Mercenary Man
Dan caught the customizing bug when he put together this sleek Big Bear Choppers Merc chopper kit. After making some modifications to the frame and fender, as well as fabricating the grips on his own, he made some additional changes to the tank and further adjustments that allowed the chopper to become a mean, sleek, riding machine. As his three young daughters had fun handing tools to their father during the build, this bike is truly a family endeavor.

Kickin' It
Bob feels that you haven't had a true Harley ride 'til you ride a shovelhead, and "Kickin' It," his '70 FLH Electra Glide, exemplifies that sentiment. As his first Harley and his first project, Kickin' It is both his pride and joy, as well as practice for his next custom build.
