Some folks choose to wrench their own creation, and some find someone they trust to create their dream. Rusty Bozzi reached out to Marshall Greene in Deland to help create his ride. Not that Rusty didn’t put his own touch to it, he just went to Marshall’s shop for guidance. Rusty even created the leather work on his tank to match the seat a custom upholsterer Avery Phillips created. I guess a butcher at Publix for years should be pretty damn good at carving up leather! The bike was built from the frame up with a 93-inch Delkron motor. The transmission was an Andrews and most of the parts were hand crafted. The rear fender was from a front FLH turned backwards and cut down. The speedometer is G P S (no cable connected). The oil filter, battery and voltage regulator are all tucked in behind the trans leaving the open space behind the motor. The primary is a 3-inch open belt. Rusty is one of the few native Floridians I have met he grew up and still resides in Deland, so it was nice that the attendees at OB’s voted the local boy’s ride People’s Choice!
