moto style




Moto style bends and knurls in stainless 1" tubing. As far as aesthetics go, these were made for wideglide trees but shown on a narrowglide tree. Available in the store later today.

I'll be playing with some more bend combos soon.

The line

The line. Anyone who has ever enjoyed building things has crossed it at some part in the journey we call creation. Spending an obscene amount of time trying to get something just right... or at least how you see it in your mind. There could've been ten different ways to go about solving a problem or completing a task, but we choose one.

Made an exhaust mount... took me 3 1/2 hours and used the equipment below.

-tig welder
-lathe
-bridgeport
-angle grinder w/ multiple wheels
-angle die grinder w/ multiple wheels
-files
-pedestal grinder and buffer

I crossed the line today... and wouldn't have it any other way.

Roadside








Spied this Sunday am while walking the dog. Saw some potential in this free cabinet, so I headed to the shop to add some mid-century flavor to it's 70's era construction.

Front exhaust mount

Check one more thing off the ironhead to do list. Re-purposed exhaust clamp, half of a gas tank mounting strap, some lathed brass, and a three piece clamp.

crazy sky


Crazy colors that you just can't capture on the phone camera.
