Alky-Holic

This summer I changed the mini rig over to Alcohol in hopes to gain a few more pony's.  It's a blue printed Tillotson from AGK.  It makes the motor sound really cool at idle, but it's a pain to ride at low rpm. Smells cool though! 



H-Town Shaker Is Finished!!

I've been slackin on posts lately, but I've finally finished the H-Town Shaker to show for it!  I've had it done for a few weeks now and done a little ridin with friends, had a few small demons to work out, but rides really well.

H-Town Shaker Update




2" stainless, 2 into 1, 2" to 4" megaphone.  Can you hear me now!
 
Diamond pattern seat.  Not super happy with this, but it'll do for now

Oops!  The notch in the battery box for the chain no longer lined up.  Cut it out and made these filler pieces out of stainless. I actually like it better this way.

The Boss's Bike

My boss sent me this pic of his super cool 1928 Harley Model 28B and behind it is his dad's 1931 Peugeot.  Both of these bikes are in his home country of Belgium, but hopefully someday he will ship it over here, I'd like to check it out.

H-Town Shaker Update

Finally got all my tins back from paint and lettering this week.  Still have the exhaust to build, wire and plumb, and few more odds and ends.  I can finally see light at the end of the tunnel! The paint, stripes and, body work was done by Brandon Armstrong 513-317-4413, he did a killer job, and the gold leaf lettering was done by Josh Shaw of Shaw Hot Rods, 513-257-5121, shawhotrods.com.  They both nailed the look I wanted!

Hard to get a good pic with the limited space of my garage
