Rebuilding a Harley crank

 Is no small task. I got a quote to have it done and baulked at the price. But after all is said and done I'll pay the pros's next time.
 This pinion shaft from ACCEL was within .000 of a thousands. Tits
 The torque specs are crazy high on these things.
 Get your half's true before putting them together.
 After a long battle we got this baby within .0005
 If it wasn't for my partner Mike Pepper's vast experience with 2 stoke cranks we wouldn't have even attempted this feat. The tooling needed alone will set you back half the price of a rebuild.
Sealed up nicely and on to more assembly.

RIP

There impact cannot be denied. They broke down so many barriers man. My heart sank a little when I heard. The older guys who may read this might not really get it but if you where born anytime past 69' and skated or punkerd out then you do know.

These crossover pipes took some time


Bought some rings from orchard supply and welded them to the tips for effects
Had em silver ceramic coated. Cheaper than chrome but doesnt compare in looks.

Rockerboxes



We finally got these where we want them and will start selling them soon. I have a list of people who have contacted me since we first showed them at Born Free 3. They will be sold in the order people contacted me. I have saved all of your info and thank you for being so patient and supportive. This is a part time gig for us rite now but hopefully it will turn full time sooner than we think so we can start living the dream and nightmare of independant employment. I am taking orders now but not payment yet.

Waymores Blues

I built a custom set of risers for a customer a while back and he finished his bike and its looking sweet to say the least. He's out there winning shows and may get a feature in Easyriders with the photos Micheal Lichter took. Were super stoked for Mr. Wade and honored to have our parts on his mean mochine.

Found this nice solid fender at a non bike related flea market. Its like a minnie bobtail.
A little trimming will do.

I like it.

Born Free pics

For those of you waiting for some rockerboxes all we can say is sooner than later we will have some in stock. I'm glad we didnt take any pre orders thats for sure.

I didnt manage to take any pics of our booth but some other people did. I stole one from MCart and one from the Throwbacks motorcycle club blog.
