Like all things, life gets busy living in NYC! This build took a span of 2 years with a final assembly of 2 weeks.  During that two-year span however, things were done right.  The engine for instance was rebuilt by “Doug” of Gerritsen Beach, Brooklyn.  With a displacement 89” 4 5/8 S&S stroker, Wiseco pistons, and an Andrews B2 cam, this is the reason why this ride has torn up the streets of Brooklyn at a buck 120!   Very impressive I would say for a Shovel and go figure all with a ratchet top 4 speed (Andrews gears) and reverse shift, 1 up and 3 down!  The killer springer forks complement of Paughco completes a very cool front end.

Now when it comes to fabrication look at the hand-crafted exhaust! A perfect addition that adds that NYC grit.  And finally, to pull it all together is the killer paint job done by SUPRLIFE!  Known for their custom work on high end cars this was truly their first attempt on a custom bike, and they nailed it!  Peter gave them free reign, a blank canvas based on trust and a 10 year plus friendship, and they didn’t disappoint!  

At the end of the day what you see before you is a New York bike built by a New York, or should I say Brooklyn rider.  According to Peter, this is his fun bike.  It has passed the test, the proving grounds which are the city streets of NYC and beyond.  Never a dull moment on this ride as it makes its own adventures.  This build encompasses the essence of not only Peter but the place he calls home.  With its hardcore exterior comes a softness only seen through the rose inlays that sit inside this paint which is why the bike goes by the name Rosita.
