Leather Solo Seats Now in the Shop!

I got my first black leather solo seat made and listed up in the shop.  These are designed to fit standard solo seat hinges and solo seat springs.  This seat could also be mounted in your custom application.

The Vanterior!

I decided to use up some extra vinyl and try my hand at sewing an interior for the van.  Its going to be alot of work, but it should turn out sweet.  First up is the headliner.  Got a rough idea of what i want to do with them so i got started last night.

Brooklyn Invitational (2)

Brooklyn Invitational (1)

Got back from the brooklyn invitational sunday.  It was awesome.  Tons of bikes, cool people, and beer.  Slept in an abandoned lot across from the dice party friday night.  Saw tons of bikes on saturday.  Almost slept in the park saturday night, but met a dude that had roof space and was willing to let 3 savage smelling dudes sleep there...

Checking out of our hotel for the night...

Brooklyn Invitational 2015

Its that time of year again.  Gonna ride down to NYC tomorrow and check out some parties... then checking out some sick bikes at the Brooklyn Invitational 2015...

Custom Sportster Solo Seat and P-Pad

A customer sent me his solo seat pan with foam already on it, so i covered it in black vinyl with gray stitching.  He also wanted a matching p-pad, so i took the p-pad that i made for the shovelhead and modified it to be a little more comfortable.  I think they came out great!

Sportster Forty Eight EFI to Carb Conversion

I had some trouble with the forty eight a year and a half ago, ended up having to rewire the bike to stock on the side of the road after my fuel computer failed.  I decided to swap to a carb.  I got an s&s intake manifold and mounted a Mikuni VM38 carb.  I had a throttle cable and throttle grip in the garage already and used those.  

For the Ignition I reached out to Altman Micro Machines in Germany.  They make an electronic ignition module that uses your crank angle sensor and the wires from the coil to run the ignition.  There are settings for advance base setting, advance rise curve, and rev limit.  There are literally 6 wires that you need to keep from the main harness.  Then there are a ground and ignition + and you are ready to start the bike.  I ended up just gutting the harness and starting from scratch.  But the amount of wires removed was awesome.  

I had a tank with a ridge in the center that was being swapped onto various bikes.  I welded on some bungs to mount the tank, now i just need to lower the rear mount a bit so that it flows a little better... 

I still need to make an ignition coil mount, and make a battery tray, but other than those two it should be ready to ride.... I will be swapping out the stock oil tank for something else soon, and there is a seat in mind..... Still have to figure that out...
