Head on over to your local "biker boutique" and get yourself a flannel shirt and a used leather jacket. They'll keep you nice and warm while you search for that rusty star-hub front wheel.

Someone came into my shop and told me about this motorcycle shop he went to on Hollywood Blvd. I told him I never heard about but the next time I was in the area I'd check it out. Then he says, yeah, it's really cool, it's like a biker boutique! I'm not sure he even realized what he just said. Those words go together about as well as jumbo shrimp. Has the 300mm tire has officially returned?

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.

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.
