For sale to serious buyers or collectors, a custom built, street legal, drag bike that was built for S&S’ 50th anniversary. This bike is the namesake of our shop and was inspired back in 2007. I had wanted to build the ultimate street fighter and plans were in the works in 2007 to design the frame with Skeeter Todd of Rolling Thunder and OCC. Its name came during the design phase as Skeeter said he would use heavier and thicker walled tubing since I was known to ride a “Lil Evil”. The frame is a “One-Off” Rolling Thunder Rigid with a 3.5” backbone stretch and another 2.5” tail section stretch to keep it proportionate. It has a hand built, High Compression 117” Evo that is Diamond Cut and makes big power utilizing Large Valves, Bored Single G carb with a Thunderjet. S&S Race Clutch and Billet Primary and an S&S Helical Cut 6 Speed Transmission with Pingel Electric Shifter. I incorporated a Buell XB12R Front end, Gauges, Fairing, wheels and brakes. Paint was done by Doug Wozney of Dougz Custom Paint & Fabrication in LaCrosse, WI. • One of the 50 Featured Bikes Built for the S&S 50th Anniversary Celebration in La Crosse WI in 2008. Each of the 50 Builders were given an S&S power plant to build around and showcase the history of S&S Cycle, Inc. Needless to say, I was honored to be included amongst the heavy hitters, Guys I consider to be my mentors and given to opportunity to show my talents. • This bike was shot in Sturgis immediately following the S&S 50th and I was asked to enter it in the AMD World Championship of Custom Bike Building that same year. Again, honored to be invited to show my work in the highest possible level and with some of the world’s greatest talent. • 2009, Sturgis: AHDRA Shootout: Number 1 Qualifier and fastest E.T. of the week in the Street Pro Class. We have campaigned it locally but with the shop, we have never had the time or money to take a run at an AHDRA National Championship with it based on time away. My best 1/4 mile pass on this bike is a 9.98 which allowed me to be one of the few to achieve the 9 Second, 10 Second and 11 Second Cub Membership with S&S Cycle, Inc. This was all done on a street tire with no wheelie bar and the bike is completely street legal and licensed. I have ridden it in Daytona, Sturgis and locally to include a 130 mile day on the Ronald McDonald Charity Ride. • Was featured in American Cycle Magazine December 2008 Asking $40,000.
