Used Parts

I have a nice collection of used Ironhead parts if anyone out there is looking for stuff let me know.

More Pix

Recent work on Larry' bike.

Winter in NH

My friend sent me this pic last night it is what happens when you are plowing a lake to drag race snowmobiles and the truck fall in. They ended up building this frame around the truck striping the truck down for weight and lifting it out. Got to love it!

Get it together

Larry's Ghetto Blaster is coming together

Update

It has been a busy week here at chop shop cycles. We have been working on finishing up Larry's Ironhead along with the finishing touches on another custom we are doing. Hopefully I can get the custom to paint next week and Larry's out the door. We have a bagger we are doing for Daytona that still needs paint and parts. I will get pictures of all these projects up soon it is just better to work than sit here and type. Sorry for the lack of post but money is money! Anyways have a safe weekend everyone and send in pics if you want to see your bike up here, a lot of people are looking at these pages these days.

True winter depression

My shop does have heat, do to construction my LP tanks are disconnected so this is what I am down to.

Cliff sent me a text this morning and thinks this is the answer to all my problems...

I stole this from Grail I thought it was fitting for Friday!

Handlebar Recall
VOLUNTARY RECALL OF WELDED BILTWELL HANDLEBARS

Our main goal at Biltwell is to make products that you can trust. It has come to our attention that some Biltwell Keystone and Frisco handlebars have failed at the weld joint. This has occurred on less than 1 percent of all bars sold in these models. We've personally tested these bars on our own bikes, over thousands of miles, often in rough conditions, with zero problems. In the past 18 months three customers experienced failures at the lower welded joint: 2 Friscos and 1 Keystone out of 800+ bars sold. We feel it's our responsibility to alert all customers to this potential problem, and to offer a speedy, fair solution.

Effective immediately, we have ceased production on all welded handlebars until the problem has been resolved. All bars in current inventory will be destroyed. We will release new models when we are confident there will be no more failures.

If you own the following welded Biltwell handlebar(s), please return them to us for a full refund:

• Clubman (1” or 7/8”)

• Frisco (1” or 7/8”)

• Keystone (1” or 7/8”)

We will send every consumer who returns these handlebars the sum of $87—$77 (MSRP + $10 for freight.) This offer will remain in effect for six months until June 15, 2009.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and we appreciate your continued support for the Biltwell brand. Standing behind our products when things go wrong is the best way we know to prove our dedication to the scene and to our customers.

If you are a Biltwell dealer or distributor, please consolidate all applicable inventory and return it to us with a copy of the invoice immediately. We will reimburse you for the full purchase price of all returned handlebars immediately.

Please return all welded Biltwell handlebars to:

Biltwell Inc.
27570 Commerce Center Drive #129
Temecula, CA 92590
951-699-1500

Action Alert 01/07/2009 Action Alert - New Hampshire HB-95 is Bad News House Bill 95, introduced by Rep. Judith Day (D-North Hampton), could have a profound impact on your motorcycle and your freedom to ride in the Granite State. If enacted, HB-95 would: - prohibit any and all motorcycle exhaust system modifications; - prohibit all after-market equipment that replaces the muffler; - require all motorcycles to be equipped with a tachometer; - require all motorcycles to measure 95 dB(A) or less tested at 20 inches from the exhaust system at a 45 degree angle; - and increase the fine to not more than $500 for a violation If you believe this bill is ill-conceived and would have a chilling effect on motorcycling in New Hampshire, contact your state representative NOW and tell him or her so. If you don't know who your state representative is, visit the "Who's My Legislator" area of the New Hampshire General Court website and select your hometown from the dropdown list. Then call, write, e-mail, fax and/or visit your representative to encourage their opposition to HB-95. Talking points to keep in mind: - not all motorcycles are equipped from the factory with tachometers - unless administered by properly trained personnel with properly calibrated equipment, the sound level recorded may not represent the true sound level of the exhaust system - an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) exhaust system may no longer be available or could be cost prohibitive for a wide range of motorcycles There are other ways to reduce excessive exhaust sound from motorcycles. Clearly, HB-95 is a bad idea. Share this information with your motorcycling friends. After all, if nobody speaks up, this legislation could easily become law soon. More Info Here
