Showroom look

What motivated you to start your project?

My brother had one that I use to steal when we were teenagers. He died and I wanted to bring back a memory or two.

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

A lot of little things that no one will ever see but will make it last another 40+ years longer!

What are you most proud of?

You kidding me? The finished product !!

What do other people say about your motorcycle?

Everybody loves it.
