Lock Baker is well known for his wildly original eye-catching motorcycles. This machine may be the least over the top in comparison to Lock's other creations, but it's still miles from boring. Lock has owned the bike for quite a while and it's been through several incarnations until it evolved into what you see here. Peruse the details and note the vast amount of cast items: tailight, foot controls, front hub, etc. These bits, each one a small work of art, really put E-Fab's motorcycles ahead of the pack.
"Steel Butterfly"
motor: 79 shovel cases, STD panheads, s and s flywheels, carillo rods, kb pistons. displacement is 84". cylinders and heads have re-shaped fins. ignition is a hunt mag, carb is a super B. static ballanced at 55%.
Frame: HD wishbone rigid
Trans: HD rotary top jockey shift, '78. primary is a indian larry chain.
Sheetmetal: 3 gallon HD tanks, e-fab fender and oil tank.

other efab parts: pipes, seat, bars, foor controls, taillight, grips, front hub,plumbing and linkages, shifter.
This bike has been through many incarnations. It was originally a 1978 superglide. Next it became the "rusty buzzard" (old efab bike), then a rat bike in japanese style, and now this. This is my personal bike. I know everything about it and have perfected it to the point where im not sure if it can be improved on without completely starting over again. I runs great, has the right amount of power for its application, and is comfortable for me. It is 100% predictable after owning it for so long. The paint was done by Robert Pradke, who did an outstanding job.
