Roland Sands Cost: £100,000 Build time: 4 months Engine: HD 95Cl Chassis: Tubular steel Brakes: PM Wheels: PM Assault Power: 90bhp With Black Beauty Roland wanted to build a core chopper, but with the function and performance expected of his bikes. Although he kept the stock Harley geometry he added inverted forks, lightweight wheels and a new swingarm so the bike would steer really quickly. He decided on the singlesided swingarm design as it looks sportbike styled and thought it would be cool to give Black Beauty an old chopper look with the high bars yet still utilise that road race style back end, it turned out really nice.
