2011 Harley-Davidson TriGlide

What was your intended objective when you started the build?

Less chrome, more black.

What motivated you to start your project?

Like everyone else, I wanted to make it my own.
Most other TG’s had so much chrome for the sake of chrome.

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

Painted the front fender myself to match the factory paint

What are you most proud of?

First place trophy at the trike show at the Buffalo Chip this year.
It was our first time to the Sturgis Rally.

What do other people say about your motorcycle?

Some random guy came up to me at Las Vegas Bike Fest last year and said “I don’t even like trikes, but I like that one!”
