Bike Builds

This was my first cruiser and the first bike I ever modified. I didn’t know much back then, but I knew I wanted something unique. Mods include mini apes, a skateboard seat, and a light bulb taillight.

Rusty was my first v-twin. It was also the first bike that I learned welding. Rusty went through numerous configurations and it was one of the fastest Shadows I've ever rode. I still have Rusty's motor.

Dusty was my second Honda Shadow. It was a super low mileage shadow that I bought on Craigslist for $1200. I think it's somewhere in Texas now.

Krusty was my third personal Honda Shadow. I built this bike for the LNSPLT Build Off in 2019.

This was my attempt at a Cafe Racer build. It was one of my favorite sound bikes. I made the seat and rear cowl myself. I enjoyed this bike a lot.

I wanted to build other v-twins aside from Honda Shadows so next on the list was this Vulcan 800 that I bought for a steal. The hardest part about this build was getting an inline springer to fit. To get it to work, I modified the frame under the neck and bent tubings to clear the springer. I think theres only a few Vulcan 800 out there with an inline springer like this. Good times.

I've always loved the SR500 from Yamaha. These bikes are great for hill climbs and just a great every day rider. My goal for this build was just a simple scrambler/brat style.

My first Sportster. I was looking for a 2003 and older but this one popped up on Craigslist for a deal I couldn't resist. Kept it simple with all the bolt on mods.

After selling the first Sportster, I knew I had to get a hard mount sporty. Found this bike in Pittsburg, CA and gave it a complete makeover. The hardtail was from TC bros, 19" rear wheel, +6 overs and paint code is Silver Blue 912 from a '64 Chevy Impala. After I finished this bike, I rode it to San Felipe, Mexico for the El Diablo Run in 2021. Good times!

My third sportster. Kept it simple with this build. All the parts on this build are Lowbrow Customs. Paint code for this is Dusk Pearl 821 from a 1957 Chevy Bel Air. I figured I can't afford a real Bel Air so might as well paint it that color. This build took me 3 months from start to finish. Shout out to Lowbrow Customs for making it easy for guys like us to build bikes.

My first Big Twin Evo build. I originally was gonna keep it as a dad style bike. But after breaking down on our annual camping trip, I took it all apart and made it into a chopper. Frame is a Santee. Fun fact, I sold this bike within 30 minutes of posting. The bike now lives in Texas.

I bought this bike in 2016 while I was living in Elk Grove, CA. This bike means a lot to me because it is one of my dream bikes. Out of all the bikes that I own, this one has been with me the longest. It's the one bike that I'll keep forever. Like Rusty, this bike went through many changes. I still keep in touch with Pete, the guy who sold me the bike.

This was how I got it in 2016

One of the first configurations.

This bike will never be done. Stay tuned for more updates!
