A Custom Harley FXRT Motorcycle Build: Story and Products

Kaizen Build Breakdown: Continuous Improvement on Two Wheels

Looking for FXRT build inspiration? Whether you're deep into a Dyna or searching for the perfect FXRP fairing setup, this one’s for you.

Meet Kaizen—a purpose-built, performance-minded, custom 1991 Harley-Davidson FXRT that blends heritage style with modern upgrades. The name comes from the Japanese word for continuous improvement—a fitting title for a machine that demanded precision, patience, and relentless refinement.

A SHELTON EINERWOLD CUSTOM 1991 HARLEY-DAVIDSON FXRT

The Story Behind Kaizen

Some bikes are built to make noise. Others are built to make a statement. Kaizen does both.

Named after the Japanese concept for “continuous improvement,” this custom 1991 FXRT embodies the philosophy of never settling and always refining. For builder Shelton Einerwold, Kaizen wasn’t just about putting parts together. It was about the why behind every piece, the function behind the form, and the journey of evolution through the build process.

This build wasn’t thrown together—it was fought for. Builder Shelton Einerwold took this custom FXRT from bare frame to dialed-in machine through serious trial and error. Electrical headaches, parts hunting, and long hours in the garage were all part of the process.

But that's what Kaizen means—relentless forward motion. Every bolt turned was another step toward something better.

This FXRT was built to be ridden hard and admired even harder. It doesn’t shout. It doesn’t apologize. It just performs. That’s the beauty of custom.
