Cobra King

Nice simple bike with one of my seats on it. Proof that you don't need a crazy paint job to make a sporty look great. Good taste goes a long way....

Virgin Killer for sale

This has been the best running and handling bike I've ever owned and I've had quite a few. It's a '93 which to me is better than a new one, it's still a carb, no EFI, it's got the trap door trans which means you dont have to split the cases etc. It's got about 15,000 miles on it, and runs better than new. I have done extensive mods to it, some are obvious, most arent. It has a dished gas tank with custom paint and real gold leaf, mooneyes gas cap, frisco mounted. Custom handlebar risers w/ drag bars, panhead levers with remote Buell Master Cylinder, Old Gold Garage Cobra King seat with hidden rear mount(only one like this) Old Gold Garage points cover, cut rear fender with 60's sportster struts and taillight, chopped sprocket cover, 21" front wheel with Avon Speedmaster, vintage oil pressure light in headlight eyebrow, Old Gold Garage domed CV carb cover, velocity stack, benchmark breathers, Jetted and tuned, custom exhaust by me(just ceramic coated since pics), sounds insane. relocated coil, choke, ignition switch. Shaved fork legs, with fork gators, lowering kit in front and short shocks in the back. New Kevlar clutch extra plate kit from Energy One. Gold Leaf by John Glaspie who used to paint Dragsters and Funny Cars in the 60's and 70's. starts up easy every time and has never left me stranded. split lanes...
It can be seen featured on HERE...and coming soon to Outlaw Biker Magazine

Ritchie's Sporty

Went down to the Street Chopper party yesterday in Long Beach. The new issue is killer. That magazine has come a long way thanks to Jeff and Grant. The article on my friend Ritchies bike was finally in this issue which was great. The only thing is Ritchie didn't get the credit he deserves for the work he put in on it. We built the bike together at Old Gold. He wasn't just a customer who hired me to build it for him, and although I did quite a bit of design and fab work on it. Ritchie also did his fair share of the work. It was a fun build and I'm glad I got to be part of it. Just trying to give credit where it's due. The article is pretty funny though. Go buy a copy!

Grindle Fly

Rick Grindle just painted the tank on the SFV ironhead to match the paint he did on the frame and fender in the 70s....came out bitchin. I think this bike is headed for Minnesota next....done deal.

Long sleeve Ironhead shirts

Rubbermount Sportster Cobra King Seat...

...ok, don't get too excited yet, this is just a prototype, but it's close to working the way I want it. This is for '04 to current model sportsters, irons, nightsters etc. It is a bolt on for 04-06 and 10-11 models, 07-09 models will require a relocation of the ECM which is fast and easy, I will include instructions, and this seat will not cover the hole in the fender on those years, so you will need to fill the hole or run a different fender for 07-09 models. This seat pictured is a long version or two-up version, I will also be offering a solo (short) version for this seat. It will include all of the brackets and uses the stock gas tank mount hardware. This will clear the ignition modules on 04-06 models under the seat, and is a metal seat pan, not plastic. Price is yet to be determined. I'm hoping to have these out within a couple months.

you asked, we answered

I have had alot of requests for pics of the new Cobra King seats on bikes. Here ya go, I am out of town for a few days, but I'm hoping to get the first batch of seats up for sale on the webstore some time next week. Thanks for all the positive feedback on these so far.
