What was your intended objective when you started the build?

Keeping it simple with the best products on a budget build

What motivated you to start your project?

I wanted a dependable daily rider that was able to handle my daily commute into the city of detroit. The bike had to be fast, nimble and sleek for the city and at the same time be a cruise as wel when I do not commute to work

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

For me, simplicity and function is everything. “Cake decorating” parts have no use to me

What are you most proud of?

I was able to source most of the parts under budget

What do other people say about your motorcycle?

I’ve had a few people offer me a good amount to buy the bike. They love it for its form and function
