This video showcases a custom-built "Dragon Bike" created in 1967, which serves as the progenitor for 17 subsequent unique builds. The description highlights its construction from sheet metal and Bondo. The bike features a powerful 98 cubic inch Shovelhead motor with specific modifications including a 4.75-inch stroke, 3.625-inch big bore cylinders, an Andrews C grind cam with 0.525 lifts, ported and flowed heads, and a 44mm S&S carburetor, contributing to its robust sound and performance. The video emphasizes the bike's ability to perform impressive wheelies due to its rear-biased weight distribution, with the builder recalling a record wheelstand of one and a half blocks.
