Fonda's Finest -

For Pops and Dougie...


I'm curious if Fonda ever looks back on this and wonders what his dealer was REALLY giving him?

Fast-forward 45 years... Spring's on the way.

We're gonna get loaded.

Yarrrr

Surrender the booty...

Old Bull - Young Bull

Taking my time undressing her, still trying to figure out a concrete plan to go forward with. Have a lot of ideas, but like always, I'm back and forth on most of them. From the miles I've put on this bike, I've learned a lot about what it could use. All I know is, it looks good in my head and it's gonna be a pavement pounder this coming summer - trippin' all over the USA and possibly the Baja and/or Canada - there's really not enough time in the summer for all of the trips I wanna take this coming season.



Goodbye torn up bird-shooters... man I loved these pipes.

Cat and Mouse -

This video gives me the itch to rip a throttle through heavy traffic. Every time the cop gets close to this guy, he hauls off and leaves the cop playing catch-up. The vid is a little long, but around 1:30 and 2:10, it's more like - now you see me, now you don't. Don't try this at home, a highway would work much better...


I don't condone putting people or other motorists in harms way, but without a road-block or ghetto bird, this cop has got no chance...

Pre New Year Bender

This is the fender and sissy bar Rich and I set up on a '99 soft-tail that we hard-tailed. We used a V-Twin 200 series Shovelhead hard-tail on it because the guy wanted to run a 180/55-18 rear tire and a 1 1/2" belt final drive. After knowing the frame was squared up, the customer figured we might as well mount up the fender and bend him a nice looking bar as well...

Extra bend to get around the pulley

Irish Rich

1/2 inch cold-rolled, 1/4 inch mounting plates, and 3/4 inch bungs

Nice little bend at the top, sitting about 14 inches off of the fender.

More frames in the background, waiting for the same treatment

Straight up, sits nice and flat


It may look easy, but it's a lot of tedious steps to make a nice sissy bar - one that looks good and is strong enough to tear down the highway, mile after vibrating mile, with gear or an ol' lady resting against it.

We're working on a '05 Twin Cam B-motor frame now and have frames coming in pretty regularly - with Led Sled, V-Twin and Fab Kevin hard-tail sections being used. We've done quite a few of these the past 6 months and can get it done in a pretty damn timely manner, with every detail taken into account - slugs, clean welds, gussets, accurate measurements, etc...

Strong and straight. Fun stuff-
