Basket Case Sportster/Buell Update

I thought this project would have been a little further along but since it's a shop deal, it only gets what it gets when time is available. I had some time to kill on Sunday so I jammed over to the shop to see if I could get a few things done on this thing. Got the rear wheel, rear brake, chain line squared away first. Once that was done I moved on to the rear fender and struts. The seat was next but I'm not sure it's going to stay. The fender is a modified Chica 5". The rear brake is Perfomance Machine 4 piston with a PM rear disc. The seat is from West Eagle and Biltwell's cast stainless steel seat hinge. The tail light is just an idea at this point. Stay tuned, it will get done.

West Coast Choppers CFL

These are still one of my favorite chopper frames. We've got this CFL project going together this week.  This one is an original 2 up, running  Paughco's narrow springer and rolling on a set of Roland Sands Designs, Diesels. It's going to be powered by an 113" S&S backed by a Baker 6speed. Stay tuned, it's happening now.

2012 Monster Energy Supercross, On Board With Josh Grant

Easyriders Bike Show Tour 2012 Anaheim Ca.

Easyriders opened up their 2012 bike show tour this year at the Anaheim Convention Center. Pomona  had been the venue for the past fifteen or so years but for some reason unknown to me, they moved it. Anyway, since it was really close to the shop, we brought a few bikes over Friday evening. Here's some of what we saw around the show before it opened.
