Here's a link to a sneak peek about this new custom bike featuring a Fireball 535 engine.
Pretty cool!

50's engine, huh? Bike looks interesting, as does Hazen and his shop.  Going to his site, he has some cool builds. Definitely an artist.  I like the look of his shop quite a bit.

These magazine articles usually are pretty "fluffy" and often get technical details a bit muddled.
I'm used to that.
But Hazan is a pretty talented guy that seems like he's an up-and-coming bike designer/builder, and we were happy to get one of our engine builds into this project.

Chumma did the engine build, and worked pretty closely with Max Hazan. Max has seen Aniket's V-Twin, and is very keen to do a cool custom build with that too.

I got a look at some spy photos of the bike before the article, and the only way I could describe it was "if Erik Buell had been given a Royal Enfield motor and told to build a bike for Captain America to ride into the invasion of Berlin."

It's truly a unique thing, pull-shock, girder fork, steampunk-y design cues and all.

Man...what can I say. It's obvious nothing any one would want to ride on the street. The ergonomics are bizarre. How do you steer the thing?
Too far out for me, maybe he has a ET working in the shop.

I think it's mostly intended to be a show bike.

Waste of a good engine. Shame.
