1990 Harley-Davidson Custom Softail

Build Cost: $49,242.50

This 1990 Harley-Davidson softail was hand-fabricated and custom-built for Carlos Vitelli, horse enthusiast and motorcycle lover, by Darren Kaisersatt from Kaiserbuilt Motorcycles of Laguna Beach, CA. It is powered by a 93ci S&S Shovelhead crate engine with a hand-built set of straight pipes and a BDL open-belt primary to get the power to the ground. The frame is supported by a Paughco front end that was fabricated for this specific bike. Hidden in the rear, it has a switch for fully adjustable Legend airbag suspension. Stopping power is provided by custom master cylinders, foot and hand controls, and braided matching lines down to high-end Lyndall black rotors and Performance Machine brake calipers. The front and rear fenders were custom-fabricated to fit a set of locally built wheels and old-school to keep the classic look. The Moto-style handlebars have custom micro buttons wired in to keep it clean, with all new wiring throughout the bike and tucked into a fully customizable Moto-gadget Bluetooth-style brain. Italian cowhide leather was used for accents around the bike, along with an exact-formed seat, a hand-stitched cover to match and bright LED custom lighting all around. A few more details include custom leather inset half-moon floorboards and a handmade horseshoe kickstarter (along with an electric start).
