While he was up in Sturgis, Bobby scored some of Choppers Inc.'s new bagger parts from Billy Lane. He picked up the gas cap, floorboards and grips. He decided to build on that theme on this bike and give it a hot-rod flair. He got to work on the saddlebag extensions and decided to cut the exhaust so it dumped out underneath the saddlebags and they were hidden, similar to a Lead Sled. After all the prep work was done on the sheetmetal and fiberglass, he started working on the paint and discovered that his weathered look would go really well with some old-school graphics that were conjured up from his tattoo background and old pinup art. He did all of these freehand, and as you can see, it really sets this bagger apart from others and goes extremely well with the weathered paint. When Bobby got it all put together, his friends didn't believe it was the same bike. It had been transformed into a nostalgic nod to the past with performance and style in mind. It's not for everyone, but this bike definitely reflects Bobby's passionate interest in art and all things cool and old.
