This is a 2009 Bigdog Mastiff chopper. I made a one of a kind fuel tank with a Matt Hotch
spiral chrome pop-up cap for this fuel injected custom chopper. I made a matching fender
front and rear, then I smoothed it out with hidden fender spars and Lazer Star Bullet turn
signals / running lights in the rear and a smooth light bar tucked under the headlight. . Next
is chroming a ton of the parts the manufacturer polished like the wheels and controls. The
best touch is the chrome plated swingarm. Then I painted it Diamond Pearl white and met.
grey airbrush work with a custom matching doe skin seat.
I've cut off and
smoothed the
turn signal
mounts from the
Big Dog triple
trees.
If you want to have a truly custom motorcycle, you have to make it one at a time for
each machines inspiration. I made the fenders and fuel tank from scratch and have
never made anything quite like them.

Main St. Locust Grove, OK  
The Big Dog for the rear fender.
Drawn for us by Sean at Davinci
Tattoo. We'll airbrush this on the
rear fender.
Mohammed was very specific, a
cigar and smoke, a military style
beret, he looked at many
pictures of bulldogs before
choosing this style. He told me
the artwork was perfect
the alarm system. This and the new fender
shape will require a completely new seat that i I
had to make a space in the fender to mount
the alarm system. This and the new fender
shape will require a completely new seat that i
will make by hand allowing a 2.5" closer reach
to the foot and hand controls. Perfect for the
rider under 5'9". It also made room for the LED
accent light remote control.
In these pics you can see the paint work go through more than 15 coats, From the spray on filler, to the hi build etching primer, to the white
base coats, to the pearl coats o the clear coats. Now we will add the airbrushed artwork.
