Hey Guys,
Shannon here from Howard's Killer Customs out here on the East Coast. We recently created a new hubless chopper in house and have now just got the information up online for people to checkout. So I'm personally making the rounds to all the online spots to post the information and get some feedback.
So far, the response to the bike has been great. We debuted it at the Spring Bike Week and since then it has done very well on the show circuit, even getting props from Billy Lane- one of the original hubless builders.
You can check the bike out at a site we just put up for the bike at http://www.howardshubless.com
Cheers,
Shannon

These kinds of bikes have a friction roller that drives them right? How does that work in the rain, or other wet road conditions? And, does the rear tire wear faster?

Looks good. I'd like to see the other side, though.

I saw one of Lane's at Sturgis a few years ago. I think he called it was named Psycho Billy's Cadillac.
The hubless design is very interesting, I'll admit that.

You know what would look even better, if they could do away with the chain drive and use a friction drive, then it would look like the tire wasn't even attached to the motorcycle. I almost sure that the next post will have the web address to the picture of this bike.

Kool setup. I would like to see the other side of the Howards bike not Lanes.
On a side not Maybe The drunk Billy lane should sell a few bikes to help the family that his drunk buttocks killed.
