R.I.P. Davy Jones (the Monkees)

He was only 66, way too young to go.

On a side note, other than the opening credits Monkees theme song, this was their best song hands down.

East Bound and Down!

SCB Tank Badge

My take on an AMF tank badge for Sportsters.

What to do with those old S/E slip ons...

...after you CTFS? Hell, they're just collecting dust under your bench. I decided that I'd make 2ea 2 into 1 systems. After they're done I'll throw 'm on Chop Cult, or E-Bay.

I removed the baffle, then started playing with bends and lengths






Fabbed up the rear pipe, marked and blew a hole in the muff.


Cut the flange off, and had Mikey tig 'm up while still on the bike.

Tomorrow I'll take them off, and have him tig the remaining, remove and grind down the original mounting tab, add a mounting bracket that will attach to the top bolt on the pulley cover, sandblast, and send out for black ceramic coating.

Big props to Paul at Spitfire for letting me hang out all the time, and make cool shit with the help of his team.

Stay tuned...

Nice Weld-On H/T Sporty

Someone spent a lot of time in the neck area, looks real nice for a factory frame. Not crazy about the moniker on the gas tank, or the forward controls, but hey...it ain't mine.

Spitfire Motorcycle's Twin Cam Rigid Frame Kit Progress

They've just about got it all mocked up now. Everything fits perfect, so they're going to get going on the battery box/electrical wrap, and get this thing done. Keep an eye out for the Dyna, and Softail twin cam conversion frames on their website.


Check out the shape of that rear section.
