Pat's Shovelhead Chopper

Here are some pics of Pat's bike. He liked the orange bike I built, so were using some of the same style cues. Planning to have it finished up for the Born Free show. 

Random Shop Happenings

                                           


My Blogger pictures haven't been working with my computer system. I thought this internet thing was a fad anyways so I have been working in the shop and ignoring it. Here is a sampler of what I've been up to.

Candy Apple Red Metalflake Chopper

Finally finished this up and put some miles on it last night. Might flake or chrome the rear leg of the old springer. No hurry to take anything apart. Just want to ride it.

Triumph Overhaul

Did a few miles on this one today. Built it a few years ago. Came back for complete teardown for powder coat and detail. Rewired it with some cloth wires. New pistons and valves keep it from killing the mosquitos. Looks pretty good, and a good mannered machine.

New Years Day Shovelhead

The year is off to a good start. Started the assembly of my bike. The front end still needs some finishing up before painting. Be riding this one soon.

Flakey Paint and Candy Fades

Put down the base flake and fades today for my bike. Many coats of clear still needed to bury the flake. I like how it's shaping up.

Who is that goof ball on that old Shovelhead? It's a picture of me at the Haifley Brothers ride. Check out more pics here. Haifley Blog

Close to final tear down

Been trying to get this ready for final tear down and make the paint happen. Still a few things I want to do, but I really want to ride this thing. So close.

Harley Flywheel Fixture

Just added these to the website. Helps ease the assembly of vintage Harley flywheels. Check them out here. www.infernalcombustiondesign.com

Generator Shovel Revised

It will be good to have my bike back, after selling the orange bike out from under it. This is the new chassis for my generator shovel, just starting to look like something. Was thinking of running a mini disk. But after seeing it rolling, I think an old springer drum is in order.
