  We all know you cant go fast without looking good too, right? So Steven reached for the tool all us minitruckers love the most...... his trusty SAWZALL, put in a fresh blade, and began to cut up his fresh new bike. Starting by shorting the rear frame, and lowering the bike 2 full inches by removing the rear suspension in favor for a hardtail conversion and adding his new hardtail struts. The sawzall also had a hand in cutting down the rear fender to a more respectable size and taking it down to solid bare metal. A model A ford taillight with "STOP" lettering was added aside a custom license plate mount that he fabricated up to the rear. Moving to the front, lil Stevey found a free mod(and everyone likes free), but by flipping the front handle bars gave them a nice custom look and the riding position he was looking for. Lowering the front fender to sit closer to the tire was next, and then the addition of the HD forward controls. Steven removes all the turn signals and mirrors from the bike and "Pretty much it it was there for my saftey, it is now in the trash".

Now with the bike running good and looking better than Harley made it, he had to get it out there and ride. Since the speedo only goes to 120 he had to call in a favor, and got a friend to radar him and was clocked at 134mph. Not bad for a 550lb bike with a few less hp than a mazda b-series. Finally after all this was said and done Steven was at a stopping point on his bike and could get back to his true passion, his trucks. He poured his heart and soul into his purple 95 nissan hardbody that was totaled. So knowing his new froniter would be a slow build this Harley fulfilled the void for the build process. So the bike is done now, and the frontier is currently torn apart being layed out, its time for him to sink all his time and money :) into the truck so it can be filling the pages of the magazine soon enough.
