Pretty stoked how these came out! It’s the first set of pipes I made for a buddy of mine. They will be painted and wrapped, unless he wants to keep em looking colorful! These pipes are for running mid controls. They are for a 883 sportster. I have to put the o2 bungs in next which is a breeze. But I had to take a test ride on em first!

Dude I’m so pumped! I got my first lathe! It’s a Hardinge HLV tool room lathe that is perfect for all my Lil needs. It was highly recommended by a couple of machinist I know. Ever since I got around bike shops that were turning down heads and cylinders I was hooked. I don’t want to do that kind of work, but all kinds of other trick Lil parts. Knurling, parting of stuff and threading is what I’m into. I can make bungs and what not for my chasis fabrication. Super pumped about this deal. So from here on out we will see what I create from this bad mofo!

Started messing around tooling leather for the first time for my seat. Its been a trade I’ve wanted to learn quite some time. I went to a guys saddle shop next to our ranch and he made all our saddles and stuff when I was a kid. And since then just wanted to learn it. So I bought some basic tools. I’m no artist when it comes to this but its cool. This is just where I stopped. Still have to finish it!

Here it is mounted up. Doesn’t look to bad. Prolly going to chop it off and slam the pan to the frame.

So I welded up the bungs and biltwell seat mount so I could bolt up my seat. Looking pretty good. Well see how this setup feels.
