| From here to magazine cover. The starting point, I polish the frame completely around the neck and Sub-frame. |
| I considered each piece as I built Wills show bike. What to plate, what to powder-coat, what to polish.. |
| We added the purple chain to set off the spinning package. |
| My favorite Signature part here. The Hotshoe Billet Levers |
| Will's R1 is brilliant. Here's a short list thats makes this a Hotshoe Custom. We have to start with the most fantastic artwork to grace a bike, Rob's brilliant airbrushing. On the electronics side we have a rear view camera & DVD player with display in the mirror, mega-watt HID Strobes. & Blue Xenon headlights light the night with an eerie glow.. I polished the frame and sub-frame from inner edges completely around the neck, followed with the Fork legs, Master Cylinders, Calipers and Rotors. The bolts fastening purple parts were coating a complimentary amethyst glitter clear, the parts touching chrome were powder-coated a metallic purple tint. Literally EVERY part. The seats are upholstered in elephant bullhide. Trim items include a Purple EK Chain, Chrome Reservoir Caps, Tank Cap, Billet knurled grips, Billet Chrome Frame Sliders, Graves Engine covers, Greggs Turn Signals and just for grins we got a NX Express nitrous oxide system with a polished bottle on tail section hanging from a bracket that I hand made. The magnesium and plastic engine covers were chrome plated along with all of the aluminum parts. I drilled off the exhaust tips for plating & chassis brackets, The Brake and Clutch Levers are solid billet aluminum Hotshoe Signature items, I made the chrome inner fairings to finish the body off right and reflect a lot of light from the hidden 104 purple LED bulbs that are operated by remote control and feature a multi-function strobe. I am proud of my work here. |
