Xavier Muriel, Cycle Source Magazine’s 2019 Readers Poll Builder of the Year and builder of Easyriders Magazine’s 2019 Bike of the Year, built a custom motorcycle for us, and one lucky member of the High Seas Rally community will win it! The love for motorcycles courses through Xavier’s bloodline. At 6 years old, Xavier received his first bike from his father – a 1974 Honda “Mr. 50.” At the same time, Xavier was also growing increasingly passionate about music, which turned into a career that took him all over the world. Xavier has played on the same stages as his childhood idols, but he never loosened his grip on his love for motorcycles. In between tours and recording as a drummer for Buckcherry, Xavier built a motorcycle for himself, just for kicks. His father always told him, “Exhaust all efforts before you pay someone to do it.” That first bike sent Xavier down the road to begin building custom motorcycles professionally and opening his own shop. With help from friends in the industry, Xavier dove into building custom motorcycles with the same love he put into his music. “To me, these two loves are one in the same,” Xavier says. “It is a creative process that starts with an idea from which you take the raw elements and time and hard work, and then you watch it come to life. That is the beauty from which art is created. I approach my builds in the same manner as my drumming: Less is always more. Clean and simple lines that enhance the overall feel and look of a bike. To me, that makes a motorcycle. After all they are made to be ridden.”

Specializing in ground-up and Harley-Davidson-based customs, Kory Souza Originals is a one-stop-shop for all of your motorcycle fabrication, paint & body, parts & accessories, installation, and service & maintenance needs. Owner, Kory Souza, began his motorcycle career in Bridgewater, Massachusetts. He started out sweeping floors and shipping parts, and quickly earned his way up the ranks at Perewitz Cycle Fab. Before he knew it, he was known as the right-hand-man of custom motorcycle legend Dave Perewitz, and was even accepted at a very young age to the prestigious motorcycle organization, Hamsters USA, founded by some of the top names in the motorcycle industry, including his mentor Dave Perewitz, Arlen Ness, and Donnie Smith. After 9 years of a full-spectrum working education, Kory decided to leave snowy New England for the sunny beaches of Florida, where he opened Kory Souza Originals in 2013. From the time the shop doors opened, Kory worked hard to establish his name and build a reputation that would make his business successful and well-respected among industry peers. The team at KSO learned the importance of attention to detail and excellent customer service by following Kory’s lead. They take pride in their work and strive for perfection on even the smallest tasks. Kory has an amazing eye for design, which is highly valued by his customers, in fact, most customers give him full creative reign on their projects. Kory says his favorite part of his job is seeing the reaction on his customers’ faces when their brand new Kory Souza Originals build is revealed. Kory believes that motorcycles are made to ride – and that includes the custom ones too. From big-wheel baggers to custom softails dubbed “dirtytails”, KSO bikes are not trailer queens. You can find Kory and his crew throughout the year riding cross-country on charity rides and to motorcycle events all over the US. Kory’s creations have been featured on the covers and pages of motorcycle publications all over the world. He has been awarded titles such as “Baddest Bagger”, “Master Builder”, “Sturgis Mayor’s Award” and many more over the years, but the greatest accomplishment of all is the family he has formed with his customers and community.
