Australian custom bike champion

A collaborative effort, titled ‘Indian – Retro 37', claims the prize after three state-based competitions

The 2009-2010 East Coast Custom Australian Custom Bike Championship held the final of its three state-based competitions in during this year’s Melbourne Motorcycle Expo, with Brad Fraser from 101 Customs crowned the overall winner.

The bike, named Indian – Retro 37, was built by Shane Cooper from Speed Demon Cycles on the Gold Coast.

Also collaborating on the winning project were Lucky Caleb Airbrushing (frame moulding, prep and airbrushing), Lewis and Sons (powder coating) and Pine Rivers Electroplating (chrome).

For their efforts, the winners received a brand new S&S ‘X-Wedge’ engine.

“The three shows – Sydney, Gold Coast and Melbourne – have seen some amazing entries in the competition, and Brad’s Indian – Retro 37 is certainly a deserving winner,” said Australian Motorcycle Expo Event Manager Mark Petersen.

The next motorcycle expo on the calendar is in Sydney from November 25-27, 2011.

Alternating events follow, with Gold Coast returning in February 2012 and Melbourne returning in November 2012.
