Watch the last 3 minutes of the show here:  Custom Cruisers American Thunder Episode

Two months ago the Crew from the New American Thunder came to Cruiser Customizing for a build of a Vulcan 900 for Charity Hodges.  Cruiser Customizing, The Metric Leader, was to work with Colby Donaldson on a Metric for Charity to ride out to the famous Alice's Restaurant Motorcycle Hangout.  

The day came... Colby arrived... but there was no Charity!

I must admit that I was slightly (well... more than slightly) disappointed to not have the opportunity to hang out, build bikes, and ride with Charity.

Colby did arrive with producer Jay Barbieri and the build took place. We added a bunch of Kuryakyn parts as well as a set of Vance and Hines exhaust to the Vulcan 900 and it turned out great.

After the build, we took the bike to the wet streets for the test ride.  

The show will air tonight on the New American Thunder TV show on SPEED TV.

I took some of the photos and video from the build ... and put together a preview or summary of the event.
