A little gangsta lean with my urban assault machines

Bitch Bar

Putting a bitch bar on the sporty!! Fabricating up some mounts now, paint it black and maybe some pinstriping on the iron cross!

New carb parts make me happy!

Boyesen Twinshot is worth every penny it cost me. It got rid of the bog and hesitation of the stock carb.

The Pow Pow...

My first attempt at powder coating. Bead blasted the rust off the peg mounts, masked and used a high gloss black powder. Maybe I should of sanded some of the pits out of the metal, but I am very happy with the results that I had on my first go round.

Chop the cross-over... time to wrap it up!

More new parts... most bought while on vacation.

 Cast and polished brass CV carb cover from Old Gold Garage Co.

Brass headlight eyebrow. New old stock off of Ebay
 
Brass looking mirror from Mr. Lucky's, very nice and inexpesive too!

Back for more...

After another great trip to Utah I'm back to the bike,played around with my pole-cam and I'm very pleased with the results I got. Soon I will be using it for some bike shots.

Just for the brass....

So I decided to add a few brass touches to the sporty since my Joker Machine air cleaner came with brass fittings, I figured I would add a few more highlights. Polished the heads before putting them on.

Gettin closer...

The Sporty is gettin closer to what I want. The new fork boots look real sweet on it. I was real surprised to how easy taking the front end off by my self. It took me longer to get the bike all strapped down on the lift then it did to take the forks off and on. Not I think a little powder coating, black paint, and some brass bolt high lights... maybe a little gold sputtering too.

COLD....

Gone snowboarding... but still thinkn about bikes...

 Out on the town in Salt Lake City, I had to hit up Moto Mondays with the Bolts Action crew

 It was about 20 degrees out and these boys wanted to ride...

Hot Bikes and cold nights was what it was all about in the SLC... I need to bring the Sporty out here this Spring.

Vortex Board and Bike Works progress

The Vortex Board and Bike Works is coming together nicely... a few more things to put in... a workbench and an air compressor would be the next things in the list... But it sure is nice to be able to go and wrench on a bike whenever I want :)

New Crib for Me and My Toys!

Blacked Out

Put my blacked out strut covers on and I really like how they turned out. Removed the belt guards while I was there because I like the way it looks without them.

GoPro

My helmet GoPro mount, worked real good upside down just above my shoulder.

Day Off....

This is what a good day off is for... not bumpin elbows at a shopping Mall at 5am to save a few bucks. I will take the sound of a screamin engine, bright skys and clean crisp air anytime.

Happy Thanksgiving...

Someday....

NICE RAT....

SICK....

True Chopper

I ran into this one day while riding on the 101

The Black Out!

Blacking out some parts on my bike. Using the Dupli-Color Chrome Blackout on the first pieces, the rear fender strut covers. It's a two step process a paint and a clear to go over it. Looks good so far and it does give it a nice shine, hopefully it's as durable as the say. I'm going to let the dry real good before I put them back on the bike. Thinking some brass bolts might give a nice accent to them too, just depends on if I can find them.

Out of Service

Looks like my riding buddy Steve will be out of service for a while. Here is a picture of what it looks like when you break your elbow. I guess he'll have some time to do some one-handed tinkering on the bike for the next 6 weeks or so....

Atomic Sporty

My first blog except for the Facebook bullshit...
Let me see if I can make this interesting.
