Fork leg shaved for Harpers Charper

We shaved just the fender mounts, and polished the rest.

Last nights debauchery

Finished the fab on Harper's Charper.

Long bike Matt stopped by and I sent this picture of one of his many comical tattoos to my dad   (Herb).  He loved it!

Brad stopped by for a quick beer and on his way out, Francesco showed up with his motor for the VL project.  Brad helped us get it in and mostly went well. 

Mid pipe mod complete on Harper's Charper

Made his ugly pipes cool. This picture doesn't show it but I made a pretty cool exhaust hanger for it too.  I just need to disassemble the rear end, mark, drill and trim the fender, finish weld everything and metal finish shit where it needs it.  Hopefully I will have it done tonight. 

Oh,  if you don't already know, "Brad & Ry" are invited to build a bike for BF6. 

There was some confusion on how to list Brad and I, so its just going to be weird until we come up with a cool business venture name or agreement that we can co-own and not argue about who did or does and just turn it into "we do" without damaging either one of our hard earned ego's.   I consider this invite to be of the highest honor and I'm pretty confident that Brad and I are not going to disappoint.

And yes, Jesse James is on the list too.   I know there is some disagreements about that, I for one, think Jesse is a super talented fabricator and I am curious to see what he can bring to the table.  If he brings billet clad fat tire TV douche-bagery with him, his undoing will be his own fault.  I for one welcome his talent and will give him a chance to earn his bike builder honor back.

Last night

Finished the tack up on Mitch's chopper fender mount and sissy. 

I have to do some cutting and sewing on the pipes then I will tear off the tire, weld and metal finish everything. 

Francesco brought his VL project by and we played around with different fender ideas and such.  I have a little bit of fab to do on his frame and a couple small bits to modify. 

Chopper, tank and fender install

Sissy bar is next ,  then its on to modifying the pipes. 

On Deck

Mitch brought his chopper project by for some fabrication love.  A little pipe modification, sissy bar construction, fender mount and tank mount action.
