Final Drive

I believe he was the original owner of that and others

I saw that very same bike there too. I talked to the owner and he was more of a typical Airhead owner who bask in the glory of doing everything themselves on their bikes better than any dealer can do. He said he did the conversion all by himself from scratch and didn't want to reveil much detail as far as the individual components.

I think the man was an actual airhead guru but I'm told that he did pass away a year or so ago. I wish I could remember his name. He did perform most all his own custom work and fabricated his own parts and brackets. Like many true Airhead Guru's he was just slightly eccentric but very knowledgeable and approachable. I wonder where his collection went?

I think you are describing exactly what I was saying. Problem is that these guys perceive themselves as "gurus" and all others need to bow to them.
