Wall Hanger

My first attempt at a home made 2 into 1 exhaust pipe. I'm planning on running a different exhaust so this one is going up on my wall for sentimental value.

CV Carb

A little carb cleaner and this thing will be good as new. Easy to work on. Easy to tune. What's not to like about the CV Carb? If you've got one you don't want send it to me, I'll be glad to take it off your hands.

Piece of Cake

I needed to disassemble the forks so I can have the fender mounts shaved off from the fork lowers. Boy, it needed it. New seal kit and fork oil required. Contrary to what I've read on other forums, it was a piece of cake disassembling the forks. All you need is a good vise with soft jaws,
a freind that knows, basic hand tools, and your done. Of course a service manual would have worked in place of a freind but what fun is that? Now to get the lowers shipped for a shave!

Brandon's Sporty

Took the family to my bro Brandon's house for his youngest son's birthday party and to watch the Chargers play. I snapped a couple pics of his bike an 02' XL. Nice subtle changes for a cool looking swing arm Sporty. 1200cc's. Scary fast.

Big Oscar's Shovel

Was over at Oscar's garage using his tools to pull my 39mm Showa forks apart for some leg shaving and seal replacement. I shot this pic of his new Shovel project. Foot clutch, Jockey shift, its a bitchin bike. The paint on the tins are outrageous.

Fredo's Shovel Dbl 16's



A cool Shovelhead built by Fredo in San Diego, CA. Lots of hand built parts and built to ride!
