1975 HD Custom

What was your intended objective when you started the build?

To build the baddest looking shovel I could.

What motivated you to start your project?

It was a tribute to my Dad, as it was the bike he left me after his fatal crash.

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

I used a Jammer frame with 2″ stretch in the back bone and the down tubes. Also had all of the welds smoothed and filled.

What are you most proud of?

The fact that this was my Dad’s bike and anyone who sees it wants to know about it. And the fact that I’ve won a lot of trophies with this bike in numerous local shows.

What do other people say about your motorcycle?

It’s one of the prettiest shovels around my area
