Flesh for Frankenstein

To know death, Otto, you have to fuck life... in the gall bladder!

Long Bikes are the new Bobber...

...so I built a period correct one using leftover handlebars and fence posts and the wassel tank from Ed Roth's first panhead. I primered over that flake though, cause that shit's so '09. The motor is from Irish Rich's weed wacker. I scored it off a dude at the swap that said he traded some Angel Dust to Rich for it back in '68, and how he had the last laugh cause that shit was really just crushed up butterfly wings...I put a stroker crank in it though, cause stock sucks, and now I can run my Linkert on it...Funny thing is I talked to Irish Rich and he said that Angel Dust was the gnarliest shit ever... like dead hooker gnarly. I promised I would find him more if he signed the tank on my long bike before I put it on Tokyo craigslist.

Velvet Hammer feature in Street Chopper

is now up on their website...HERE

custom seats

I've had lots of requests for custom seats lately. Yes, I can make whatever you want, I do more than production seats for sporties and swingarm shovels. Due to my hectic schedule these seats will take longer to get in your hands and they will cost more than the production ones, but if you are interested in having a one off seat made for your bike, hit me up @oldgoldgarage

New parts

I've been too busy to update the blog with this stuff lately but here are a couple new offerings. Right now they are available exclusively through lowbrowcustoms.com but I'll have them on the webstore soon though. Brass Hollywood pegs and aluminum Bullseye CV carb covers that match our points covers. Brass CV covers are on the way also. Also soon we will have rubbermount sportster seats and rigid frame cobra king seats. Also working on some new seat models. Thanks for all of your support. Still making everything right here in southern California.

Holy Mountain AKA I am a bad blogger

I have been super busy lately which means I havent had too much time to goof off on here. This usually happens when I'm up against a deadline. Right now I'm trying to get a chopped '40 Ford coupe on the road for a customer. Plus all the usual orders, tattooing, designing parts, T-Shirts, taxes etc. Hang in there, I'm not dead yet, just really tired...For now enjoy the sweet retinal pleasures of Holy Mountain. Better if you're doing hallucinogenics, so drop em if you got em...
