The handlebars are an original set of panhead bars and give it that digger, low handlebar look. Then came the gas tank, a sportster tank that was heavily modified with reversed panels on each side and a custom clean flush mounting system. The first thing people see on a bike is the paint, so it has to be good and this bike is no exception. All the paint and molding took place at Toxic Venom and really set the bike off. The Pagan Gold metalflake combined with subtle pinstriping on unusual places from the spring stabilizer to the tranny plate, shows there was a true vision and this wasn't some slap together job. It was thought out and a subtle tribute to Indian Larry. Pete and Larry had met in Sturgis and developed a business relationship, as well as an understanding that they both knew what they were about. It wasn't about the money, fame or success, rather it was about the bikes and making a bike look trick with the tiniest details. That's why Larry liked the idea of having his question mark insignia available on deep cut rotors made by Pete. It was about the small details and also the reason why Pete used them on this bike-to pay homage to a true, no BS bike builder.
