The virago build is off the lift... and some tat work!

Got the Lithium battery in the mail and did some final touches to the build.
Pulled it off the rack and you know we had to take it for a ride!

Deuce bringing her out into the sunshine.

And down the road she goes, the front wheel is so large that it takes some getting used to.





Phil with the zero fucks given.

Successful test ride and now Deuce is slinging some ink on Phil.

We are a multi faceted shop, not only can we build bikes but Deuce does some badass tat work.

Chris ran a couple lines but mostly just drank beer and bullshitted with us.

Chris's progress

Chris finished up his one off air cleaner.
Good crowd on Friday night! 

Deuce sandblasted Chris's intake and a battery box for powdercoat.

Chris doing what Chris does, you get a couple of beers in him and his productivity definitely goes down.

Some faux chrome powder.


and 20 minutes later this si the result, that faux chrome powder looks pretty damn good!

Phil's B-Day ride

V
It appeared we were headed out on a Father daughter dance. Chris had his daughter Haven and Phil had his number one lady Hailey.
75 &  95, It is interesting to see how close these two are with over two decades in difference.
Greg and Eidee hosted a great day. Full spread and even made a cake,...not that Fat Phil needed any cake.
Good friends and fire

Triumph tear down

The Triumph is tore all the way down and Deuce pulled the motor.




The last ride on this nasty chop until it finds a new home or we decide to do something with it.

Phil pressure washing the motor, it cleaned up pretty well.

A shot of Marvel for Phil and one for each cylinder!

Picked up the new donor frame.  Nice oil in frame Triumph hardtail that Deuce wants to turn into a dropseat chop, It should be interesting.

Now we have a Triumph boneyard in front of the shop.

Chris's rear fender work

Chris decided to fab a rear fender out of a portion of the Virago tank, he was going for a cafe kind of look.
Chris fitting it while Deuce does his thing.

Chris got the fender stitch welded to the rear hoop and started forming the rear.
