Insect
Custom Graphics
I spoke with Danger Graphics in Denver when I decided to go
custom. I asked what they thought would be sweet on my tank.
They are huge "Aliens" movie fans and they decided
to paint something on my tank that would resemble the creature.
The result was this insect.
My son and I named my bike "The Swarm" after that,
hence the name "Swarmkeeper". |

Paintjob
The rest of the bike was painted in some strange insect design
with plates and hinges with steel blades and purple razors. |

 Rear
fender paint work
Rear fender graphics simulate torn metal, electronics and stainless
steel guards. The flush mounted brake lights blend in with the
garphics. |

Flush
Mounted L.E.D. Brake Lights
When I decided to replace my back fender with the Arlen Ness
taildragger, I had to make a brake light choice. I could have
gone with a side mount brake light (the easy way) or have the
flush mounted LED light that I have always wanted. One was obviously
much more expensive than the other. Well since I put so much
hard work into the bike already I decided to go all the way. |

Custom
Seat and Custom Shocks
Originally I modified my stock seat by having 3 inches of foam
removed. Later I decided to have a custom seat made by Bitchin
Stichin and it was worth it!
The rear seat is removable.
I also added progressive suspension shock absorbers. This resulted
in better cornering with a smooth ride. |

Custom
made Speedo and Bar Clamp with clock
I had this made by Cyclecraft Engineering in California. The
stock speedo was removed and this new speedo and mount with
the handlebar clamp was installed. It is much smalled than stock
and once again gives it a very custom look. The handlebar clamp
has a clock built into it. |
