Omar’s Chicara-inspired bike “BoneX” was entirely handmade apart from the tires and 1967 AJS16 350cc single cylinder engine. Built in just four months, Omar’s bike features his own 5-speed inline transmission and “Double Arm Freek” front end design.The inaugural event attracted 80,000 visitors over three days, and it is hoped to expand the number of motorcycle industry exhibitors and incorporate an expanded format custom show next year.
