Custom Builder Ron Finch Photo Gallery
Ron Finch has been building award-winning choppers since the 1960s. We talked to Finch about his career and about one of his most recent builds, the Captivator.
The combination of clean welds and crisp rodwork on the Captivator demonstrate the skills Finch has honed over the last 40+years.
This is definitely one of the most unique front fenders you'll find.
Finch sits on Captivator in front of his self-made castle in Auburn Hills.
No matter how hard I tried, the Captivator lived up to its reputation and its creative design kept calling me back to inspect it further.
The unique frame and intricate rodwork are signature Finch traits.
Finch adhere's to the 'Art in Motion' adage and insists that all of his bikes are built to be ridden hard.

Finch says that his original pipes 'have a nice rap to them.'
The bottle cap design is everywhere, even in these Finch-created floorboards.
The twisted metal frame is covered in orange, gold and blue hues all streaked with shiny glitter.
You can tell that Finch has some skills as a pinstriper by the rays emanating from the fuel tank cap that sits on Captivator's rear fender.

OK, admittedly it might not be tops in comfort, but Captivator's seat gets props for creativity.
