Excelsis Deo from Chaos Cycles

We received an email inquiring about a bike build from an European woman who has a apartment in New York City. She wanted something reliable, comfortable and able to handle the rigors of New York traffic.

She saw that we had won the International Motorcycle show in New York and checked out our web site, realizing we could handle her requests, she allowed us to put our own spin on things. We ironed out the details and got started. Turns out she is a princess and the matriarch of her family.

Who would of thought a 50 year old princess would want a chopper! Her only other request was she wanted some red. I asked her if she had a high end bag she didn’t use any more and she sent us a gucci suitcase that was sent to Xian leather to cover the seat pan and battery in.

I thought a S&S shovel would fit what both of them required in the motor, reliable and not the normal evo either. With Baker transmissions being the only tranys they trust, it was only natural for us to back up the motor with one.

There was tons of fab work involved which I tackled myself. Paint work was done by Chris Mauro of colour works. The end result?A tight powerful little bike that handles awesome and is fun to ride. A Chaos Creation fit for royalty.
