1998 Harley Davidson Softail Custom

What was your intended objective when you started the build?

Make it a one of a kind bad a$$ bike.

What motivated you to start your project?

The heads needed to be planed and we all know once you start something small it snowballs into a complete overhaul project.

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

The Harley bar and shield airbrushed into the tank and then cleared over.

What are you most proud of?

The fact that I had my hands in everything done on the bike honestly makes it a feeling you can’t explain hearing people compliment the outcome.

What do other people say about your motorcycle?

Nothing but compliments and good remarks.
