2001 Harley Davidson 883C

What was your intended objective when you started the build?

Love the 60s and 70s style choppers and wanted to create my own for a throwback of sorts.

Was tired of riding a stock bike and wanted to have something that isn’t seen around the town I live in

I would have to say the seat, never thought I could fabricate my own pan and do the foam work myself. I’m pretty stoked on how it came out.

I’m most proud of the bike as a whole overall. First time taping flames with minimal paint experience, and the seat, it’s just bad ass.

They love it, they tell me how they love the color, the seat, the overall look of it.
