The Grab Bar.....
....Saturday night could have been for disco dancing but instead I headed to my buddy Matt's shop to bend some stainless tubing and make some cool lil brackets. He of course handled the tig duties and stuck together what was stuck in my mind: the sportster grab bar. Here it is on a '98 frame ready to go. I love it because it's practical, bolt-on and super sexy. I'll be doing these with 3/4 DOM not 1" like this one-off for Mr. Bill.

After Hours Choppers...
Like myself, Gabe from After Hours Choppers started his business at night after everyone else went home, working, striving, to make unmatched quality products that honor the tradition of being "Made in USA" .
Enough said...........go to his website and buy some cool stuff as well as camping gear, knives, and engraved goodies from Lilian Rose and family.

Taste the Rainbow
Today I received an envelope full of new stickies from Dan of The Speed Merchant. He and his team pump out quality parts which are made here in our own backyard. Check them out here and spend some dough! Thanks Dan!

Back in the U.S.A.
After two weeks of traveling around Europe, I'm back in the U.S.A. It's great to be riding in the sun once again.

Bates Super Kicker
Here's a kicker that I designed and machined to match the Bates Super pegs.
A total of 9 pieces come together giving you a heavy duty kicker that will last. And
it spins of course.

Buy it, Ride it, Love it.......
My buddy Temecula Terry from Alhambra is selling his beloved Thruxton, so cash out that sorry 401K you've been losing money on for the last 5 years and put a smile back on your face. I rewired this bike myself and must say it is the cleanest Thruxies I've ever seen. Handmade gas tank, Bultaco type fairing, racing suspension, custom mods all over the place make this baby a badass canyon carver and overall head turner. Contact this crazy beer-chugging, knife-throwing, shit-talking mother fucker at BEERBOOTERS@GMAIL.COM

Progress
1200 kit is here!
Fork boots, highlighted heads, and improved front brake caliper. Not much done today.

Progress
The front end got a major upgrade by my friend Eddie at MBR (Munoz Brothers Racing) with Race Tech springs and emulators. Eddie works part time for Race Tech of Corona and runs MBR out of his garage, so if you want killer deal on suspension work from an honest guy, drop me a message and I'll provide you with his point of contact. Can't wait to try these babies out!
On top of the fork upgrade, the front now sports Speed Merchant's fork adjusters and a SS brake line guide made by BCM.
I should receive all the parts needed to complete the front end tomorrow. Can't wait!

Sunday Cleaning
After two days of stripping the powder coat, cutting, grinding, filing, sanding, and scotch-briting, the legs are free of all casting marks and sharp edges. The tabs are here to stay since I run a front brake and a fork brace. The top tree also got some attention and is now missing the headlight bucket tabs. Tedious and time consuming but well worth it in the end.
I should be picking up some parts from the powder coater tomorrow, so the Sporty should be put together by Friday. Until then, I will be giving the same treatment to other parts that needs some loving, including these riser bottoms to match this bad-ass Biltwell top clamp.
