Tail-Seat Frame Building

Bent some 3/16" x 1 1/4" stock into a hoop to support the tail/seat. Plan to drill and bolt it to the tire side of the upper shock mounts. Why not, they are already tapped?


The South end of a North bound chicken...and some free advert for Steve Storz.


Stop side line: Tank end looks a little low. Sledge hammer is keeping this pricey piece of glass from bouncing on the concrete.


Go side: yep, tank end is too low.


Focus you idiot. Might be time for a higher megapixel camera. Looks like it could stand to move towards the tank a couple of inches too.

Makin' Brackets

The linkage on my rearsets always bugged me, and what with Barry getting those fancy Sato units, I finally did something about mine.

Got a great deal on a Buell XB shifter and linkage, threw in some scrap aluminum, and voila!

Garrett gets a brake!

One-off stainless rotor carrier, Buell rotor and 6-piston caliper. Ooh... it stops!

New look for the Rubber Chicken?

stay tuned...

Why Barry needs $800

I know, I suck at photoshop. But cool tank, eh?

Big K

The elusive, rarely photographed Kurt Ohlen, mastermind of the 59s.

Here he is blasting 4 layers of rattlecan plus factory paint off a CB350 tank. We need to get some before pics of that bike...
