Velocity stacks

I redesigned and just finished another batch of stacks. I also made some tooling to speed the process up a bit. I will now include hose clamps that use snapping teeth instead of the conventional worm-drive ones. Pictures are on the way. My camera is not wanting to open up for me so I think it's off to the store to see what I can get. Are there any digital cameras made in the USA? It would be nice to have a camera that lasts longer than 9 months. China sucks.

Brass Pegs...


I got a request the other day to make some brass footpegs to the shape that reminds me of a slapper. I was pretty happy theY way the came out. Heavy as shit though!! I do not like adding unnecessary weight if I don't have to, but that's just me. Hope you enjoy them, Rudy. STORE-BOUGHT'S FOR SUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!11

New paint coming


My original vision of blue flake with a bronze frame didn't quite work together but I wasn't gonna stop riding just for a paint job- fuck that...Here's a look at a honda with a paint scheme that will work better and I can still follow the flow of the indents on the sporty tank with some stripes...

Getting old!!!!


Had a birthday this past weekend with cake, ice cream, hats, the whole nine yards. Started with about 8 cases of beer and ended up with 10. WTF?? I know I had my share but some friends didn't show which bummed me out. Presents? All I wanted was a fucking massage. My back's been so fucked up lately I didn't even ask for the happy ending, just an honest massage. Didn't get that either but I did get a gift card to the GAP and Home Depot- maybe I'll buy a pair of boxers and a shovel. What did mom always say about having clean underwear? A good stretch last night helped though; just need to do it more often and drink less cuz the hangovers last longer the older you get.

FORK YOU


Shortening forks isn't as easy sometimes, especially when you're dealing with a bmw and its freaky-deaky internals. I cut 2" off and re-bored and threaded the ID which only took me about an hour and 1/2 but compared to my forks which I just made spacers underneath the dampeners- took only 5 minutes. Here's a nice close-up inside the lathe.

Thanks Obama....


From years of using your product, I am left with nasty pillowcases and premature hairloss. I'll have to check out your new wig line. Fuck it.

Let's put the past behind us


Que pasa people, hope everyone enjoyed their holidays despite the horrible way the year 2009 treated everyone. Got back a while ago, helping out a friend with his wiring.
Ahh germans and their bmws. Actually 1/2 mexican but I'm not telling anyone, oops. Here is a pic of this black beauty. It was a little tricky since you need to keep the charge light or else, well, it won't charge. I threw entire loom away and started fresh with new fuseholders and relays. All exposed wires are black/white cloth-covered from www.lowbrowcustoms.com which contribute to his black-on-black theme.
