2007 Harley Davidson Road King

What was your intended objective when you started the build?

to have something people would come up and have a conversation about.  Its the best way to start a friendship when someone comes to you and share their story and you come away with things in common.

What motivated you to start your project?

I really enjoy building and transforming bikes into the style I consider Chicano Style.  I enjoy creating works of art and then riding them everywhere.  Even as a kid I always transformed my vehicles to something I felt was cool.  From Schwinns to Chevys and then to Harleys I like to change the look to reflect my version of cool.

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

I think putting front and rear air ride without buying parts from any company.  Everything was made from scratch with the help of friends including the air tanks and fittings that are used to air the front.

What are you most proud of?

that it was done on a real tight budget.

What do other people say about your motorcycle?

they like the lowrider look but that its look is clean, simple and classic
