Monster Machine

Greg Rice owns this impressive bike. It catches the eye of everybody around, even if you're not looking! This massive monster machine was built to do just that, impress. As you ask yourself, "What is it?!" you unbelievably discover that it's a 1991 Springer Softail.

Greg took his ride, turned it into a turbo charged, NOS speed demon. He took the best of everything like the Mikuni Carburetor, The Crane Cam & pushrods, Karata Primary, the Compufire Ignition. . . . . the list goes on.

Using all the big names for the best performance, Greg out all his concentration in building his extreme toy. Using his ingenuity, he started stripping this softail down to bear nothings and he pulled and pusheed and he stretched and he huffed nad he puffed and he blew a path right into a brand new look.

The frame is totally remodified. He wanted this Softail to have a tight tail! He put a full size 12" wide BF Goodrich car tire on the bike. The machine measures 9' in length and fills up the whole width of the driveway.

Sheet metal work is the Fat Boy front femder, modified. The gas tank is a 1982 FXR that cost $10.00 at a swap meet. It was extended and modified with a flust mount gas cap. The back fender is from a FXR, modified to stretch around the 12" wide tire. The paint is House of Colors, Candy Brandy Wine.

With a bike that looks like this, it better have some show off power behind it, thats where the turbo charged NOS injected Big inch motor comes in. His imagination was on a roll. This motor was built to do just that, put out the ponies!

Greg started working on bikes as a kid and then it turned into a big time hobby, so he and a buddy opened a shop in New Jersey. There they spent 4 good years but after visiting Florida, they decided to move to pinellas county in 1998.

In a short period of time Greg has made quite a name for himself. There is a waiting list to get in to see him (better make an appointment now!). He performs all types of mechanical and bodywork. From sheet metal alterations to paint work. Frame and suspension alterations to standard rebuilds, to high performance work, he can do it all. Greg can work in anybody's budget and make their bike look and run like a million bucks.

His shop is located right on Court Street, which is a main through fare for the beaches, easy access. A security fence surrounds his shop, needing personal clearance to enter ( not to mention he shares his yard with the Police Impounds). So you can feel safe leaving your "baby" over night if needed.

So if the unusual is what you want or even if you just want a plain good job at nice prices, done by a real pro, Greg's Custom Cycle Works is the place to go.
