Black Beauty
Originally designed to be anything but that! It was a shop show bike build that was supposed to be a down and dirty rusty scrambler design based off of a sportster 1200 power plant. As we built the tank and the swooping lines the bike changed direction completely and it wound up being shiny and beautiful. We hand made the tank, fender, left side 2 into 1 exh and right side kickstand, handlebars, oil tank and it even has a centrifugal clutch with no levers on the bars and an internal throttle. This bike is on display at the King Ink showroom inside the Foxwoods casino, Connecticut.
Copper Chopper
My first commissioned ground up custom build. Requested by a client in London England, we met at that Javits Convention Center in NY. Copper Chopper was a challenge. We needed to meet TUV standards for Europe. I designed a complete mock up of Copper Chopper and had my client fly in from London to ensure the bike met and exceeded his needs. We built it with the first of its kind right side drive frame. This balances out the center of gravity as it puts the drivetrain back in the center of the bike where it belongs. We hand built the gas tank, exhaust system, bars, fenders and much more. Once completed the bike was loaded and shipped to London. Another satisfied customer. He still keeps in contact with me till this day.
Full Rutt
Designed for an avid hunter. He wanted a hard-core chopper with our side-by-side bead sighted exhaust, meat grinder air cleaner, ammo can battery box, shotgun shell grips, FMJ copper headlight, arrowhead risers and custom tooled leather seat. Full Rutt is a term used when Deer are in full heat. It's also the name of a hunting scent used to lure them in while masking your own scent! A fun project and great bike to ride!
Spike Bike
My very first ground up build. Built in 2000, Spike Bike was built way ahead of it’s time. To this day the bike is requested for shows and photo shoots today. Not many bikes from 15 years ago are even still on the road never mind relevant today. While laying out the graphics on this bike I asked myself. Why do it in 2 dimensional paint? Why not show off our metal shaping skills and do all the graphics in 3-D instead. It also was the first bike to be built with the rear fender mounted to the swing arm instead of the frame. This gives it that close to the rear tire rigid look. It has since been copied many times. I still can't bring myself to sell the very first one. So we have it on display in our showroom. And I do ride it to shows still.
Goldmember
Built for a very discerning client who has since returned for numerous other bikes. Since we cater to the particular needs and wants of every client, we were a perfect fit. He wanted a very specific look with the holes through the down tubes and the over all stance of the bike. The paint had to be deep and mesmerizing, so we put down a Zenith Gold base and then put heavy gold flake into the clear and layered it. In the sun it looks like its liquid and 6" deep. The exhaust, bars, seat, oil tank, grips & front end were all custom made.
No Rest for the Wicked (NRFTW)
Built for a quarter mile drag racing client who wanted the bike to have all the design ques of a Chevy Racing Muscle Car. We fabricated a custom side pipe exhaust system, racing inspired seat, Hurst shifter for the suicide shift, old school spoke wheels, racing inspired holes throughout the entire motorcycle and the external mounted Chevy Big Block oil filter. The engine is race ready tuned and the paint was done in old school silver leaf.
