I don't know how many of you reading this have ever wondered how many sets of big twin cases can fit on a handy lift? The answer is ten sets. I have been prepping these things all week, and they are ready to be hermetically sealed until final assembly. They are a sight for sore eyes. Time to move onto the next ten...


WOW! This is a beautiful thing.



This is what the case looks like after being bead blasted with semi clean beads




Here is the same 48 case after being blasted with brand new super clean beads. The difference is night and day, unfortunately it is difficult to photograph the difference.

HEre is a picture of Ryan's gas tanks for his 45. The paint turned out bitchin on this project I am looking forward to helping him finish the bike up this summer

I have been putting studs in cases and cleaning cases for the last couple of days. I figured you guys would enjoy seeing pics of florida bikes rather than installing cylinder base studs lol.


Here is a bike that Nichole and Paul are building together. It is a great looking bike built by great people!



HEre is a pic of Mike and Margaret Wilson They are a cute couple and I consider myself fortunate to call them my friends.

45 fl pics for mr. Graff


Here is a pic of my 45 fl. I started piecing this bike together when I was 12 and finished it when I was 18. I traded it for my 36 in pieces and started all over again. This bike holds a special place in my heart!

Man o man. This is a thing of beauty!


This is one of my favorite views of a bike There is so much neat stuff going on under the seat.

HELP I need your input!


I have been hanging out in the shop all day and just checking out all of the boxes that came in while I was gone. We got the top end back for the bobber that we are building. The nickel plating turned out great, this is going to be a great looking motor! Which style of cam cover do you guys think looks better, the late 40 to 47 or the...


36 to 39 cover? I have already made up my mind, but I though that it would be neat to get your guys input and see what you thought. So please take five minutes and comment away.

florida bikes


Here is my friend Ryan's 50 fl. We had to pull the rear head off and get the exhaust port welded up. It had a big chunk missing out of it. This bike is really nice and it was fun to work on it in daytona,


Mike and Margret stopped by the amca trailer. I got a picture of them on my 46. They are a cut couple that have been together for 67 years. I love seeing them, they are very inspirational people.



This is a bike that my friend ken built. This was the coolest new bike that I saw all week!




This was the neatest chopper that I saw. Some good ole boy who runs a shop down south traded a new custom for this 70s survivor. This bike blew my mind! I think it was a sixty eight.





Here is a bike that was built by papa clucth this was a very clean shovel head.



florida riding pics


I just got back from florida. It was a great time, but I am happy to be home. This was the view from where I was staying.

This pic was taken yesterday morning. I forget what road we were on, but there were a lot of pretty trees on each side. In some areas the trees were really big and grown together. It was like we were riding through a tunnel of foliage!

Here is the ocean!

And a picture of my ear.

grease zerc scale action


I shipped an order for 500 grease zercs today. My daddy and I made up our own grease zercs six years ago because we didn't like the ones on the market. They are really nice and look just like the grease zercs that were used from 1938 to 1953ish, (the ball is not visible) Anyways the minimum order was 12 or 15 thousand, so needless to say I will have grease zercs for the rest of my life!
