It is finished in silver with CMYK stripes and features a black leather Duane Ballard seat, a Cole Foster fuel tank, a 7MetalWest rear fender, a Renato Cardone oil tank, a rabbit-ear handlebar, and a Biltwell Mako taillight. Additional equipment includes an Ultima five-speed transmission, a Tech Cycle open primary chain and clutch, a Harley-Davidson FXST fork, Sportster 9-spoke alloy wheels, Flyrite front disc and rear sprotor brakes, a 42mm Mikuni carburetor, and a set of custom-made drag pipes. The bike appeared in the April 2015 issue of Hot Bike magazine, and the build was chronicled in a thread on Chopcult.com.

The bodywork is complemented by a black-finished 2009 Spartan Frameworks hardtail chassis with 30 degrees of stretch and no rake, and additional features include a black leather Duane Ballard Custom Leather seat with diamond stitching and ventilation grommets, a polished stainless-steel oil tank by Renato Cardone, an amber-lensed headlight, a Biltwell Mako cast alloy taillight, forward foot controls, a vertically oriented side-mounted license plate holder, and a side stand.

Braking up front is provided by a Flyrite Choppers 11.5″ drilled stainless-steel disc with a 2004 Yamaha YZ250 caliper, and a Flyrite combination sprocket/rotor and two-piston caliper kit is fitted at the rear.

The chrome rabbit-ear handlebar is fitted with Kustom Tech billet forged hand controls. There is no instrumentation, therefore mileage is unknown.
