A Ninja of Uncharted Waters H2o Cycles’ copper plating is the new element in sportbike customization by Beth Dolgner, photos by Scott Odell Pullquote: “I felt a great relationship with the ZX-14 when I first met it because there were a million things about it that I hated.” Pullquote: “Anybody who’s going to customize a 14 is going to forget that it’s the daddy Ninja. The theme is built in.” Pullquote: “Nothing just came out of a box or package and got to go right on the bike.” Copper begins to patina almost immediately after exposure to air, turning a lustrous metal into a dull green. That look might work for the Statue of Liberty, but it won’t do for a copper motorcycle. Knowing this, Louis Grasse had his work cut out for him when he decided to build a copper Kawasaki ZX-14. The owner of H2o Cycles— a shop known for chroming plastic — Grasse is very familiar with the routine, but developing a method for copper plating was a whole new challenge.The problem wasn’t learning how to plate a part in copper. After all, it’s the first metal laid down in the three-step chroming process. The real difficulty was learning how to keep the copper from going green. “I copper-plated a Hayabusa gauge bezel about two and a half years ago. I had to keep it wrapped in a vacuum-sealed bag because copper in its raw form patinas in about three minutes.” Finding a finish that keeps copper bright and functional took months of research. Grasse estimates that he spent six or seven months trying various methods before he even took delivery of his ZX-14. He tried about 50 different types of clear finishes, from automotive clear coats to products designed for museum collections. Finally, Grasse found a clear coat for chrome that came close to the result he was looking for. It takes a catalyst to make the two-part finish ideal for copper, but Grasse isn’t telling all of his secrets. Out of the Shadows With the copper plating process finalized, Grasse was ready to start building his copper bike. Choosing the ZX-14 as his canvas was easy. “The 14 is new, and everybody’s got their own theory about it. They either love it or they hate it, and that is exactly when I know that it’s time to put a custom version of something out,” says Grasse, who notes that it’s the best-handling bike he’s ever gotten his hands on. “I felt a great relationship with this 14 when I first met it because there were a million things about it that I hated. All I saw was great opportunities.”

A set of RC Components Assassin wheels, the front fork assembly, the side panels on the lower fairing, and two nitrous bottles glimpsed through the rear tailpiece are among the parts that Grasse copper plated. A lot of the smaller components are also copper, from the spike fairing bolts to the mirrors, which are fashioned from ninja throwing knives that Grasse acquired from Japan. Grasse went with a ninja theme for the bike because, he says, “anybody who’s going to customize a 14 is going to forget that it’s the daddy Ninja. The theme is built in. To a real Kawi enthusiast, this is a Ninja.” The ninjas on the tank, tailpiece and windscreen are the airbrushing work of Gator Customs, who also installed Gator Glass to illuminate the artwork. In all, Grasse estimates that there are 500 lights on the bike. The custom H2o swingarm has a laser-etched plate on it featuring a ninja and the H2o logo, as well as the bike’s name, Copper Shadows. The side fairings have their own voluptuous female ninja, who was etched onto a piece of clear acrylic then lit from the sides. The copper really stands out thanks to the black canvas of the ZX-14. The front fender is custom-made by Drastic Plastic, and features copper side fins. The black seat is made of ostrich, and the Bruce’s Fabrication exhaust was wrapped in copper and black to hide its chrome finish. Grasse had just one more thing to add after the copper plating and ninja theme were complete: he molded a new gas tank cover and inserted a five-inch navigation system. In addition to a GPS, the system also includes a Bluetooth connection. Shogun Grasse credits Bob Fisher at Roaring Toyz for the inspiration behind the copper bike. “About three and a half years ago, when I really started breaking into the market with the plastic chrome, we talked about doing a copper bike,” says Grasse. Now that Copper Shadows is finished, Grasse doubts that he’ll ever build a shop bike with so many copper pieces again. Each part has to go through a 12-step process to get its copper shine. After plating, a part gets four different buffing treatments before the clear coat, and another round of buffing follows sanding. “The reality is it’s going to be a much more expensive process because it’s very labor intensive,” says Grasse. “It requires a lot more attention to detail. Nothing just came out of a box or package and got to go right on the bike. “It’s a passionate project of mine, and hopefully it shows in the work. I know that I could have built this bike in chrome in a month. I just wanted to try and have something that stands out for a little while.” Specs: Copper Shadows, 2006 Kawasaki ZX-14 Builder/Owner: Louis Grasse, H2o Cycles, Jacksonville, Florida, www.h2ocycles.com Engine: Two one-pound copper plated nitrous bottles, Bruce’s Fabrication exhaust.

