½ Pint By Guilty Customs

Published by Cyril Huze October 2nd, 2008 in Builders, Customs and Editorial.

Here the plan. Bring a Buell Thunderbolt (or it will be provided). Guilty Customs will use most of the components of the donor bike, install them on a Twisted Choppers frame, fab in-house all other components, convert the new bike to a chain drive, and as a result you get a very reasonably priced and aggressive custom benefiting from the reliability of HD components. It will only cost you $8000 (raw metal), or $10,000 (pinstriped). Guilty Customs

    I love the Buell for custom projects, they’re light, easy to manipulate into a variety of styles, and they make good power on the cheap. A solid choice for these financially difficult times to put asses on seats.

    Are you kidding me? $2000 for pinstriping? Even if that is a base coat, plus striping, that’s a little high!

    Matt. For a good paint job, you need first to grind and smooth some welds, sand blast all the parts to be painted, mold, prime, block sand, then paint, then do artwork, then clear, then wet sand, then clear again, then polish, It’s a long job. $2000 is not expensive. Far from it.

    cyril let me clarify the “painting” issue. The 8k includes clear powdercoating with stripping included. The “paint” is full blown paint job. And as you know prep is everything. My mistake for not clarifying sooner.

    I really like the idea of using all parts of one bike to make another totally custom bike! And the price aint bad either!
