all blown up

This is a 1950 80ci indian chief "Bonneville" engine that broke a rod and a few other parts. The customer requested the original parts saved. So the cases will be welded and the cylinders resleeved. There is no saving the rods though!

Got a great set of vintage yamaha td/tz brakes from yoshi's. These are gonna end up on the 750 norton project..

 Instead of using the same old round oiltank, I fabbed up this piece. Will post more pics with filler and fittings installed.

motor shop frames

some things will always be cool.

engine season is here!

I'm a little behind on my rebuilds, but when the snow fly's the engine's appear.

before the gasbox

Before I opened the gasbox we were building bikes in Gregs 2 car garage. All this came to end when I tried to get a 400 amp welder wired up and realized we were only operating on a hundred year old single piece of knob and tube wire. Anyway this is the last bike we built in the garage, Chucks 1975 shovelhead with handmade everything... Too bad we didnt keep that AMF paint job.

76 sporty project

Heres some close up shots of the dropouts I fabbed up for the hardtailed stock frame. The license plate and grimes light mount, and some simple struts for one of my 18" spun fenders.

what the????

This is a 1931 new hudson 500cc motorcycle from england. I have this customer that loves to get on ebay around midnight after a long day of cocktails and bid on a dozen different projects. I consider this the wheel of jeopardy of motorcycles.. So know I have to determine what to do with this fine gem?? If there is any new hudson lovers out there let me know, cause I got parts!!!

too busy to blog

This is my current project that i am trying to finish for new years. 1976 sportster with a repop Vl springer.

nortons!!!

I've just recently started two norton projects, a 1950 dominator and a 1971 comando. I am going to be grafting the cradle from a 1950 norton dominator frame into an early ES2 frame and running the dominator engine and trans with a bsa y-13 girder. Should come together pretty nice. The commando doesnt exactly have a direction yet, anyway this is me before goin for a cruise yesterday.

carey's engine is finally all done.

This is my 67 bsa spitfire, i saved from the chopper that it once was. When i picked it up it had a 10 over springer, chrome wassell tank, gross seat, amazing sissy bar, and a spool 16" front wheel.

k model!

This thing showed up the other day for some fabrication, but the engine is definitely righteous. Ill put up more pics when shes all welded up.

stroker shovel

more shots of gregs shovel. 86ci shovelhead, fresh trans, hardtailed stock frame, 18" starhub juice drum rear, aluminum 21" sportster drum front, 35mm forks.

ready to fire

i got the 41 motor back in the chassis and ready to fire

This is gregs 49 pan, its been on the road for over a year now. I just figured id throw it up here since it is the first bike that i built out of the gasbox. (the first pic is courtesy of jeff cochran and cycle source mag)

photoshoot

rusty gold

just scored a great old knuckle hot rod project. 47 big port heads, panhead cylinders, 39 cases, 80ci flatty flywheels. the rest of the bike had 50's pan chopper parts, so that stuff will end up on another project. the engines future is in a vl frame i've had for awhile.......maybe next year she'll be runnin.
