Is this bike a custom build: Partial, I kept the OG Vin to floss a loop hole with the new restrictions.
Modifications: 1200 bore kit, hard tail frame, chain conversion, all new wiring, tail light, bars, seat, brake, exhaust, coil, and battery mounts.
Will this bike be featured in any movie projects: Not yet, just finished it and tested it with a 1800 mile round trip to Mt. Hood and back, ran great and my craftsmanship stood the test, so I was stoked!! Next year, It'll be on the Steezy Tour.
Notes: I didn't know what I wanted entirely when I dove in to this project. It turns out it reflects me and what I’m into all too well, and that stokes me out. Home Depot Shovel fender for working, bolts for stickin your crap, old BMX style influence from RAD, seat with my family crest toiled in, ridged frame for roughin’ it, and rust for RAW and real and standing the test of time. I love this bike, it was my first motor 7 years ago and I’ll keep it forever.
