needed a frame to carry it, and in this case turned to
Kraftech for one of its Softail style frames, which was
then combined with a set of telescopic forks held in
place by Rebuffini triple trees, modified to work with
the 42mm fork legs, and carrying a set of Biltwell
12in apehanger bars on stainless steel slim line
risers.
In order to get the bike rolling, a set of 80-spoke
wheels were sourced and then fitted with Avon
Venom tires; a 21in front and a 16in at the rear. On
the front wheel a Harrison Billet four-piston caliper
and matching disc are used, and the same company
also supplied the sprotor and caliper at the back. As
a finishing touch on the calipers, Second City’s name
has been engraved onto both of them.
Completing the build are the gas tank that was
narrowed to suit the build, and had its sides dished,
the oil tank that also carries the battery and the
custom trimmed rear fender carried on stainless steel
struts. While the bike is shown with a hand-tooled
leather tool roll behind the seat, this can be swapped
out and replaced with a pillion seat when needed.
Finishing off the rider contact points are the forward
controls from JayBrake, which match the pillion
pegs, and the hand-tooled leather seat mounted on
a Biltwell hinge kit.
At the World Championship S&S Cycle’s Steve
Iggens was not the only person to be impressed by

The Naughty Gentleman as the bike has now been
sold, paving the way for Second City to produce
more production versions, something that will be
easier with the motor the shop won at the
Championship.
