"47 KNUCKLEHEAD WITH DUAL LINKERTS" ['CHOPPERSTUFF' BLOG] . . . . GUY DID A FILTHY ARTICLE ON LARS' '52 PAN IN THE LAST GKM AND IT WAS FUCKING DIVINE . . . . BEEN TRYIN TO HUNT DOWN SOME FOOTAGE OF SAID BEAST BUT WITH LITTLE RESULT . . . . BUT I DID LOCATE THIS GEM FROM THE SAME TALENTED BUILDER . . . . A DOUBLE DOSE OF LINKERT LOVE !!!!

I've said it before and I'll say it again . . . . what the fuck are they putting in Sweden's drinking water, an overload of overproof Aquavit ???? So many super cool chops, bobs, rods and bands have eminated from this Scandik nation over the last thirty years you just gotta ask the question . . . . and to this long and illustrious list of all things cool you can definitely add the name of Lars Lundberg and his hand fabbed Swedish sex sickles.

Like I said in the title, I so wanted to get lucky with some footage of his insanely wonderful '52 pan chop as seen in GKM but could only find a wee bit of vidage, [well worth havin a squiz on the same PooTube channel as this, just not enough of it] . . . . however, there is this wicked, slightly wobbly film of another one of his creations, a '47 knuck running twin Linkerts, springer front end and all the other essential 'must have' shit . . . . as Lars himself says, it gets a poofteenth blurry but still a great perve on a fucking sweet ride.

I especially dig the curously groovy juxtaposition of the classic desert scene on the tank set against the lush greenery of a Swedish, troll infested forest . . . . the global influence of the timeless era of the west coast chopper 'idyll' is all pervading . . . . the ghosts of Easy Rider inhabit the entire bloody planet, that's some serious legacy . . . . thanks to Guy for the cracker write up and Lars for the inspiration and the awesome skills . . . . let's ride !!!!
