1995 Honda Shadow

What was your intended objective when you started the build?

When i started my shop, i knew there were guys who wanted to ride, and wanted to cool shit but didnt have thousands of dollars for a true custom bike. I wanted to prove i could build and sell a customer a one of a kind custom for under 10k.

What motivated you to start your project?

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

The whole thing!! People don’t believe its a Honda.

What are you most proud of?

I started my shop with zero money. Didn’t even have a bike lift. I worked out of a 9×14 storage shed for a year and this bike was built on a 70 quart cooler.

What do other people say about your motorcycle?
