Tom says, "This is my third custom build, but the first frame up job. The two others were a roller, and a kit. I built this beast in two months start to finish.

It has a radical look, a 113 show polished engine with 120hp, and a 6 speed. The lower legs are stretched 8 inches, and the tubes an additional 4 inches.

The paint has 24k gold leaf inlaid, and hand painted pin striping. I has many one-off custom parts and turns heads everywhere it goes....

Owned by Cory Lottman of Peoria, IL. Designed by Tom Mason of Arvada, Colo. and Built by Tom Mason and 'Bogart' of Scooter Trash customs in Denver."

Well, done, Tom. Look for Tom, owner of White Knuckle Customs at Street Vibrations 2008.
