When AKA Custom decided to build a high profile bike to showcase its talents, a tribute bike to the fallen friend seemed fitting. Owner Jason Peterson explained why he chose such a unique individual: This bike is an officially licensed Tapout project and was built as a tribute to Charles "Mask" Lewis. Sadly, a drunk driver killed Charles on March 11, 2009. He was an inspiration to many and will be sadly missed, but never forgotten. He reminded us every day that we all have the ability to succeed, and for that we wanted to immortalize his image." With such a well-known face being memorialized, the paint would have to be flawless. To make it as realistic as possible, AKA recruited Killer Kreationz for its superior airbrush abilities. The rest of the bike followed the bad boy business look that included a single-sided swingarm, wire spoke wheels and a host of other billet accessories.
