Q&A from the Builder

What inspired you to build your motorcycle?

I had owned the bike in stock form for a really long time and simultaneously owned hot rod Dynas and Sportsters. I wanted to build a bike that suited me and I pulled from all the things I liked from my other bikes. I really dig restomod style cars so with that in mind I went to work building a hot rod in rat rod clothes.

How much money do you have in the bike?

I shudder to think… I would estimate $15,000ish. But a lot of that is driven by the engine and transmission cost.

How many hours do you have into your build?

All total it took about 3-4 months to build, roughly 120 working hours or so.

Is there any custom fabrication? If so, what?

Since the frame and sheet metal are stock FXR the only fab work are small things like the shock reservoir mounts, converting the wheels to sealed bearings and small brackets and pieces for the electrical system.

Who painted your bike?

Danny Hendricks out of Sheridan, WY.
