The 2009/10 East Coast Custom Australian Custom Bike Championship presented by Heavy Duty Magazine and QBE Insurance held the final of its three state-based competitions in Melbourne, with Brad Fraser from 101 Customs crowned the overall winner.
The bike, named Indian - Retro 37, is an incredible custom machine 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 winner received a brand new S&S 'X-Wedge' Engine.
Australian Motorcycle Expo Event Manager Mark Petersen congratulated the winning entrant and all those participating.
"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," he said.
Keep an eye on Heavy Duty magazine for a feature on the winning custom bike.
