Merry Christmas

from all of us at CSC!

Hardtail for Christmas

Just finished up this hardtail and tank mount for a Christmas present...

Not so rigid

Our customer was looking for a little comfort in his ride. He had us use some chopper shox and a new seat hinge to make it a little less abusive on his back. Now before anyone talks shit this old boy has been riding rigids for years and rides the shit out of them.

Haven't had a Friday post in a while

If I forget next week, Merry Christmas!

Another One

Our good friend Brad came through on his end of a deal... Looks like my old man is getting a new scooter!

Progress Report

Frame in the Jig before we cut the nech out for the new H.D. neck.
New neck all in and welded.
Girder frontend installed.
Rough mock up. The customer is looking for a loose interpretation of the Sugar Bear bike featured in Custom Bike June 1977.

Another picture. Now we are going to get the sheet metal done and start hammering out some of the little stuff.

Honda Time

We are doing a Honda 750 at the shop. Same frame as Duane's. We just changed the neck and fixed a bent section of the frame. I will get up some pictures of this project soon.

Happy Hump Day

Messed up week, lots of shit going on. Later...

Little How To

I remove the sludge trap cap with a impact and a large flat head screw driver bit. You may need to drill out the dimple next to the cap.
Here you see the 5/8 by 11 tap turned in to the trap tube. You may need to remove some of the sludge to get the tap in far enough. After it is threaded in you can run a nut down the tap which will act as a puller removing the tube. Remember the crank bolt must be installed when threading in the tap but remove it to pull out the tube. Be very carefull not to break the nut as it will be a bitch to remove and fix.
Here is a picture of the tube coming out.
Just some of the shit from the tube. It was plugged solid.
Make sure you clean the crank out as well as the tube. Put some time into it.

Ouch

Got to love the British... Sludge trap strikes again.

Happy Thanksgiving

Don't get stuffed...

Shaving the Fat

Starting to make some head way on this early 90s Fatboy. These bikes are always a great starting point for a custom. Some many of them out there and at affordable prices.

Honda days are here again!

Started in on Larry's Honda this week. Looking to replace the neck fix the left side rear kick up. Then it is time to put this thing together. He is going for a 70's look modeled after a Sugar Bear bike. Check back for more progress this should be a fun one.

Update

Sorry for the lack of stuff on here, I have been busy in the shop lately. I will get out the camera as soon as I can find it and shoot some of the stuff going on. If you are wanting your bike done up for spring give me a call I will let you know what our time frames are on projects.
