Wow! Great work, you clearly have shop skills, I wish I could do that much customizing on my own. I'm sure your kid goes to bed dreaming of when he gets to take it out on his own!

Thanks guys! yeah its been a long time coming. I've always dreamed of making my own and its cool to be able to make a dream happen. Thanks to the support of my wife and all the help I got from the QCB's

It is defiently an addiction...I'm already thinking of how I can get some funds together to buy another stocker and start all over agian

All of those are pretty sick! I like the very first one best.

But DUDE! you shoulda called me - I woulda traded you my bike for any one of those chops and then you still coulda went completely different with my bike. Its like you painted over a Rembrandt! Still very cool.

That is a amazing change over time. How many years worth of transformations from the first to the most recent?
