What was your intended objective when you started the build?

Take a pile of garbage and make a smooth running machine that looks good for in town cruising.

What motivated you to start your project?

I found a cheap running bike with a clean title. I wanted to take one of the ugliest bikes of all times and make it into something everyone would like.

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

Stretched and hard tailed, battery box from scratch, rear fender from scratch, 50 cal. bottle openers on each side of the bike.

What are you most proud of?

Took many years and three different paint jobs to accomplish the look I was going for. Completely re painted and tuned for my brother as a gift for when he retuned from deployment in Afghanistan.

What do other people say about your motorcycle?

They ask: What is it?
Why would you make a 250 chopper?
That is an awesome bike!
