My old T100

Ive got to get something running soon.

Vl Frame progress

Made some real good progress on my frame last weekend. The prior "customizers" thought they would do it rite by welding shitty plates to the axle plates in order to mold it in. Got the motor to fit in as well.

All cleaned up like it should be to show off those nice HD castings.
Cutting seat post section is a must when fitting an overhead valve motor is these old VL frames.
Thought Id be tricky and leave the cool rib on the bottom.
Ended up taking it all out like everyone else does.
Nice motor clearance.
A rough Idea of how she'll look.

A good one for sure.

Thanks to all who came by our little booth and checked out our new shovelfinboxes. It was cool meeting you all and talking with old freinds and new. We got what we thought was a great response. When guys like Irish Rich, Rico Fodrey, And Keino to name a few give us the good nod that tells me were doing something rite. We trucked our test bike there to make time but were able to ride it back and put some good test miles on it. I'm happy to say it didnt miss a beat. This is the first HD motor weve built from the crank on up. The guy riding next to Mike Pepper was a super cool bro we met named Frank and he blasted the whole way home with us on a borrowed late model FXR.

A long hard road that seems to have no end.

A runner again

Looking good with minimal problems.

Just about done.

Progress

Get it done.

Progress

Got the frame blacked out and laid down the color on the tank and fender. Its time to start reassembly.

Time is not on our side.

Born free is almost here and we have to get this thing looking halfway decent.

Vl frame "project"

This should be avoided.

Did these for a Custom er recently.

Chopper Dave

In my opinion he is way responsible for the resurgance of cast aluminum MC parts being put out now days. Its a very cool thing. These alternator covers are Legand Randy Smiths and he is reproducing them. They look outstanding. Go to his blog and buy one.

Fresh goodies

Brass risers Garonteed to blow your mind.
Checkum out in the store.

Daggers

Spotted this mildly customized evo sporty at my local picknpull and was digging on the sissybar.

Pan in the ass.

Got around to machining these things. I never want to do this again.

Swissy bars

Did some fender chopping and built a sissybar today. Pretty happy with the way this thing is shaping up.

Pan Cases

Its amazing how much pan cases are. Even jacked up ones with no papers. The motor came loose while this guy was riding and he didnt get them tightened fast enough resulting in the cracking off of the motor mounts. The butchers that had them before did a complete shit job of welding them so in comes me to clean up the mess. At least they have matching belly numbers.

Frisco'd

Gives this thing some curb appeal.
