For sale


Alright people, I'm looking to sell my '97 Buell Thunderbolt. 22k miles, runs really well, light front end and body modifications to resemble more of the early cyclone body style. Only upgrade I know of is the V&H carbon fiber exhaust that the po put on. I don't think they changed the jetting when they put the pipe on so from time to time the bike sputters at idle. Also included in the package is a clean titled '94 sportster frame with swingarm and shocks. Rear cyl base gasket is starting to weep a little, so some wrenching in the future will be needed. $2500 firm or $3200 with a titled '94 sportster frame.

Shorty fender




Had to throw a fender on my bike to get it inspected and I wanted to modify/make something that I'd want to leave on it. When I have time I'll make some sleeves to weld onto the fender mounts so they match the fork mount diameter better.

Fill it to the brim


There's nothing like getting every bit of use out of something.

mirror mount

Needed a mirror mount for my bike.



I put these little videos together hoping to help the garage builder cutlure (which I'm proud to be a part of) gain fabrication knowledge if needed. They aren't groundbreaking or original ideas/designs at times so I'd never claim to be the "inventor" of anything. I just try to carry on the love of hand making functional custom parts for motorcycles while tipping my hat to all those who've come before me.

Oliver's tank shell.






I'm not sure what tank this started as, but I cut a shitload of metal out of the center of this thing!

Milltown hot rod show






Met some friends in Palmer, MA to walk around and check out some cars and bikes. I was relatively uninspired by most of the bikes there, and the ones I liked have already been photographed by me at other times. Here are some pics of cars I dig.
