    I'm kinda proud of my cantilevered rear 3 link system with reverse cantilever reservoir shocks all incorporated into a rack for my 52 Panhead with slip in tube ramp (removeable so tailgate can shut) Long story! but not even close to being done. Work in progress

    dont ask about front tire. lol I get mixed reviews. It was a test to see what kind of attention it would get, and apparently despite the "some" neg attn it gets from some hater raiders, it also gets some cool/ creative points. Back tire's crazy too kinda. Its a front car tire. Anyway, the next front tire on my 2 do list is probably the same as rear (16") like rear, or a 23" with a shorter springer

    I made these headers from scratch... the cones were 3.5" tubing and I pie cut them and pounded them together till they met and tacked them... Tiged the rest.

    I hand made the master for this Pierce-Arrow dash panel, then had it cast in aluminum. Sanded, machined, and polished it myself.
