Trailer is loaded an we will be headin east on I80 in a little over 24 hours.  Y22 is our vendin spot come see us.  You don't want to miss this event.  It's an absolute gas.

Well the Pre Sturgis Riot went well.  Milwaukee Mike and his crew Dan, Gina, and Beth rolled in around 9:30 and we all hung out.  Jerry and the boys from the club brought up a bunch.  I sappose the was probably a total of 60 people that attended.  All in all it was a good time.  Mike and his bunch stayed over at the shop and shipped off around 10:00 or so on sat headed west to Sturgis.  Next year we will try to be a little more organized and promote the party a little better.  Thanx to all that came and all that helped me get ready, especially Land Shark.  Hope to see you all next year.

The Chop Shop Pre Sturgis Riot

So I have decided to throw a bash for anyone who is rolling through on their way to Sturgis this year.  This will be a good oppertunity to meet some new folks and for them to see what we do here at the shop.  There should be a good local croud that show up with some pretty cool rides.  The may even be a few motorcycle legends that show up.  Stop in, hang out, drink some beers, and talk motorcycles.  Hope to see you all there.  This invitation is extended to all, so lets see what we can make of it.  Who knows it could be a yearly event.  If you have questions call Harley at 712-223-2833.  Thanx.

Daves Triumph named "Jan"

We built this cool little 67 Triumph bobber a couple months ago for "Diamond" Dave the paint genius.  This thing is super clean and has alot of cool little details.  We finished the bike in time to take it to Vintage Torque Fest in eastern IA.  Curt Lout shot the bike for Street Chopper Magazine at that event.

 Tank bracket tacked up

 We had to narrow the fender a bit to fit the tyre right

 I spun some alum spacers to fit the spool front to the DNA

 Here is the initial mock up

 we spaced the risers up a little

 fender struts and tag bracket in place

 positioning of the tag bracket

 here is a close up of the mounting brackets

Here is the finished product after chrome all wired up and ready
I will be doing a Jan #2 post so you can see the finished product.
