1983 Harley Davidson/ special construction. custom

What was your intended objective when you started the build?

I wanted to build this for so long…. I got this frame 10 years ago with the intention of building a chopper/bobber. Life takes you places you didnt see coming… so it sat for a time.   But things came together 2 years ago with a motor and an idea of what it could be…. and the rest as they is history.

What motivated you to start your project?

It was time to build this bike….. I bought an 83 FXWG and i took that motor and sold the rest of that bike.   I had the idea of this bike in my head for awhile…. just didnt have the right things fall into place.

When they did…. I knew it was time to build her.

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

It was all a creative process…. the bike went through so many changes before it became what you see.   Im a better welder, Im better at wiring and better at trusting myself.

What are you most proud of?

The accomplishment of completing this bike after having the frame for so long. Doing things I hadn’t done before.

What do other people say about your motorcycle?

Most people say shes a thing of beauty!
