Roger, Chris and Darren.
Everyone has their dream bike in mind but very few people have the vision, let alone the money to make it all happen. But once in a while, a customer comes along that gives builders the chance of a lifetime. My friend Chris was one of these customers. Returning from a Las Vegas bike festival, Chris envisioned a bike that would blow people away. Our Kustom Fab crew had a bike in mind but couldn't afford the build cost. Chris wanted his dream bike and we wanted to build it so we made it happen.
We started off with a Legends Low Life frame. Then we raked out the frame more to give it that long and low profile look. Next, we completed all the sheetmetal work that the bike required. This amount of work was unbelievable but with time and effort, the bike came together.
One of the trademarks of Kustom Fab Cycles is that your bike will come out super clean. Every wire will be hidden or tucked away as much as possible. Roger of K-Fab prides himself on this type of meticulous work.
The build for Chris' dream bike had to be completed before the 2nd Choppers Only Show. This meant that we had about 5 months to complete this unbelievable machine. Besides all the parts of the bike, the paint also had to have a clean and original scheme to go with the bike's sleek look.
Dennis from Cosmic paint provided just that look. It was a combination of Chrome paint and sheetmetal that made it perfect. The project overall went great. It was Kustom Fab's chance to show people outside of the Hawaiian Islands, that if given the opportunity and the finances, any bike build is possible for us to complete.
