Russel Mitchell and Exile Cycles would be mine. Plain Jane bikes with some cool innovations.

The Brown Pearl was an inspiration for my KZ Rat Turd.

I'd trade a kidney for all the parts to build a Fat Bloke.

Re:custom builders 3 Years, 2 Months ago  
purely the old school chop and bob. Give me a rat any day. I'm not a fan of any of the custom stuff.

I dont even like the fact that they call them choppers and bobbers. Some people forget that if they didn't start out as an existing, rode it home " or at least some one rode it at some time " bike and then chopped it or bobbed it. Then its not a chopper or bobber, it's a custom.

Re:custom builders 3 Years, 2 Months ago  
I'm with you MNfreak! If you don't take a running driveable bike (and keep it that way) and chop or bob it then it's neither. Most of the bikes being built are customs and I dont like them at all. Reality is they all have gotten to pretty much look alike. It ruined the business when they started selling crate motors/trans.

On top of all of that most of them just can not be used, they are trailer queens or straight show bikes. I want a bad ass looking bike that has been bug and rock blasted going down the highway!
