| This is a 2009 Bigdog Mastiff chopper. I made a one of a kind fuel tank with a Matt Hotch spiral chrome pop-up cap for this fuel injected custom chopper. I made a matching fender front and rear, then I smoothed it out with hidden fender spars and Lazer Star Bullet turn signals / running lights in the rear and a smooth light bar tucked under the headlight. . Next is chroming a ton of the parts the manufacturer polished like the wheels and controls. The best touch is the chrome plated swingarm. Then I painted it Diamond Pearl white and met. grey airbrush work with a custom matching doe skin seat. |
| I've cut off and smoothed the turn signal mounts from the Big Dog triple trees. |
| If you want to have a truly custom motorcycle, you have to make it one at a time for each machines inspiration. I made the fenders and fuel tank from scratch and have never made anything quite like them. |

| The Big Dog for the rear fender. Drawn for us by Sean at Davinci Tattoo. We'll airbrush this on the rear fender. Mohammed was very specific, a cigar and smoke, a military style beret, he looked at many pictures of bulldogs before choosing this style. He told me the artwork was perfect |
| I had to make a space in the fender to mount the alarm system. This and the new fender shape will require a completely new seat that i will make by hand allowing a 2.5" closer reach to the foot and hand controls. Perfect for the rider under 5'9". It also made room for the LED accent light remote control. |
| In these pics you can see the paint work go through more than 15 coats, From the spray on filler, to the hi build etching primer, to the white base coats, to the pearl coats o the clear coats. Now we will add the airbrushed artwork. |
