Paragon Customs’ ‘Hot Raspberry’ Chopper Is Vegas’ Tastiest Eye Candy

Wisconsin custom builder showcases badass bike at SEMA 2017.

Paragon Customs cruised into Vegas in style with this cool Harley-Davidson chopper created for its lucky owner, Ryan Fielding, who just also happens to be the talented mastermind behind the Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin-based company.

According to Paragon Customs, this stand-out 1975 Harley-Davidson Chopper started its rebirth with a basecoat of Cromax Hot Hues followed by a wild but tasteful coating of paint called “Hot Raspberry Candy over Cosmic Dust.” And if that’s not badass enough, the gold Jack Daniel’s accent on the gas tank and the matching gold chain on the gas cap are awesome accents that push this unique ride’s design aesthetic closer to the point of brilliant. And we’ll toast to that.

Judging by what we’ve seen so far at SEMA 2017 — including the random moment we spotted this cool custom bike — we expect that things are only going to get progressively more cool as more vehicles roll in and we make the rounds through the expansive showroom and events. Stay tuned to H-D Forums for more custom motorcycle madness from SEMA 2017.
