NHRA Wrench Selects Rucker
Tom Leskovan Selects Rucker Performance
Tom Leskovan builds motors and services a 323 mph Funny Car between racing rounds for Checker Schuck’s Kragen NHRA blue team. Leskovan met Bill Rucker, President of Rucker Performance, during a southern swing in the NHRA tour. He liked Rucker’s operation so much that he decided that his company should build him a custom bike.A Classic Chopper Motorcycle Design
Leskovan and Rucker started out with a clean sheet of paper and worked out a classic chopper design that was built with Leskovan’s concept and Rucker’s vision.
“What I liked about building this bike is that I was involved in the process,” said Tom Leskovan. “Bill took my ideas and suggestions and created an outstanding custom chopper.”
Creating YOUR Custom Motorcycle
Motorcycle personalization is an element of Rucker Performance. Each custom bike is designed with the personal preference of each owner. The owner either selects from an immense list of quality components that are custom built by Rucker Performance or from world-class suppliers.
The Chopper is in the Details
Leskovan’s Chopper includes a stretched tank, raked 38 degree frame, right-side transmission to balance the bike, and a 240 rear tire with a set of Roger Bourget’s wheels. R.B. Brakes handles stopping and all cables are enclosed to make sure that the bike has a clean and smooth look. The engine is a bullet-proof S&S 117 cubic inch missile.
