Hound Dog
The first of our stock-build bikes, Deane Rubright has christened his bobber "Hound Dog." The 200 rigid, stock spec'd with an 80" HD crate motor retails for $14,995. Deane decided to tweak up the specs from stock with a passenger seat, sissy bar, a handful of other minor embellishments...and a 113" engine.

The 300 bike has officially been dubbed Roadkill. I have a 300 RSD, drop seat, curved backbone, curved single down tube frame, 6-up, 3-out with a 47° neck and 7° trees for a total of 54 degrees of rake with a 16-over front end.

 

Chris Kane's 250 drop seat soft tail
Chris has been quietly collecting his parts and assembling this one at home. We brought it in to finish the last of the welding and mount fabricating and then it's off to paint. This should give those of you wanting to do it yourself some hope. Chris has done this mostly at home in a shop with few metal fab tools. So with a little help from your friends it can be done...and we can supply all the parts you need.

93" Shovelhead
A brief description: This is an abandoned project I recently purchased. A 93" shovelhead and frame that have been waiting to get used since 2000. Keep your eye out for this one. It is the start of a bobber that will be built as a shop bike with an old school flavor. Stay tuned!

 

Dickhead
A single down tube 6" up 3" out Killer Chopper Softail® frame with 250 rear. The straight-up tank is new from Independent and I thought it would work well for this bike. Fenders are again from Wernimont. The rear will be mounted in the swingarm down real tight and both cut in-house to give them a truly unique flair. Now with a fresh paint scheme.

One Sick Mother
Photos in this gallery show the bike I call One Sick Mother. It was so named because that's what everyone called me when I told them I was going to open another business building custom motorcycles or I was going to cut up a $600.00 rear fender or I was going to do any number of other things.

Wonder what they think now?
