2018 Custom

What was your intended objective when you started the build?

Include elements from the board track style with a modern twist.

What motivated you to start your project?

I like to build and wanted to do something that you don’t see every day.

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

Once I built the girder with curves I knew there couldn’t be a straight piece on the frame.

What are you most proud of?

The split tanks and how they match the frame lines.

What do other people say about your motorcycle?

Looks like and old Indian.

What is that?

Not Bad for the money….i like those 650cc thumper engines…..the look is incredible, but same as any hard tail / springer, it’s limited by road surface and range … quite the looker though, definitely unique..
