Spent the past few days working on my FXR. Not a major redo, but lots of mild mods and little detail stuff. Steve at Troy Fab has been a huge help. Been down to his shop twice in the past 4 days and we’ve churned through a bunch of stuff with his expertise. In the process I’ve taken a bunch of video which I’ll be throwing together, in the mean time, here is a mini teaser. More on the FXR in a few, for now check out Steve’s website and support one of the most honest and customer friendly businesses in this big ole moto world we live in.

Maybe not motorcycle specific, but great bit of mechanical knowledge thrown down in an easy to understand format.

I’ve seen a lot of killer engraving done for bikes before, but this just takes it to a different level.

This is making the round on the blogs, but it’s too good not to post. The shop and business concept is killer, wish we had something like it around here. Something like this really fosters that sense of community. Subject matter aside, the video is really well done and well worth you time.

It’s been a while since I posted some TubalCain videos, this time around he goes in depth with the horizontal metal band saw. This guy is such a wealth of information and incredibly passionate about metalwork. I could sit and watch these videos all day (I’ve done that on a few occasions). I hear he’s now compiled his videos into DVDs so you can watch them on your mega flat screeen instead of having to sit in front of the computer. But true to form in the effort of spreading knowledge, he’s keeping all his videos on youtube, free for anyone to watch and learn. Sit back and get schooled.

It’s not about moto bikes, but close enough - this is pure porn for fabricators. Beautifully shot and edited. It does a great job of showing the craft of custom hand fabricated pieces as well as the amount of time and effort that goes into it. Gorgeous.

I’m not sure I would call this advanced but certainly for the beginner it’s a bit more involved and dives you deeper into the craft. Good stuff.

Real basic, but great info for those getting ready to jump into welding. Check back for part 2 tomorrow.

Fun stuff. Shot it on a 50 year old super 8 camera which gives a nice aesthetic quality.

ONe of the best moto videos I’ve seen on youtube in a while. Take a peek at Decker’s collection and hear him talk history.

Our friends Zack and Scott of Choppertown / Brittown fame have a new flick coming out. These guys always deliver, check out the trailer above - you can pre-order now and save yourself a couple bucks.

Neat little tool to make things easier, seems like it would be pretty easy to make one for yourself.

Special ‘79 dropping knowledge.

I would have maybe stretched it in the back just a little bit more, but overall Lots of really nice details on this XS650 Chop.
