2017 Harley Street Glide Special

What was your intended objective when you started the build?

I hate slow bikes and chrome. I intended to remove both of those issues.

What motivated you to start your project?

Baggers are always done with raking the rear and adding a big wheel. I wanted something different, different feel,  but faster than anything next to me. Classy but tough. This bike is far from done but it’s good for now

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

Crash test duckies, or the two tone seat. Got 40ft of paracord down each side of the handlebars to cover them but also as another tool to use to fix things on the side of the road to make it home.

What are you most proud of?

The fact that I’m a broke ass tattoo artist and I still pulled this off.

What do other people say about your motorcycle?

People stop and come up and talk to me about it. The color combo and the engine layout is a crowd pleaser apparently.
