Hope to hear from you.

Tank...Done

Got the tank done on the XS650. Came out nice. We went with a satin type finish...kinda like it was brushed.
Wish it wasn't so crummy outside so I could get some better pics...she's going home tomorrow.

Aluminum Tank

Doing an aluminum tank to copy an old fiberglass one that keeps leaking. The customer wants it polished. It's coming along nicely. This tank is going on a cafe'd XS650.

Bikes on Meridian

Got to ride the bike to its first debut show. The Bikes on Meridian night was awesome. I have never seen so many bikes in one place before. There were bikes of all types, makes, models. Amazing.
Got to park with two customers...the Wilkinson Bros. It was really cool seeing all the interest in our bikes.

The Urban Weapon

So I have the Cb550 Urban Weapon 99.9% finished. I've gotten to put quite a few miles on her...and she handles like a dream, sounds great, and is really smooth. She gets lots of looks everywhere she goes. This winter I will be doing some minor cosmetic work to her...engine polish, powder the frame, possibly a harley rear wheel...

Project progress

Good progress has been made. Got the tank nearly done!














So this is where I'm at so far. I have the tail section nearly done. Really all that's left is to do some finish work. I just frenched in some turn signals today and think they look pretty nice.

New shop project

I sold the Black and Blue Bobber and picked up a '76 CB550 as a new project.
I've always wanted a cafe racer, so this will be the platform to fulfill that.
I've since torn it all down to the frame and am awaiting some bits to get going on the modifications. More to come...





So this is where I'm at so far. I have the new rear frame on, and the mono shock work done. I also got the new front end mounted. The tank on the bike isn't what I'm going to use, it's just there for some reference.
I did add a slight kick up in the rear of the frame.
Overall I think this is coming along very nicely.

The rendered pic is my idea of a finished product. It was done by the Wilkinson Bros. Sure helps my vision along.
