Brandon made a one-off set of handlebars and risers as Casey bolted up the PM hand and foot controls, along with a set of matching passenger pegs. Brandon then fabricated a custom seat pan and shipped it out to High End to get covered in gray stingray skin. The two wired up the bike as the seat was getting finished. After all their joint efforts, the bike came together just in time for a few break-in miles before the trip across the desert.
Shortly after the build, Brandon had to close the doors at So-Cal due to a crazy one-eyed landlord who pushed the rent so high that everyone moved out. Longtime friend and fellow shop owner Kyle Kirkmen called Brandon, asking if he wanted to merge their two shops and work with the crew at Lucky 7 Choppers in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. Brandon agreed and now runs the shop with all the freedom to do what he loves-build cool customs one at a time.
