Here are a some pictures sent in by Mike at Twisted Metal Customs of a Vet's trike. Can anyone ID that powerplant? I think I see a 502 on the valve cover. The paint job is absolutely stunning.

yup, chevy big block 502. Really nice paint work on there, a lot of stencil and a lot of air brush.

Earthman,
You're absolutely right about the war of confused understandings. A lot of good took place there, but you don't usually see it publicized.
No need to worry about needing to be a giant to ride these... LOL! I assume this bad boy is based on a "Boss Hoss" Chevy-powered ride. Last year, I was riding my lowly scoot and ran into a middle-aged couple on a pair of Boss Hoss two-wheelers. The guy was pretty good sized, BUT his petite Wife was about five-feet tall, and a shapely 90 pounds... Her ride sported not only a 502 Chevy V8, but it had nitrous...
She looked just fine on board the monster-beast, and had no trouble riding it with a vengeance... Can you say "zero to sixty in one second?" I thought you could... LOL!
There's just something "interesting" about a bike powered by a 502 cid, 502 hp V8... I think the word is "EXPENSIVE". And "LOUD"! OOPS... Forgot "COOL".
5 hp or 500... It's all good!
Ride safe!
Leo in Texas
