Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 3:50PM We just CNC machined and sent out one of the Triumph triple clamps we make for the new model Triumph's. After it was machined from 6061 billet aluminum we tumbled it for a soft finish before getting it black anodized like the client requested. Sorry for the mediocre photo's but our professional photographer must have had the week off.
Monday, December 5, 2011 at 1:00PM Like it or not most motorcycles manufactured in this day and time have all sorts of modern conveniences like anti-lock brakes (ABS), belt drives and fuel injection. While these items improve reliability and safety they make customization something that has to be planned, sometimes extensively. One of the most extensive modifications that can be done is replacing your factory gas tank that has an internal fuel injection pump with a custom built alloy, or aluminum, tank. Not only does the new tank need to be shaped and welded but it also needs a flange made to bolt the large and awkward internal fuel injection pump too, a feat in itself. Seeing as we have worked with the fuel injected Triumph Thruxton's in the past by making several custom alloy parts we decided to start producing these alloy tank flanges for other builders and do-it-yourselfers. The flanges are CNC machined from 6061 billet aluminum and fit the in-tank fuel injection pumps with precision. Feel free to contact us with your needs.
Wednesday, November 16, 2011 at 9:04AM Several months ago I received an email from Leonardo Cabrini from Belo Horizonte, Brazil asking about our fender eliminator kit for the BMW S1000RR. Leo had several questions about the wiring and the use of our LED plate eluminator and wanted to know if we could ship out of the country. As you can see from the pictures below they answer the questions he had and to quote Leo...
Dear Matt, hope you are well.
See attached the fender after installed. Very nice! Gave my bike a new super sport looking.
Greetings from Brazil!

Friday, September 30, 2011 at 10:05AM Several months ago we finished working on Stan Reents '05 Suzuki Intruder. We did not post much on the motorcycle as to not give details of the build away and it received some recent attention in Motorcycle Cruiser Magazine. Follow the link below to read more about the motorcyle and the work that was done.

Thursday, August 18, 2011 at 10:17AM I just listed the coolest vintage speed part I have ever had the pleasure of owning on eBay. My plans were to put the Potvin to good use but I am unable to see when I will have the opportunity to do so. Instead of hoarding the mother of all speed parts from the genius Chuck Potvin, I have decided to give someone else the opportunity. Easy come, easy go, no regrets, live long and prosper..... I keep repeating these in my head in order to convince myself that I am doing the right thing. Oh well, happy ebaying.
