Three months ago , we published a feature story about Vilnius , Lithuania based Tommy & Sons - one of the few custom and performance Bagger specialists in Europe . This 2015 FLHTKSE is the project bike that the company had intended to enter into the October 2019 AMD World Championship of Custom Bike Building at INTERMOT , Cologne - before the world as we know it went into a medically induced coma ! It features a Tommy & Sons ' full body kit with all the accessories - from the taillights forward , including all the CNC-machined parts - designed and made in-house by Tommy Vaiciukynas and his team . The front wheel and neck are American Suspension items , with Vance & Hines pipes finished off with custom billet

end caps by Tommy & Sons . Built as a customer bike , the project was two years in the making and sought to look at Bagger styling in a new , futuristic , almost architectural way . All parts were initially computer rendered and then precision fabricated with the help of an advanced 3D printer and modified to perfectly fit and create the lines of the bike . Starting with the saddlebags and rear fender , the lines blend in a curve that creates that Holy Grail harmony of aesthetics where creation of the body parts allows each design decision to be consistent with all the design decisions . " The front fairing has the futuristic predator look ," says Tommy , " and the chin spoiler stands out with the two horns on the side . The horns hold the turn signal LEDs and the floorboard design blends together with the speaker grills . " The air filter and derby covers are mixed with organic glass to reveal the internals - all designed and CNC-milled here by the Tommy & Sons team . The front 26 " wheel is covered with a custom-made front fender and , together with the engine , is finished in grey to help the sense of design unity ."
