Here is a tool I made for Damon Conkright out in California for pressing bearings and seals in together at one time. You can use it on an arbor press. Pretty bitchen!

New Old Stock Shoei 3/4 Shell Helmet
Check out this new old stock Shoei vintage 3/4 shell 70 model helmet! I scored it on ebay thanks to Foursixteen for 35$. Sent it to Hellmutts for a custom liner after Xtreme Kolors threw down some paint! Super stoked on both of their work!
Tail Lights
So I machined up a variation of tail lights. I made 5 different styles. The final design might be altered a bit but this is the first run. They will look good on any chopper or bobber. I have em on my Sportster. Hell even look good on cafe bikes and scooters! Ill be creating different styles to give people a selection. I dig em, there are a lot of people creating tail lights out there. But I have changed up some minor details.
Custom 883 pipes
Pretty stoked how these came out! It’s the first set of pipes I made for a buddy of mine. They will be painted and wrapped, unless he wants to keep em looking colorful! These pipes are for running mid controls. They are for a 883 sportster. I have to put the o2 bungs in next which is a breeze. But I had to take a test ride on em first!
Hardinge HLV Lathe!!!
Dude I’m so pumped! I got my first lathe! It’s a Hardinge HLV tool room lathe that is perfect for all my Lil needs. It was highly recommended by a couple of machinist I know. Ever since I got around bike shops that were turning down heads and cylinders I was hooked. I don’t want to do that kind of work, but all kinds of other trick Lil parts. Knurling, parting of stuff and threading is what I’m into. I can make bungs and what not for my chasis fabrication. Super pumped about this deal. So from here on out we will see what I create from this bad mofo!
Leather tooling
Started messing around tooling leather for the first time for my seat. Its been a trade I’ve wanted to learn quite some time. I went to a guys saddle shop next to our ranch and he made all our saddles and stuff when I was a kid. And since then just wanted to learn it. So I bought some basic tools. I’m no artist when it comes to this but its cool. This is just where I stopped. Still have to finish it!
Seat is mounted up
Here it is mounted up. Doesn’t look to bad. Prolly going to chop it off and slam the pan to the frame.
Seat pan mounts
So I welded up the bungs and biltwell seat mount so I could bolt up my seat. Looking pretty good. Well see how this setup feels.
Custom Tank
So I ordered up a tank kit from Lowbrow Customs. And I got a tri star cap from moon eyes. The tank is a semi frisco style. I thought it would look good on the bike. But I dont like the way it looks on the sportster. So Ill put it on the shelf for another build. First time welding up a tank. Came out pretty sick though!
Seat Pan
Ok so I had a sheet of aluminum, so I made a template to cut out my custom seat pan. I plan to wrap it with leather later, but will run it for now. I’m gonna try the springs and see how they look/feel.
