Noble in Silver
This is what we get when we treat the Softail Heritage to our big Chicano package and ask a master like Chiko to the paint parts: a really chic and high-quality lowrider with good rideability, as we recently proved on the mountain roads around Lake Faak. Thus the Silverado joins the family of our colorful Chicanos like the El Divino and the Esmeralda. The Silverado shines in its very own way with a special play of colors.
For this kind of custom bike we have developed some parts and measures with which you can change the complete style in no time. These include the lowrider wheels and the protruding fenders, the triple clamp with larger rake to be able to install a large front wheel (23 inches) and the swingarm conversion with upsweep to be able to put the rear as low as possible. The flat line desired for a true lowrider is achieved by lowering the front and rear, each combined with air rides. Matching this Chicano we have used for the first time our Lowrider wheels made of high quality aluminum in 5-spoke style.
Many other parts round off the style visually and ensure good handling characteristics. These include the high and wide Ape Hanger (36 / 87 cm) and the covers on the front end as well as the Pulley brake system, the side license plate holder and the many smaller covers. The long exhaust system with the fishtails as a finish, which belongs to this style, is one of our special designs.
While the handmade leather seat is already a highlight in itself on many of our Chicanos, such as the Dos Chicanos, we have opted for an almost plain design here. In this way, Spirit Leather leaves the exclusive lacquer design of Chiko’s Pinstriping to play the leading role.
Chiko has created a look with special depth and impressive color play through an extreme candy lacquer with a high flake content and a few layers of clear lacquer. The paint takes on the colors of the environment and can shimmer bluish when the sky is reflected or greenish when the bike is on a meadow.

On the Road around Faak
Even though the Silverado undoubtedly has real showbike qualities, it is also extremely rideable. We had it ready in time for Bike Week in Faak and took it with us to ride over the mountain roads. There were a few of our custom bikes on the Thunderbike team and they all took the tight corners around Wurzenpass and other small trails in stride. That’s what we want from our bikes. They have to be rideable. And when they’re as pretty to look at as the Silverado, we know we’ve done a good job.
