Custom Retro Chopper handbuilt by professional builder

Completed in 2007. Hand-built over a two year period by professional builder from Northern California with 20+ years experience. The bike is well-balanced, nd great to ride, ut could also just be a display bike, f that's what you are interested in.
Every part and component is perfectly suited to the style of the bike. Attention to detail throughout with fantastic custom paint job and hand-fabrication. Lots of compliments and conversation around the bike whenever it's been out. The bike is well sorted, tarts easily and is nicely tuned. $32,000.00 in original build (yes -- I have almost every single receipt) and another $2,000.00 in additional parts and sorting time in this bike.
The color is a rich burgundy. There is a small paint chip (1/8 inch) on the left lower down tube, nd a gouge in the lower metal lip of the rear fender just above the chain path due to the chain scuffing it, ut it's hard to see unless you get up almost under the bike and are looking for it, s it is under the oil tank. I have a small bottle of the original paint for touch-ups. There is a tiny, air-thin scratch on the front rim, nd a very small nick (less than 1/10") on the front fork down tube.
If you can see the bike in person, highly recommend it. It is one of the most eye-catching and meticulously hand-crafted motorcycles I have ever seen. The paint job was featured in a book on custom painting techniques (I have a copy). I did not intend on buying this bike when I originally setup the appointment to see it, ut simply wanted to meet the builder, nd get a sense of the rider position of the bike, s I liked the look of its stance in the builder's FOR SALE photo. I bought it the day I saw it in his shop. The bike has been photographed for an upcoming calendar.
It could easily be a trailer queen show bike (that's what it basically is). Two kids and two businesses have left me with pretty much no time to ride. The bike should be enjoyed, nd after eight summers with 20 total rides, t makes sense to sell it. The bike has approximately 880 miles on it. I have the title in hand, nd have had no problem with registration or insurance, s it is titled as a manufacturer Rolling Thunder.
