This is the second bike built by Kustom Fab in Oahu, Hawaii we’ve featured. We’ve Sponsored and attended all three Choppers only shows in Hawaii, and I believe that Roger And Darren Ho have won the coveted Best of Show awards at each event. This is also another opportunity to bring you a feature from […]

I met The Devil today. He wasn’t quite what I had expected. For one thing, his horns were smaller. He was also calmer than I expected. No, I’m not talking about Lucifer; I’m talking about Kent Weeks. Kent is owner/operator of Lucky Devil Metalworks in Houston, Texas. I was sent on a mission to see

It had to outdo the bikes he’d built before, represent the company, and it had to be ride-able. Jeff’s deadline, to have the bike finished by the Big, V-twin expo, but distractions
