The early texas Rangers were
rough-hewn mavericks who famously supplied their own mounts. Those
one-horsepower mustangs of the dusty Texas plains bear little resemblance to
this thundering LDT Customs Texas Ranger Pro-Street machine, which has been
crafted in a limited Silver Series of 100 as a tribute to the rugged lawmen.
Designed by LDT and built by Grandeur Cycle around a Total
Performance 121 cu in motor, this Texan is rangy indeed. The Rolling Thunder
frame features a 4-inch stretch and 38-degree rake. Grandeur also conscripted
its award-winning Super Auto Clutch into Ranger service. (Click image to enlarge)
The Ranger is gilded with Lone Star touches—such as shotgun
shell turn signals, an engraved primary cover, Texas Star chrome wheels with a
matching rear sprocket, and Winchester-style hand controls that would have
Rifleman Lucas McCain looking to trade in his horse. A Texas Ranger Hall of Fame
logo adorns the rear fender atop the Panhandle sized Avon 300 rear tire.
For the rugged individualist, customizable options include
choice of
color, tank mural options, as well as a range of materials for the
hand-tooled drop seat by Master Saddler Phil Harris. And, as a
finishing touch,
a 1946-47 Five Peso silver Ranger Badge engraved with
the bike’s edition number
and VIN is set into the saddle.
 Texas Ranger bike number 001 will be sold at auction and
royalties from all bikes sold will benefit the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and
Museum in Waco, Texas.