Custom 2006 Suzuki GSX-R 1000 by H2O Cycles - High-Roller Speed, style and sin (but not necessarily in that order)—that's the theme of this 2006 Suzuki GSX-R1000 from H2O Cycles, dubbed "High Roller," which is complete with chromed bodywork, crazy graphics and plenty of Gator Glass By Scott Odell Photography: Carla Fontaine Modern society offers up plenty of vices to distract us—gambling, drugs, booze, guns, money and, of course, fast women—the options are almost limitless if you’re looking to stir up a little bit of trouble for yourself. Many people might even add sportbikes to this list. Almost obnoxiously overpowered, most of us have trouble just getting out of our neighborhood on our bikes without bending a dozen traffic laws—sounds to us like a one-way ticket to Sin City. It only makes sense, then, that when Louis Grasse of H2O Cycles (www.h2ocycles.com) in Jacksonville, Florida, was searching for a theme for his latest custom creation, based on a 2006 Suzuki GSX-R1000, the vices of life seemed a perfect choice. Look closely at the paintwork on Grasse’s Gixxer and you’ll see details that call out many of those vices we find so tempting—and look under that paint (at the nitrous bottle tucked between the rails of the 18-inch-over swingarm, for example) and you’ll see plenty of evidence of unchecked power, too! Grasse got his hands on the brand-new GSX-R around Christmas of ’05 (for all we know, it could have been his Christmas present—his fiancé, Christine, seems to be a woman of great taste). Grasse first made a name in the custom sportbike scene for H2O Cycles by chrome plating plastic bodywork panels (his last bike was an all-chrome Hayabusa that you can view on the shop’s web site), so, naturally, he started this GSX-R off by chroming a few of its plastic body panels. The upper fairing mask, fairing sidepanels, and filler panels between the tank and frame were sandblasted, smoothed, run through a special electro-acid bath, and then copper-plated, nickel-plated and finally chrome-plated to a beautiful finish. The surface on these body panels is absolutely flawless, and you’d never guess that these began as factory OEM plastic parts. Unlike his blinding, all-chrome Hayabusa (which, to be honest, is difficult to look at in direct sunlight), Grasse used the chrome bodywork on this latest bike as an accent, so as not to distract from the incredible graphic scheme he had in mind. Grasse knew that in order to stand apart in the crowded custom sportbike world in Florida his graphics would have to be perfect, so he searched across the country before hiring airbrush expert Steve Nunez of Bay Cycles in New York City to translate his ideas into rolling art. Nunez has over 100 hours invested in the fuel tank on this bike, and the details he has worked into these graphics are amazing. Anyone who has seen the movie Sin City should recognize the portrait of Jessica Alba on the left side of the tank. Stretched across the top of the tank is a $100 bill that has been set on fire (probably to light a very expensive Cuban cigar, in true high-roller style), and the right side features a poker flush and a cocktail set on a napkin with the words “call me” and the H2O Cycles shop phone number written on it—a cool touch. Nunez even went so far as to airbrush the H2O Cycles logo onto the saddle of the bike, with plenty of flex agent mixed into the paint so Grasse can sit on it without worrying about damaging the graphic. Chromed body panels, crazy graphics on the tank—can it get any more outrageous than this? Of course! Grasse’s next call was to brothers Ron and Randy Kleber at Gator Customs in Crestwood, Illinois, for a bunch of their proprietary illuminated graphics to light up the bike after dark. Among these graphics is a royal flush of spades with the words “High Roller” in dramatic red lettering running across the windshield, which light up with a flick of the switch. On the ram air ducts under the headlight, you’ll find illuminated 330 logos (a reference to the rear tire size), along with a “J-Ville Riders” (Grasse’s club) insignia on the passenger seat cowl. And don’t forget to look under the tailsection, where you’ll see a massive $100 dollar bill with Gatorman’s mug replacing Ben Franklin’s face. You guessed it, this bill lights up with the color of money—bright green. The Klebers at Gator Glass didn’t just stop there, though—the last mod is the craziest, and probably one of the most original modifications that we’ve seen on a custom sportbike yet. Playing off of the company’s name, H20 Cycles, the Kleber brothers chopped up a GSX-R tail and molded clear tanks into each side, which were framed with airbrushed torn-metal graphics by Randy and then filled with water—yes, honest-to-goodness H20—that is agitated by a bubbler unit and lit from behind for an absolutely show-stopping effect. It’s difficult to fully appreciate the effect in pictures, but trust us—in person, it’s simply outrageous. All those words, and we haven’t even begun to discuss the chassis mods yet! In addition to killer graphics and all the other eye-popping cosmetic touches, Grasse also knew he wanted a big hunk of meat hanging off the back of his bike. C&S Customs in Mocksville, North Carolina, fabricated the 18-inch-over extended swingarm, which is equipped with a jackshaft to allow fitment of a massive, 330-series Avon tire on an RC Components Gladiator rim. The C&S crew has over 20 hours invested in grinding, filling and shaping the swingarm and the custom-spiked ends. The arm was sprayed gunmetal gray to match the frame and set off with the H2OCycles.com URL address before it was installed on the bike along with a cutting-edge, dual-chambered air-ride suspension from DaPincci, which allows Grasse not only to change the rear ride height but also the firmness of the rear suspension as well. Situated in the center of the swingarm is a five-pound NOS bottle to feed the 50-shot nitrous system plumbed into the motor (with dual purge valves that exit through the upper fairing), which is otherwise stock except for the shorty exhaust.
