Photo: Lugz Bike Tank by Danny Gray

July 18, 2012 By Nadeem

Danny Gray, who designs a lot of the seats you see on the custom motorcycles built by Orange County Choppers, handcrafted this one-off leather tank cover. The bike was commissioned by Lugz, which is why it looks like a work boot.

We love it! Gray and OCC combined their talents to try something new and pulled it off marvelously.

    This is pretty wild! It would cool to see a company come up with a corset design as well!

    Maybe The Game can buy this bike and create his own fleet of leather wrapped vehicles!
