2006 SuckerPunch Sallys - Dragster
SuckerPunch Sally Tosses a Change-Up
By Justin Schilling, Photography by Jeff Cochran
A Russ Wernimont gas tank was fitted nice and low on the backbone to keep with the long, low profile Donny was looking for. The SuckerPunch parts bin was thoroughly raided as the bike started coming together, starting with a trademark H-Bomb oil bag. A SuckerPunch rear fender was shored up with a set of SuckerPunch speedhole struts to match the bike's billet wheels. Donny avoided the temptation to go with a seamless contoured seat and instead opted for a bobber-style sprung seat upholstered by Diamond Dave the Seat Cobbler.
SPS handlebars and risers were bolted to the triple-trees, and Performance Machine handled the hand and foot control duties. Lighting comes courtesy of a Ness headlight and a Fabricator Kevin "Double Shot" taillight/tag bracket.
Having already ventured that far toward the shinier side of things, Donny decided to push his comfort level one last time with a flashy metalflake flame paint job laid down by Brandon Armstrong of Armstrong Design.
With the last bolt tightened, Donny and Jeff stood back and admired the bike's long, lean silhouette, and it was Jeff who christened the new machine the first "SPS Dragster." A fitting name, considering that the bike now sits in the stable of NHRA PowerAde Top Fuel competitor and '06 Rookie of the Year JR Todd after the Skull Shine-sponsored driver saw the bike and decided he couldn't live without it.
