Tunia Studnicka, the owner of this awesome custom

from Big Tony’s Chopp Shop has been riding Harley-

Davidson� motorcycles for eight years. She met

Tony Starita, owner/operator of Big Tony’s Chopp Shop

through her husband, who’s been riding for more than 15

years. She quickly discovered that riding on the back of

a motorcycle, while fun, is no where near as much fun as

riding your own motorcycle. She decided that she wanted

her own custom motorcycle, and that decision resulted in

the lean, very green, two-wheeled machine seen here.

All fabrication and assembly was performed by Tony and

Ken at the Chopp Shop facility which is located about 50

miles south of Chicago, IL. Chrome plating was expertly

performed by Coating Specialties. NSD Paintwerks laid

on the Candy Apple Green that looks good enough to eat,

as well as the Pearl White and Silver-Leaf graphics.

For power, Tunia went with an Ultima 120” King Kong

motor; after all she’s got to be able to keep up with her

husband. A 45mm Mikuni carburetor and Vance & Hines

Big Radius exhaust system provide plenty of intake and

output so the motor can produce 130 horsepower at the

rear wheel. All those ponies will “Mis’Treatya” if you don’t

stay on top of things. A compression ratio of 10:1 means

high octane gasoline is a must.

An ’09 Ultima Trick Shift right side drive six-speed

transmission is of course foot shifted. Power from

that big Ultima V-Twin arrives at the transmission via

an Ultima Billet Aluminum Drag-Drive primary.

Tunia’s frame has four inches of backbone stretch plus two

inches of swingarm stretch. A Simplifi ed Air Suspension

system keeps things comfortable while being adjustable

on the fl y with Climax controls. The semi-hidden wiring

adds a nice touch to this chassis.

Ultima also provided the inverted (sliders on top) 58mm

hydraulic fork. Two inches of extension maintains this

bike’s level stance. Triple clamp rake is five degrees.

Special wheels have been installed on this very special

motorcycle. Up front is a 21 x 3.5” Diamond unit with an

Avon Viper 120 tire installed. Front axle braking comes from a

Hawg Halters caliper and rotor. The rear wheel is an 18 x 10”.

The rear tire is an Avon Viper of the 300mm variety. Braking

in the rear is accomplished with a hidden drive side braking

system that uses an HHI caliper. The comfortable leather

saddle is courtesy of D. Pomares.
