As the paint was drying, the Chop Shop started working on making a custom way to hide the rear wheel's hub. They made a duplicate face of the left side to match, with a rubber O-ring that would hold the new face cap and hide the lugs so you couldn't tell how the rim was mounted. Then, Todd made custom Z-bars, bolted them to the Accutronix risers, and added hand controls from Tolemar. Accutronix supplied foot controls and pegs, and a Headwinds headlight was chosen to light up the road. Topping off the bike was a custom-made seat from High End made of real ostrich skin.
When this bike was done, Jeff was glad to see that all the hard work, headaches, backaches, and bills were behind him. And, believe it or not, he is ready to start his next build, and this time he will only pay once.
