What was your intended objective when you started the build?

To have a motorcycle like no other. I wanted a hardtail wideglide like an FL model

What motivated you to start your project?

I wanted a Harley chop and the only way was to buy a wreck and build my own

What was the most unique and creative thing you did to the bike?

No two pieces were together except the neck and the engine…The whole thing is unique. I guess cutting the bent frame and hardtailing it was the best.

What are you most proud of?

It has run since 2010 with nothing falling off,and no major break downs. It does what it was intended to do….make me smile

What do other people say about your motorcycle?

Always positive…they love the way it starts and sounds.
