I've been working on my bike for almost 3 months. It seems like a long time but considering what I started with- a totaled 2010 FLHTC, I think I'm doing just fine.
When I look back at this I realize how far I have came, it is hard to believe. I've had a lot of help and I would be no where close to where I am without the help from Frank Kaelin with
Kaelins Custom Cycles keeping a watchful eye over me and helping me out every time I get in over my head which is often.
As my bike was taking shape, I walked into the shop and as I saw my bike inside the door. Noticing the
Klock Werks sheetmetal and dash, I knew this was heading towards true custom status. I loved the way the bike was taking shape and how soon, I would be riding not only a supper cool chopper but one even better then my old purple beast.
My bike even got a whole lot cooler when I installed my drop seat kit from
Bagger Werx . Included in this kit was the cool side covers that you see. They are really going to look good with the purple candy over heavy metal flake.
Of course the custom Corbin seat that came with the drop seat kit just really put the icing on the cake. I'm ready to spend many hours burning up the freeways in that that saddle! Now, time to it all back apart and send everything up to Ron Harris at
Chop Docs Chopper in Michigan where he is going to apply his own brand of candy paints,
Kandy King for that special purple that I am looking for. Stay tuned for more as I plan to have this finished this month but that includes building a complete power plant and drive train from scratch.
