God Damn it

I was doing pretty well and into the home stretch with this damn black bike until the end of my mainshaft decided to pop off. Cheap ass korean made roadmax peice of shit, once again proof that you should buy american. However since i'm poor the plan is to drop a stock harley gearset into the case and call it a day.

War

This week has been war. but its Friday time to get out of here

old blackie

my own personal alcatraz, fuck i wish this would just finish itself

speedo mount

complete with the brightest oil pressure light ever. Back in the day the old man lost oil pressure on his ironhead, turns out after spending far too much to have the thing rebuilt that the oil pressure light wasn't working and the motor seized. He ended up giving the bike away after that. This time around he asked for a light that would really catch his eye.

New life for old friends

So you have this bitchin old 3/4 with a blown lout liner and styromfoam that rattling around and fits so loose its like a sail choking the shit out of you at any speed above walking? Fear not, fellow collectors of old shit helmets. We just picked up some of these liners for the biltwell novelty helmets and in less than 10 minutes (most of which are spent deciding on sticker placement for your toolbox, bike, face, ect.) you can have yourself a like new lid again. Just strip it down to the shell (most helmets do this on their own) drop in the new liners and viola!  Its like a hug for your head, a gentle soothing hug. Now you can fully enjoy your vintage tweeker 70's painted lid again. They also work for people who have stupid big heads like myself, with the styrofoam safety bit i can't fit into pretty much any old helmet that i own, maybe i just picked up a bunch of medium ones? who knows? Anywho, this is the ticket right here. Oh and its cheap, like 20 bucks kind of cheap. fuck yeah, thanks biltwell!
