Handmade details, vintage automotive touches, and a microphone jockey shifter give this build a personality all its own.

Meet SHEEPHEAD, the Marketplace Marauder! 🔥

Pineapple Customz paired a 1973 Shovelhead engine with a Softail frame, a wide 240 rear tire, and a 26-inch front wheel. Flipped Z-bars atop a springer front end inspired the “Sheephead” name—and with 75% of the parts sourced from Facebook Marketplace, “Marketplace Marauder” fits perfectly.

Finished in flat black with orange accents, this build brings creativity and old-school attitude to the Iron & Chrome Collective’s Museum on Wheels!

Nearly 12,000 miles. 16 days. No GPS. One unforgettable journey. 🏍️
Dalton…Rider #1346, completed the 2026 Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge aboard his 2024 Harley-Davidson Road Glide, following written directions and sleeping outdoors beside his bike. Remote roads, fatigue, and even a deer collision tested his determination, but he finished with stories to tell and a deeper sense of purpose.
