Pickled onion have long been part of the specialised custom graphics industry and have many commissions in designing and supplying custom graphics. These vary in a multitude of appliances from modern conventional laser cut vinyl designs through to hand airbrush designs, 24k gold stencilling and the lost art of screen printed water slides.This is a one-off custom build that was a labour of love and is now time to let it go. This is a show bike that looks great on the road or as a collector’s piece housed indoors where it has been for the past few years. The mono shock design was only available between 1981 — 1983 making them very rare and difficult to find now.
