Dave"The Nuts"Polgreen

 When Dave decided to build his Born Free digger with our Rockerboxes I knew he was gonna go big because this dude spares no expense and naturally knows what style is all about.
 I personally think it was a little overlooked by the judges but they had a harrowing task of figuring out who took home what trophy with the quality of bikes there. This bike features Arlen Ness Frame and forks some time in the seventies.
Not only can he build a bike only few can he is one of the nicest dudes you'll meet in this chopper world we dwell in.
Congrats on another sweet build man.

We will have a booth at this event. We will have 2 sets of RockerBoxes for sale on a first come first serve basis. This show will be an epic event of grand preportions and is not to be missed by any chopper freak.

VL frame. From Turd to Glory

 A real ebay gem this thing was. This is how it arrived in the mail. Return address read Billy Lane choppers inc.
 Got to work stripping the crap off of it about a year later.

 Choppin off the neck.
 Making room for an overhead valve motor.

 Rear plates where full of welded on crap that had to be removed.
 Cleaned up nicely.
 At this point I came to the realization that I dont have the capablities to attatch this neck properly so I got ahold of the best metal fab dude within 1000 miles of me and that person was Brandon at Mullins Chaindrive who needs no intro.




The results speak for themselves. This dude is all business man when it comes to this stuff that he was seamingly born to do. He's the guy that takes the extra time to do it rite and doesnt even tell you about it. I'm super happy with the results as is everyone who see's it. Thanks again man.

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.
