THE COPPERHEAD
“What is it? Holy crap, it’s a Street 500! You actually managed to make one look GOOD!”
How many times have we heard this phrase verbatim since we completed the build? Countless. This is Australia’s (and possibly the World’s) first rigid frame Street 500. Who needs paint when you can make a bare metal tank look this good? And when you accentuate it with custom copper-plated features? Magic. This little bobber turns heads and draws crowds every place she’s rumbles up to. True old-skool cool.
