Memories and Updates

Here is a small post showing some of the bikes I've built, helped build, donated parts to, influenced, been influenced by, I may have made one part, maybe just painted, or built completely (aside from Harley doing the motors and a few non aesthetic components)These belong to friends mostly, some acquaintances, and some strictly customers. I have learned a lot over the years, with help and influence from people. I'm proud to say I've built and help build some pretty righteous bikes, I enjoy riding mine with my friends too. I may edit this post down the road and add pix, or maybe do a part 2 as I find more older projects I may have forgot about.-DESCRIPTION WILL BE ABOVE BIKE PICTURE, I MAY HAVE MISEED SOME DETAILS ABOUT EACH BUILD, OR LEFT EM OUT BECAUSE ITS OBVIOUS- Tony's build: Its currently in the build process, but will have a 23" front, 18" rear, rewire, redtail leather seat, custom exhaust, one-off sissy bar, modded gas tank, side mount coil, ribbed fender, custom bars, hella headlight, titmouse taillight, and a slew of other shit, more pix to come, this should be one of my nicest builds hopefully!!!

As I said, I have done a lot of work on a lot of these bikes, NOT all of the work on all of these bikes, some completely avoided the chopping block and my hand, but for anyone claiming to be a bike builder, or saying they built shit they didn't I'd gladly hand them a cut-off wheel and welder and see what's up, guarantee they'd end up with a band aid and hurt feelings if I asked em to build a sissy bar from scratch! haha, anyways...Its all about fun and progress, keep it humble and always try to do better, leave the egos at the door. Stop playing dress up and get your hands dirty!I'll call you in ten more years when I think I'm getting the hang of it. ......enough typing for now..... maybe more updates/pix soon, maybe not, if I'm in the garage.
