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!
