Booby Trap






This is the latest bike project...The Booby Trap. I know the name has been used before, but I dont care....it's a Buell Blast motor in an old sportster chopper frame, an old chrome '70 XL front end that I extended 10" and converted to big twin neck stem, vintage mustang style paughco tank that I took 4" out of the middle, paint is original from the 70's. Narrowed tall Z bars that have been sitting on my shelf for years, just a bunch of old junk and castoff parts from other builds and swap meet finds. I just got all the motor mounts finished, it's rigid mounted now, I should call it the Steely Dan, cause it's gonna vibrate like hell! switched it over to chain final drive too....hope to have it running in a few weeks.

Orange Crate



Grant had just picked up this 72 ironhead chopper in the valley. I remember seeing it on craigslist. Well, he ended up scoring a cool hardtailed sporty frame that had a k model in it, and decided to off the old 70's swingin hugger orange roller. I called him and went to check it out and ended up loading it in the back of my pickup and taking it home. I unloaded it into our walkway and surprised my wife with it, we were gonna start doin stuff to her little Buell, but I thought this would be a lot more fun. Seeing as we're always on a tight budget, were gonna rock the little buell motor in it, but it would be easy enough to switch it out later if she wants...the bike looks huge in the pics, but it's really not. She's just tiny....
