Ultimate Builder MOD Harley Class
It was touch and go for Chris Richardson of LA Speed Shop as he had finished his build in the early morning hours of the show. Since the clear coat was still wet, he rolled it in on Saturday morning; a significant disadvantage in the judged competition.
Richardson had an idea for a Bagger (LA Speed Shop style).He takes elements from his bobber style and combined it with a fairing and hard bag to deliver an exceptional low-slung and skinny Bagger. The bike features a 3 inch stretch in the rear, hand-made custom saddle bags, fairing, oil tank, gas tank, exhaust, narrowed rear fender and narrowed springer front end.
