Craig's Sportster hard tail
Craig's sportster! Finally grabbed some shots with it in mock up. This frame was some work! I had this guy working with me doing most of my fab and welding. At first everything was going good. We told Craig we would build a hard tail for his bike. No problem Right! Well next thing I know dude is going off acting like a idiot and starts eating acid again. Now mind you dude is 40 something years old. Next thing you know he's blowing me off and disappearing. Great! I've lined up this frame job plus others and all we're my friends. So with working 40+ hours a week swinging the hammer, then coming home to wrench on bikes. I was getting worried. I'm a man of my word I don't screw people over. After hunting down this asshole I had it. My friends wanted their frames! I flipped I told the dude never to show his face around here again in a few choice words. Then I do what I do get shit done! I worked day and night to get caught up which hmmm. 6 months or so later I feel like I'm still behind. I think the frame turned out great though. I love the look of the single hoop frames.
Honda Cafe
Started building this over the summer. Its on hold right now until the Indian and Triumph chopper are done. The tank is off a 74 550. The stock Honda tank is so huge, making the bike so wide. I had a scrap 550 laying around and with a little work to the tunnel it was on. The petcock has to be relocated. The tail section is half of gas tank from a 70's Honda enduro. It worked out rather well and save a hell of alot of time compared to making one from scratch. Still lots of work to do.
Got Rubber
Decided on the Firestone Deluxe! When I got the Indian it had a Goodyear Grasshopper. I really wanted to run one again but no ones repops them for a 18". I can't figure out way such a cool tire.I'm happy with the Firestone! Its just good to see it getting to this point!

60 mph chain whip
While attending A.M.I, Bill and me decided to head out to the Cabbage Patch. Its a bar in the cow fields outside Daytona. On the way back I was doing about 60mph. Luckily for the engine
I was off the gas, it didn't break my case. It was unlucky for my back! It hurt!
