For Soreness Erickson, not only any chopper would do. Considering many others might truly feel the exact same, he determined to create a series of bikes that met his very own exacting specifications. One was this Candy Red Suicide Softail 650r fairings.
As the name implies, Suicide Softail functions a uniquely styled rear swingarm with adjustable air-spring mounted behind the . And what an engine it can be: 145 cubic inches of V-twin energy, with custom-bent exhaust pipes wrapped in heat-shielding tape. A 6-speed Baker with hand shifter feeds the ponies to a mixture sprocket/rear affixed to a reliable, chromed rear wheel.
Perhaps most distinctive, nevertheless, could be the bodywork, all performed by Erickson himself. The frame was a joint work in between Thee Darkside of Daytona and Killer Choppers. Springer forks run at a steep rake of 68 degrees (most choppers are at 38-55 degrees), making for a large turning radius. But then, it really is doubtful Erickson ever intended this special creation as an around-town grocery-getter.
