Hot Bike Web Exclusive Only! Coast-to-Coast Influences on a 2008 Harley-Davidson Road King








It doesn’t matter what coast you’re from when it comes to building a bike that you love. Tony, owner of Elite Motorsports, has been building custom Harley-Davidsons for the past nine years. The influences to build his shop bike started early when his mom would take him to the grocery store as a kid. Once there, Tony be-lined for the magazine rack to see what the latest trends were going on out west.
Tony has always been fascinated with the paint, chrome and attention to detail that goes into lowrider cars. Even today, he loves translating those influences from his childhood into the bikes he builds and today.
This 2012 Road King was inspired from his love of the low-low. Elite Motorsports’ goal was to build a show-wining bike without breaking the bank. He wanted to keep with the classic Southern California style builds, but still be able to ride anywhere and anytime on all the Florida roads. For more information visit elitemotorsports.biz.
