2001 Harley Davidson Roadking FLHRI

What was your intended objective when you started the build?

My original vision was extremely close to my end result. However small changes were made along the way

What motivated you to start your project?

My motivation was to see a dream through. To see my vision come to live and to have somthing unique.

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

I hand made the brass air cleaner cover from a flat piece of brass. So its truly one of a kind.

What are you most proud of?

I am most proud of doing everything myself. At times with help from friends on mechanical work but everything cosmetic and paint i did myself. it has been many long hours and late nights of commitment.

What do other people say about your motorcycle?

My friends with bikes dont want to park next to it because its too clean compared to theirs. I am use to hearing a compliment from a stranger nearly every time i pull into a gas station.
