Den Hansem


Dennys been working away at the shop all week, his CB is starting to come together. He mounted his headlight/taillight threw some pod filters on  and got the struts bolted on. I gave him a hand building a seat and we got everything mocked up the other night.

G&S Custom Paint


Hitched a ride with Denny up the coast to visit the family last weekend. I tried out some paint ideas on my tank with my old man giving me some pointers, it was my first serious attempt with the airbrush. I think it turned out pretty good but I'm going back to the drawing board and gonna try out some other ideas. I wish I was'nt so picky my bike would be done ages ago!

ALIEN ALIEN ALIEN ALIEN
Got my frame powdercoated, engine back in, trying to tie up all the odds and ends. Need to decide on a tank, the old wassell or the alien tank? A front wheel would be nice too!

Maybe this old news and I'm the last to know, but I picked up a copy of Frank Herzogs photography book at the store the other day and was amazed by all the shots of old Vancouver starting in the late 50's and continuing till now, definitely worth checking out

Mikes Shovel


 
Mikes got his bike almost together, helped him weld a few things last night. The guys over at Heathen did a nice job on the fab work and made him this cool little sporty tank, starting to come together.

Two's better than one?

                                                           Threes a crowd???
                          Sechelt on the 6th, Powell River/Texada 7th-8th, sound like a plan?

 Chad dropped his xs off last week so I could make him a set of pipes up, pretty straightforward with mini upsweeps on the ends. I'm smart and forgot to take a pic when they were all tightenend up. P.S I'm a welder by tade so if you need a bridge built or you battleship repaired dont be shy

Slow and Steady

Winters on its last legs and spring is coming up fast, I still got lots to do but I'm hoping to be done in the next couple months and have a bike again. Been trying to spend some more time in the shop and move things a little further along.
Pipes are all welded up, tacked some turnouts on the end, not sure if I'm liking them though
Made a pair of stacks outta some exhaust tips, I need to figure out some sort of filter still
