When I was a kid, I remember a bumper sticker that said”Where the hell is Hanford?” That question will soon be a thing ofthe past, because the unique and hand-built choppers crafted by Dalton Walkerand the crew at Split Image Kustoms is putting Hanford on the map!
I had a chance to talk with him a while at the Screamin’Demon’s Shovelhead Run in Fresno, and I was impressed by his talent as afabricator, and eye for detail, but perhaps more important, that he’s also areally nice guy.
His bikes, (like the one on page 8 of the June issue ofEasyriders,) aren’t cookie cutter, bolt ’em together catalog bikes, but wellthought out, well engineered, and detailed to perfection one off custom worksof art!
I’m not gonna waste a bunch of words here describing thingslike the hand built frame and front end, the chain driven generator, the mostunique exhaust system on the planet, or the perfect flow of the bike; I’m gonnalet the pictures speak for themselves. Just be sure you look at each pictureseveral times, because the first few times you’re going to miss a lot!—Buckshot
