Shannon Aikau

Lead Motorcycle Builder

Shannon Aikau is the master bike builder for Count’s Kustoms and a main character on the show Counting Cars. Shannon’s passion for all things motorcycle was passed down from his dad, Jimmy, who was a longtime friend of the Koker family. When the Kokers decided to open Counts Kustoms, it was a no-brainer to have Jimmy and Shannon, with their expertise, manage the custom chopper builds. Shannon’s all-time favorite build is the 1977 Purple Haze FXE because the engine was the last one built by Jimmy. He worked on it with both his father, Mr. Koker and Danny. It was one of the last projects he got to work on with his dad. You can find it today located above the bar at Count’s Vamp’d Rock and Roll Bar. Shannon has a soft spot for his daughters and loves to practice archery in his free time.

About Shannon

Shannon Aikau was born and raised in Hawaii on the island of Oahu. As the national pastime, surfing was always present in Shannon’s life. But be careful of the shore break at Sandy’s; you never know what you might lose. His introduction for the love of everything mechanical came at a young age. Following in his dad’s footsteps, Shannon’s passion for motorcycles grew to no end, and eventually took him to Las Vegas, where he met Danny Koker while working for Evil Twin Cycles. He built Danny’s first few bikes and has been building motorcycles for Count’s Kustoms ever since.

Family fact: The Aikau family also has an infatuation with VW. At one point or another every family member had a VW: ‘They are in abundance and cheap’.

Family history: Surfing Legend, Eddie Aikau, is Shannon’s second cousin.
