When Bobby Spry first bought this bike it was a new 2008 Street Glide and the idea was to have a daily driver. Bobby had other bikes but they weren’t conducive to traveling back and forth to work every day. This was 4 years ago before baggers became what they are today. However, as time went by he started thinking about doing a custom bagger. Back then no one was building custom baggers in the Islands. Even his friends just told him “Bobby, we don’t do that kind of stuff.” So he thought “OK, I’m going to be the first.”

Bobby was raised in Hawaii and is also an avid fisherman- so he wanted to have a Hawaiian theme. That’s were the fishhooks and the “Opa Nui” comes in. “Opu Nui” means “big belly” in Hawaiian

and the name comes from his fishing boat. That’s also why there’s ghost koi on the saddlebags and other spots on the bike. There are “Olukai” fishhooks on the floorboards. To the ancient Hawaiians the bone fishhook represented strength, prosperity, abundance, and a great respect for the sea.

He started ordering parts to fit that theme but he didn’t like the way they looked when they arrived. The more parts that came in the worse they seemed. He just hated them; “They just didn’t fit what I had in mind for the bike, so I ended up modifying almost all of them.” He stretched the bags, molded the side covers, cut the rear fender in half, and changed almost everything that he ordered. He wanted a 52-degree angle on the bags and rear fender so he had to modify the entire back end. By the way, all this is happening in his garage.

He boxed the frame and raked it out – it’s 44 degrees from the stock 26. The chin spoiler is from Camtech Baggers in South Carolina originally but he didn’t like the lines so he modified that. Tracy Wilkerson from Tracecave Customs in Alabama made the floorboards and bag latches. He also came up with the Olukai fishhook design that came out cherry; it’s one of a kind.

Bobby put overlays on the tank and dash. He installed a custom stereo, hid all the wiring in the frame rails, made the chin spoiler, customized a Sinister fender with a Sinister 26 in front wheel. It has Arlen Ness lower legs, Eddie Trotta cowbells with hidden Trotta signal lights. The front fairing is stock with a raked bucket from Headwinds to keep the light at the same elevation.

Chad Morisato from A Touch of Air applied the paint and Dennis & Mad Mike at Cosmic Airbrush pin striped it. The color is “2008 Dodge Viper Snakeskin Pearl”.
