With his nothing-was-left-untouched wizardry, Cyril Huze will go any length to make those few chopper parts look even more minimalist. In a competitive chopper world one of Cyril's signatures is detail. He takes the time, and whatever talent needed in addition to his own to form each component into some form of an art object.
Stray Kat is not only a celebration of the long bike, a perfect example of simplicity, but also a new rendition of the neo-retro chopper that we all love so much. Choppers are all about fun, light, agile fire breathing monsters. They're designed to be illegal, anti-social, anti-establishment asphalt taggers.
We're living through interesting times in the chopper industry. Choppers were sexy, anti-factory symbols of freedom and wild times. Now choppers have nearly become mainstream except for a few. Billy Lane, Jesse James, Eddie Trotta and Cyril Huze still know how to make a chopper lean and yet completely original. Original is the key word. It's a one-of-a-kind hand engraved bored and stroked .45 automatic that you can ride across the country or hang on the wall. Either way it's art.
To all the tricks and special effects used on this custom, add the thrill of some original Huze inspired by Von Dutch graphics & pinstripping, and you get one of the finest custom choppers on the road. Stray Kat is a tribute to one of the original rebels, chopper builders, pinstriping maniacs in the industry.
What could be better.
