Oh so fresh paint

Bro… Seriously…. This fucker rips your nuts off it’s so sick. The whole bike is an ass kicker, but the custom tank and the seriously unFUCKINbelievable (yes, one word) paint job rawk it hard. Don’t be surprised if the paint on the Savage chopper is heavily inspired by this. Love it.

Post vacation check in - back in the shack

O.K monkey’s, I’m back stateside trying to get back into the swing of things. Italy was rad, except for getting the flu for a few days. Everyone there was sick, an epidemic they called it. Regardless, times were good and the food - as to be expected - was incredible.
I kept a lookout for […]

Mounted some clubmans just for giggles. Found the donor bars (afore mentioned clubmans) spacer for the center of the Topper bars assembly and fabbed. Mounted the fine Xian / Biltwell […]

Lathe Operation Manual

I love the internet because with a little effort you stumble across things like this: the U.S Army’s Lathe Operation Manual for machinist. I’m a knowledge junkie, especially with anything that is or could be related to bike building, so coming across this kind of stuff (for free!) gets me psyched. Hopefully by sharing it […]
