Claim:   Curtis 'EZ' Smith is going to install a blown Vulcan 800 motor in his "Bobber".

Status:   False.

Origins:   This claim had some credibility based on the fact that EZ actually did create a very nice looking Bobber motorcycle (even if the hand shift didn't get installed in the final running version).

However, the fact that EZ has claimed that he'll finish his daughter's truck next has called the actual project into question since he's been claiming to be working on that truck for an extended period of time.

Further complicating research into this claim is the fact that while doctored photographs of said 'blown motor' can be seen at Tim Acree's Photo Site it is believed that these are photoshopped images and such a motor / blower combination does not really exist.

The last item that indicates this 'blown 800' is a myth is the fact that the real mechanic who would actually be able to put this motor and machine together (a highly esteemed mechanic named Scooter) has not given any indication that he is actually planning on working on such a Frankenstein combination of a mechanical device and common knowledge has it that EZ can't finish a project without Scooter's tutelage.
