“The Heap”
Photos & Letter by Kelan Markovich  kelan8718@charter.net

Hey Bro,

Glad ya like it. I used to ride and old FLH ,Softtail and most recently a Road king. All were great scoots. I took the King back in 01 and took the heap in 03.
I am a big boy about 300 lb's and the King had a hard time keeping up on the hills.

I am an old shipfitter, rigger painter and am now a crane operator. I am 45 years young. In the past I retrofitted a 1962 Triumph TR-4 Auto with a 302 ford and a nine inch it flew. I always have Ideas about wild shit done right. I had lotsa help for this two year build. Mostly my welder Ken Paschal from Brownsville ,Washington. He is old school and rides and old FLH shovel. My brothers Keith and Karl and a few buds helped along the way specifically Mike Dunn from Bremerton, WA. All these folks helped a lot as well as Westbay auto Parts. My machinist and good friend Nick Taylor from Taylor Drivelines in Port Orchard was also instrumental in this build. Many others helped with respect to hydraulic lines ( Belfair Hose) to the Battery box. All their Ideas and considerations were helpful.

More than one disagreement over a coupla beers but always the journey. I elected to modify this bike because the shaft rotates the same direction as a small block chevy. I paid fifty bucks for the bike. I had old Harley parts sitting around IE The seat. I used and old set of road king handle bars and modified them to the kawi bars.

I slugged the whole frame and bent the tubes at the local muffler shop. I manufactured custom aluminum shims for that aspect. I bought a used 283 out of a 64 chevy PU that was rebuilt. I can go on and on but that about sums it up. If ya have any thing specific then please do not hesitate to ask. I will forward some build pictures also.

When I did this I set the motor in the frame and built a temporary back bone. Oh well the build pictures will depict thanks again. Kelan

(The Heap) Oh yeh I got the name when I first brought the scoot home in a pile and the old lady said it was a Heap.

Later,
Kelan
