Made the Church of Choppers blog again!

If you look reaaaaaal close haha. Ben is right behind me, you can see his dual discs. Too bad Jeff Wright is blocking the view of my Sportster! Just kidding Jeff...

The photo above taken by Jeff had to be a split second before or after this one below. The dude with the fro must have be staring at something really neat on the ground....

I Got Some New Wheels!

It happened so fast. One day my old Sportster is getting towed away, a few days later I come home with this. A 1973 FL, mostly stock, runs great, very low miles and has some upgraded goodies. Big thanks to Norm for hooking me up with this bike.

I know the bike I want to build out of it, but for now, for this season, its most likely going to stay the way it is. It runs and rides wayyy to good to start messing with it. It also has some cool local history and I'll post more on that later.

Its funny how things work out with stuff like this. If I were to sell my Sportster, this is the bike I would have wanted to find, and it found me instead....

I couldn't leave it alone though, I had to take the windshield off because I sit too low with the frame seat and the bags came off for a good cleaning. I see pogo seat with the old style fender mounted bags in it's future...

Hey, it matches my lunchbox nicely!

I may start calling this bike the "Solo Cup"

Thanks A Million Jody!

It means a lot man, thanks so much. 

Nick's New Narrowed Fork Tins

Over the winter Benny was working on a set of triple tree tins and extended cowbells for Nick and his narrowed 41mm trees. Nick wanted the old style tins but narrowed. The length for the cowbells are not available from any catalog so they too had to be custom made. Benny really did a bang up job and we cant wait to see Nick's bike finally done. Keep wrenching Nick!!! We want to see it at Ride To Skate coming up!!!

 The cowbell mounts were extracted from a stock set and were later welded back into the new extended set.

Benny setting up the drill press to drill and tap the side mounts he added.

 After a fair amount of welding and lots of polishing it looks awesome.

 The cowbells were slip rolled from a sheet of stainless and welded up. And yes the ARE tapered!

 Ben also had to make a top tree cover. Also from a flat sheet of stainless carefully cut out by hand, welded, and smoothed over.

 Nick and Brady came up from PA to pick up his new tins. Also Gregg's slab side got a face lift over the winter.

Nick is so happy and couldn't hold still for a picture.

RetroFit seal of approval!

More Voodoo Child Progress!

Its been an insane past few weeks. I'm on my two feet again and my foot is pretty much healed up. Thanks for all the emails and notes guys! Had a film festival to attend in Brooklyn. I picked up a new bike already (more on that later.) And my dad, ben and myself are trying to get back on track for the Strange Days build.

We finally have the battery box/coil mounts made. It was pretty easy getting everything to mount in the swing arm because of the 4" extension. It was just a matter of making some clean mounts. 

 Ben and my dad got the fork stops figured out for the springer.

 Seat pan mounts and tank mounts are complete.

Its all taken apart now for some mud work on the frame to smooth her back out to her '70s glory. We should be ready for paint and chrome in a few weeks!
