This was our offering for Discovery Channel's \"World Bike Build Off\", which first aired Sept 2004. Old School class throughout, with kick-start, hand shift, foot clutch, satin paint, flames, red rims, whitewalls etc. What is that tricky red button in the shift knob, I hear you ask?  It activates a line lock to hold the brakes on. Clean bars and hill-start capability! These days we typically use a centrifugal clutch to acheive that functionality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is by far our most popular model and we have built dozens over the years - knuckles, shovels, evos - not to mention countless HotRod Complete Bike Kits. John Mellencamp has one of these babies in his garage. Four fine examples are shown here.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThese days, all our bikes are built by Russell himself. Our Specials start at around $60k for a bike with a 121\" Total Performance engine and a JIMS 6-speed transmission. Most of our Specials can also be supplied as a 'ready-to-paint' Complete Bike Kit for around $40k. Of course, different component choices can affect the final price.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Exile Cycles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45889697251489,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0398\/6885\/8529\/files\/HotRodknuckle.jpg?v=1775333363","url":"https:\/\/exilecycles.com\/products\/hotrod","provider":"Exile Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
