He acquired a frame and rolling stock shortly after he decided on the type of bike he wanted. A DNA Softail-style frame was chosen as the foundation for the bike with 36-degrees of rake and an inch-and-a-half added to the backbone. Combined with the reasonable rake angle of the steering neck, a two-inch under stock Paughco springer was bolted to the frame, together creating manageable handling at most speeds. An adjustable Hi-Lo air-ride suspension system cushions the rear of the bike. “The Hi-Lo system is perfect because I can ride the bike with the comfort of full suspension travel and when I park it I can let all the air out of the system so the bike practically sits on the frame. When I want to leave, I just start the bike first, then flip the switch for the on-board air-compressor and I have suspension travel again,” George said. A pair of Ride Wright Fat Daddy 50-spoke wheels were bolted to both ends of the bike with black powdercoated spokes, polished stainless-steel nipples with red powdercoated rims and hubs. Halting the bike is a DNA four-piston caliper and an Exile two–piston caliper that clamps down on the sprocket/rotor combination in the rear, both operated by a proportioning valve and the right foot control.

Powering the sled is a dependable 80” Harley-Davidson Evo. George fastened a Crane HI-4 ignition system inside the nose cone that provides a hotter than stock spark for quick starts and better gas mileage. A pair of drag pipes, covered in insulating black header wrap, pin striping and heat shields, were also attached to the motor. Behind the Evo is a RevTech 5-speed kicker transmission bolted to a Roadmax three-inch open belt drive. 
The frame is completely suspended but that’s where any likeness to a touring bike ends. No huge tank was mounted to the backbone, George fastened a three- and-a-half gallon Mustang tank to the frame that added to the bobber look and matched the swap meet horseshoe-shaped oil tank behind the seat post. The only fender covers a portion of the rear tire and it’s attached to the frame with four bolts that support a passenger with the help of hidden, built-in struts.

Protecting all the raw steel and decorating the bike was a group effort handled by some of the area’s leading artists. Lalo Alonso at Oldies Studio shot the bike’s basecoat with PPG black paint, Fonzy at Fonzy’s Air Shot airbrushed the pinup girls on either side the gas tank, and Bob Coslett finished it off by pin striping the frame, air cleaner cover, fender, oil bag, and primary. Bob did an extra bit of work on the primary belt and added Sick for Life in an old English font in red paint.

George wasn’t afraid to detail the bike with a host of accessories. Starting from the front of the bike, George added voluptuous 3-D chromed pin-up girls to either side of the front end with a bright red siren underneath the triple trees. The drive train sports a number of finer points like the lightning bolt-shaped spark plug wires that light up as current passes through them to the spark plug, and an open belt drive pulley cover cut to resemble a spider’s web on the left side of the bike. Red steel-braided oil and breather lines grace the right side of the bike along with a spade-shaped air cleaner cover. Moving to the rear of the bike, George attached a devil’s head just behind the passenger pad and on the left side of the swing arm he bolted a chrome-plated steel, teardrop-shaped toolbox.

“I named the bike Sick for Life because it, like many of the other customs I’ve built, are always complimented as being sick — another slang term for cool,” George said. He must be doing something right; he claims the bike’s passenger accommodations are rarely empty of female motorcycle enthusiasts.
