1992 Harley Davidson FXR

What was your intended objective when you started the build?

I wanted to build something like the hotrodders/chopper builders did in the 60s/70s but in an entirely new way.

What motivated you to start your project?

I always wanted to build a custom motorcycle.

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

If I had to choose one, I altered the back half and built a detachable chromoly subframe. I also redid the suspension geometry so I can run 14.25 shocks at a lower ride height.

What are you most proud of?

The aluminum tank. I had no idea what I was doing when I started making it haha.

What do other people say about your motorcycle?

The usually notice the exhaust first.

Overly cluttered, no reason for the excessive welded joints in the pipes,bad oil hose location seat height is stupid,all fucking the look of what is a good job. Ya may hate my comments ,much more could of been done to clean this bike up.
