic hit in the product.

  16. 16 JSDiamond Nov 29th, 2010 at 3:13 pm

    Those will look great with that fake kicker pedal (yes, some company really does make them).

    I just pretend to be a poser

  18. 18 TPEvans Nov 29th, 2010 at 7:08 pm

    Wonder what kind of money “posers” spend. Real or “poser” money? If it’s real, i say let them buy it. Of course, if you want to help eliminate the scourge of the “poser”, you can just refuse to take their money. Easy.

  19. 19 R.Alan Nov 29th, 2010 at 8:49 pm

    ROFLOL…frickin hiliarious…Knuckle to toaster conversion kit…

  20. 20 nicker Nov 30th, 2010 at 9:52 pm

    What’s the point…?

    Makes about as much sense as a kit to make a Camaro look like a Dusenberg.
    Every one knows it just a Camaro.
    Cool factor = 0

    More to the point, Electric starters aren’t very impressive, anyone can do that.
    Show us you can keep your Linkert, valves & points adjusted and light your scooter off with one smooth kick.

    That’s cool and impressive…….. πŸ™‚
