Have you tried this?

Spent the weekend stripping the frame and the engine cases with Citristrip. All natural and safe for the environment, but don’t get in your mouth, taste like shit! I am impressed on how easy it is to use this stuff

                 

                                       

A few more hours and then paint.

Thanks Joker Machine!

I am giving both bikes a little facelift before Japan and needed a few Joker Machine parts to complete the look. I was lucky enough to get some of their parts when I built the Pink Taco  and now I am replacing certain things on Funkenstein.

I just added the mirrors to the Pink Taco. Easy to install and overall great look. If you are need of Made in America, top -quality parts, please check out Joker Machine. Bryan and his staff will make sure you receive excellent service and their turn around is real quick.

                                                                                    

Up next,  paint removal on Funkenstein’s  frame and engine so I can send it off to powercoat.

I would like to thank Bryan and Joker Machine staff  for their help with these two builds!

Breaking down Funkenstein

I have started the process of breaking down Funkenstein for a  complete over haul before Japan. This is consisting of getting the chip  fixed on the tank, getting the frame power coated and putting on the new improved exhaust.  Awhile back I dropped the gas cap and and took a small chunk out of the tank. Well Courtney came by to help me with the tear down process and check out the new exhaust. I am really liking the fit.

                  

We found this when we removed the gas tank,

Yup, that would be one cracked frame! Big thanks to Courtney, who calls out to his friends and within a 1/2 hour, I have someone that will be fixing the crack.  As you can see, it has been cracked for awhile

                      

Now the pressure is on to get it completed before the shipping deadline.

Big Thanks to Dan and Tiffany………..

…for having the Pink Taco in the builders display at the Old Gold Garage Open House. It was a huge honor to be surrounded by such stellar builds.

               

                                     Don’t think these two ever stopped for a minute!

                                             Lisa wants to trade the Taco for the car                                        Tiffany and I, leathercrafters unite!

They love the Taco!

 

What a great show!

Lisa and I headed down to the Ventura Nationals with Kutty, Jamie and Justin for a weekend of fun.  We had an absolute ball!

 

                             We were all stoked for our Little Jenny, ruler!

                             It was great to see Gilby walking around again!

                   Trish and Doni , owners of  Throttle Gals Magazine . Trish is a very close friend of ours and we would like to wish the both of them sweet sucess!

                  

It is amazing how the Pink Taco has becomes the ladies favorite but also make every man smile.

Thanks for your ongoing support! See you at the next event.
