Yamaha YZ 80 Project

Dug this old 70s (?) yz 80 out of the corner of the shop today.  Think i finally found someone that can revive this old engine for me!  Cant wait to dig in and restore this thing!!

 

TT500 Custom Cafe Seat Build

    Finished up this cafe style seat for Daniel a couple weeks ago.  Ive done quite a few seats for his projects and this bike looks fun as hell!!  

Fresh Stock!

 Got a bunch of new seats added to the shop!  A couple of XS 650 seats, and a dirt tracker seat!  Check them out!

Im Back Baby!

     Ive been spending most of my time the past couple years posting and showcasing work on Instagram.  Due to the toxic nature and state of the platform I am planning on shifting most of my content to this blog.  Instagram's algorithm, and the fact that you have to pay to get people to see your posts has led me to conclude that the platform is dead.  Since I was last posting about my race bike, here are a couple photos of the state that its in now.

Cheers!

Shop Race Bike

Got my tank today...  Petcock wont work with my setup, but i can figure that out... Cut the rear hoop off the frame and cut the middle top crossmember out and welded in a simple tube...

Got a little bit more cleaned up, but tons more to do!

Got the rear tire in today.  I was worried because i ordered one of the widest they have.  I thought i was going to have to shave the tire to fit it inside the swingarm.  Looks like i got plenty of room!

Thinking i might get this thing finished up at least as a race bike.  There is an ice hill climb in NJ this month that would be awesome to rip this thing up..

Finished this xs 650 seat wrapped in Relicate Leather this morning.  If you are interested in a color that I dont offer in my shop feel free to ask!

Finished up this custom leather trucker wallet this morning for a customer.  Turned out really nice!

Welded some mounts to my fake oil tank the other day.  This should be big enough for the electronics ill need to run on this yamaha.

xt 500

Had a few minutes to spare today, so i ditched the stock headlight on the xt500 and put something aftermarket on it.  Now just to figure out what to do with the charging system...
