Some more of Dave Brackett's amazing work

Not a chopper but I admire any kind of fabrication genius and Dave is sure that. He works on many projects for others (including mine) and he mentioned he was working on a "T" so I asked for pictures and ehre they are....Dave said "The T has a flathead with 3 two's, very old school. Had a stick tranny, I put in an automatic, changed brake pedal setup. mounted gas tank, built roll bar. seat frame, seat belts, redid steering, made driveshaft, rear motor mount, mount shifter, tranny oil cooler, and lots of little things to make it the way the owner wants it. "

The AEE Kit Bike is for sale

The replica of the AEE kit bike that Dave and I have worked on is for sale (as a roller, no engine). I do not have the funds to finish it. I listed it on Ebay today but would love to have an AEE fan obtain it. I'll offer it for $4,500 to anyone who is a member of this site as of today (I have a buy it now price of $5,000 on Ebay). The parts alone cost this much IF you could find them all. AEE parts include the frame (10 degree rake), ultra rare square glide, mini drum and axle, mini drum brake anchor kit, headlight bracket, mirror, risers, seats (recovered by Haifley Brothers), sissy bar, shift/brake pegs, kickstand. As original oil tank, battery box, handlebars, switch panel, modified Wassel tank, Cibie headlights, Avon 5x16 tire (new) , new front tire. Bike is wired and runs. I've attached some pictures including one of the original completed kit bike in yelolow. It was on the cover of Street Chopper more than once and in the AEE catalog many times. We did all the work, you mold, paint and chrome and you are done!
I can deliver in the Bay Area of Northern California, otherwise shipping is on you. Bike is located in Lincoln just north of Sacramento. No title, cash or PayPal only, again its a roller, no engine.  So take a look and you can contact me directly at:
