This Radical Little Sportster Belongs To Scott Mccool From Down In Houston, Texas.
Scott is a business owner who happens to be in one of the top two fields for impressing the ladies. You see, he owns one of the more popular floral shops in the city, In Bloom Inc. Think about it, outside of owning a jewelry store, what could be better for grabbing attention of the female kind than owning a floristry business? Girls love flowers! And I bet there are very few of us guys that have not purchased flowers for a lovely lady either trying to show how caring we are (usually during the early part of the courting process) or trying to get out of the big hole we got ourselves into recently (pretty much the rest of the relationship). So suffice it to say that Scott has a big "in" with the ladies.
Seems Scott also had this '03 Sportster, and while it was fun to ride it just had no personality! After all, it was stock. Now Scott considered several ways of making his Sporty more appealing. He considered the standard route: bolt a bunch of shiny crap to it, but it's still stock and now more of a pain to clean. He also considered going for the full-on custom ride but there can be insurance issues, excessive costs, and so forth. Then fate stepped in late one night while Scott was cruisin' the Information Superhighway as he came across the Lucky Devil Metal Works website.
There on his computer screen, through glazed-over eyes, Scott saw bikes of all different shapes and sizes with sheetmetal twisted in every direction. After pacing the floor for the remainder of the night, Scott made contact with the Devil, aka Kent Weeks, owner of Lucky Devil Metal Works. Once they began talking, Kent mentioned a front loop install might be what Scott was looking for. This allows the bike to achieve the rake and stretch needed for a custom look while retaining the factory numbers - a big plus! And pretty much any front-end length from 8 to 18 inches over is available (within safe handling limits of course). Kent's bikes are known for smooth handling and balance even if you do need binoculars to see the front tire.
Once ideas were discussed and the plans were laid out, the pieces began falling into place. A 10-inch-over flamed springer from Sam's Springer was chosen to start the project. As your eyes move across this stripped-down little hot rod you can't help but notice the evil-looking front air dam which not only houses the coils for Spike, but strangely seems to be the same width as the 18-inch Avon coming up on the rear - possibly the Devil's version of a locomotive cattle guard, with attitude.
