Gangster Choppers - the "Blood Money" Bike














This bike started for a "Build Off" that fell away, "Build Off" contracts signed, "Build Off" sponsorships secured and no "Build Off". It didn't matter anyway because like a disease the ideas for this chopper ate away at the Head Gangster's brain, the bike build had to see completion! That's where the bikes name came from, after the TV cameras left the shop and it became apparent that the TV show was gone too, most of the sponsors backed out. Where would the funding come from? Blood money! Take it, steal it, borrow it, just get it!

Gangster Choppers the "Making My Bones" Bike.












Here’s the story for the “Making My Bones” Bike, we started out with a washed up 1994 Harley Davidson FXR – an ex- Maryland State Police Parade duty bike. We only saved the frame, motor, transmission, swing arm, lower motor mount, and an oi...l tank – everything else had to be fabricated from scratch. What is everything else?? Let see, the major custom parts on this build were the gas tank, seat, fender, exhaust pipe, tag mount with oil filter, tail light, push rods, wheel assemblies, top motor mount, and tons of machine work to pull in and round off some of the details but let’s not forget the Leaf Springer front end that we fabricated. This version of a FXR turned out to be one of our favorites to ride so far. The Head Gangsters said "the smooth rubber mount power makes for a great cruiser and so much style is a real crowd pleaser. Where ever it’s ridden or parked it gathers a crowd
