60's style

60's custom and modern stuff and stuff that is styled to mimic what was goin on in the 60's is my absolute favorite. I can go on and on forever with pictures but here are some examples why im obsessed with 60's junk.

BSA progress


Damn, its been a while. Oh well, no one reads this shit anyways. haha

Progress has been slow on my BSA. Figuring out this springer/brake is no easy task.

I took the frame and springer to my friend Joe who is going to machine a top clamp for me since im an idiot and bought it without one. He got a cup machined for the lower bearing and now hes waiting on me to find a 1"x24 stem nut for preloading the bearings so he can figure out the measurments and make the piece.

I also took my 68 triumph brake over there and we came to the conclusion that hes going to have to machine a new axle for me too.

In the meantime Im going to finish polishing my backing plate on my new buffer (which kicks ass!) Hopefully ill be able to order a new David Bird hardtail from Lowbrowcustoms too.

Fresh Meat on Ryans sporty

Me and Ryan just picked up his bike from Watsons. He got some new tires put on. It looks so much better. The rear tires rubs the oil tank but we think adding a link in the chain and pulling the tire back will fix that. Now hes gonna put some new upsweep pipes on it, build some z bars and lower the headlight a little bit. This things gonna be the baddest bike in town. Actually it probably already is.


Old tires


NEW TIRES

Triumph headed to its new home



The Triumph is headed for its new home today. Well technically it will be at Detroit Autorama (in the basement) and then headed to its new home in Virginia with Atomb Bomb Customs. It probably won't look like this for long but Clay knows what the hell hes doing so theres nothing to worry about.
