CNC Machined Triumph Triple
Published on 2012-01-11 15:50:56
We just CNC machined and sent out one of the Triumph triple clamps we make for the new model Triumph's. After it was machined from 6061 billet aluminum we tumbled it for a soft finish before getting it black anodized like the client requested. Sorry for the mediocre photo's but our professional photographer must have had the week off. > read more
CNC Machined Perfection
Published on 2011-12-05 13:00:33
Like it or not most motorcycles manufactured in this day and time have all sorts of modern conveniences like anti-lock brakes (ABS), belt drives and fuel injection. While these items improve reliability and safety they make customization something that has to be planned, sometimes extensively. One of the most extensive modifications that can be done is replacing your factory gas tank that has an internal fuel injection pump with a custom built alloy, or aluminum, tank. Not only does the new t [..] > read more
Greetings from Brazil
Published on 2011-11-16 09:04:32
Several months ago I received an email from Leonardo Cabrini from Belo Horizonte, Brazil asking about our fender eliminator kit for the BMW S1000RR. Leo had several questions about the wiring and the use of our LED plate eluminator and wanted to know if we could ship out of the country. As you can see from the pictures below they answer the questions he had and to quote Leo... Dear Matt, hope you are well. See attached the fender after installed. Very nice!

Potvin Blower
Published on 2011-08-18 10:17:49
I just listed the coolest vintage speed part I have ever had the pleasure of owning on eBay. My plans were to put the Potvin to good use but I am unable to see when I will have the opportunity to do so. Instead of hoarding the mother of all speed parts from the genius Chuck Potvin, I have decided to give someone else the opportunity. Easy come, easy go, no regrets, live long and prosper..... I keep repeating these in my head in order to convince myself that I am doing the right thing. [..] > read more
Yamaha SR Brat
Published on 2011-07-25 23:04:26
The SR project is coming along nicely and heading for the home stretch. We got the seat pan made, mounted and cushioned, the rear fender finally secured and the taillight mounted atop the custom license plate mount we made.

John Nunn's Steen Skybolt
Published on 2011-07-09 08:21:51
We went out to Georgetown airport a couple of weekends ago to work on John Nunn's biplane, a Steen Skybolt. John has done all of the work himself, an amazing feat, with the exception of the aluminum shaped pieces on the fuselage. He had attempted to do these pieces himself but without an English Wheel and a shrinker they are almost impossible to make. We met John at his hangar and spent a few hours getting the pieces he needed done made. The Skybolt is heading off to the powdercoater [..] > read more
