Finally at last!!! After 5 weeks of building my last two choppers for this years contest season, I bring you my final two bikes!!! This one turned out really nice. I actually had a different plan at the start, but my wife played a huge role in this build. I was going to use the tribal flames from another bike, but after seeing this bike with the HOK platinum pearl paint, I knew it had to be clean. My wife basically designed the tank and coaxed me into using a front fender, keeping the rear fender long, adding the polished pins on the seat, and....mounting the handmade taillight on the rear fender, and I'm glad she did!!! Some of the highlights are the dual rear brakes, hand made handlebars, new tank shape, bobbed front fender, and custom exhaust system, the solid disk rear wheel (made from that ugly 4 spoke blade wheel!!) , and of course my signature curled brake lines & headlight eyebrows.....Enjoy!!!

Smoooooooooooooooooooooothness Brother.  Man, you've got it down on these bike kits. It looks totally real. You should be offering those custom parts for sale. I think the right person could develop quite a cottage industry offering parts for these kits, and yours are top-notch. Your a true inspiration. |
