I think he likes it………….

I made the seat for the Kennedy High School Chopper Class and it looks like a great fit. This is the Sugar Bear chopper that the kids nailed and it was showed at the Donnie Smith Bike Show! Teach is doing it right for the kids and I wish him well.

I got mail

Big thanks to Cindy a.k.a the Fashion Serial Killer. She found me this sweet iron-on, Hondas rule and she knows it. Thanks hun.

This seat pan absolutely rules

Rick Fairless from Strokers Dallas is a genius! Lisa just wants to hang this pan on the wall but I think he might get upset

How does the crew prepare for the Long Beach Swap Meet?

We all got dirty tightening down the Eternal Combustion van. Craze worked on some hose issues and Mike and I dealt with the u-joints on the driveshaft.



Not very nice Michael!

The day was capped off by sharing some Girl Scout Cookies, real men doing real work! Lisa on the other hand , did nothin! She refuses to get her hands dirty

There is tight…………..

…………….then there is “ Duane tight” as Lisa calls it.

The Pink Taco build

I have been asked to show some of the build up for the Pink Taco. Mostly everything was fabricated in my little garage with the help of Courtney, McGoo, Alex and Renato. We did go to a few shops to fab the gas tank, battery case and the wiring box. Long nights were spent on the motorcycle seeing that we all have full time day jobs. I have very few tools in my garage but we made the most of everything I had.

Kutty and I had the challenge laid out, let’s create the same bike that graced the cover of Street Chopper in the 70”s, but put our spin on each of the builds.  It was awesome to do this with Kutty and we are both pleased with the outcome. I know most people categorize me as the leather guy but I really like building bikes too. I already have another build in mind but have to help Wayne finish his first. Now that ours have graced the cover of street Chopper-thanks Jeff- I can show the mock up. So I will try to keep the pictures coming , thanks for the interest!

First off…………..You only go to one guy for custom frames. Freddy Hernandez  is a absolute ruler!

 

Thought I had a picture of just the frame but I must of been too damn excited and began fabricating with Alex. 

I already have the fender, tank bottom, and the cage that is inside the gas tank welded on at this point. It also has the sissy bar than ended up being scrapped in favor of the drilled struts.   Be sure to check back.

House of Kolor Booth

It was great to see the House of Kolor booth at Blackie’s show. I found the new color for the 76 Gold Wing Arturo gave to me. Yes I said gave, I have been looking for one for awhile, trying to give Lisa some sort of comfort on long rides.

 

I am leaving it stock with a few minor changes. The seat and bags are on the list and new paint.

Thanks Arturo, you are the man!
