Counter Balance Cycles 650cc Floor Lamp

I work as an industrial designer during the day, and do most of this stuff in my spare time.  Ive always been interested in building furniture, so I decided to recycle a bunch of motorcycle parts.  More in the works.

Photos of the shop.

Did some upgrading in the shop this weekend.  Documented here:

2014 Pandemonium Choppers Xs 650 Build Off (Part 7)

Well I got my tube bender the other day and decided to make a set of bars.  I fitted them so that they would bolt into any yamaha xs 650 triple tree.  Kind of like a pull back rabbit ear style handlebars.  I like them for now, well see how long i keep them on there.

New Counter Balance Gateway Handlebars For Sale

Check em out in the store.  Some handlebars that are as narrow as the stock xs risers can fit.  Slight pull back.  Tig welded mild steel 7" high and 7/8" in diameter.

Xs 650 Calender!

Got this in the mail the other day.  Thanks to anyone who voted to have this build in the calender.  Im stoked!

Bmw Cafe

Got a few hours into making this rear tail section for this BMW cafe bike.  Ive been staring at parts and pieces of metal to make a custom tail.  Cut up and old gas tank, and hand hammered the halves to fit.  Have to patch the rear, and mount a bmw emblem.  Then i want to see if the battery will fit inside the tail itself.  Few more hours hammering and finishing and it will be time to cut the rear section.

Here is roughly how the tail will sit.  Still need to make a new seat pan and do some more fitting.
