Impulse purchase 67 tiger 650 (sorta)

Grabbed this bike off some dude in PA who wanted to buy Bug out land before the Mayan calendar ended.  Got it for a real good price, with a bunch of tools

prettiest bike I have, a lot of it original but it's running a bonnie head with dual carbs and def a later model front end.  paint isn't "correct" either but I'm not bitching.  I'm not doing anything to this but a quick carb cleaning


76 t140 chop, or rather put together

Been working on getting the frame down for my 76 T140..
Going with a Santee NOS stretched to holy hell frame, scored a deal on some newer 41 mm forks and a set of AAE narrowglide trees.  Going to roll a 19 harley up front and an old 18 Bonnie rear.  Also acquired an old chrome BSA tank in good condition.  7MW shorty rear, biltwell seat and a lil sissy, Flanders pullbacks and drag bars

It's going to sit somewhat like this, I do have a 21 I may throw on it too, not sure yet.  Engine is about done, total rebuild. I am hoping to piece it all together within the week, so I can tear it down and clean up the wheels, and paint the frame


time to update 77 shovel

here's a few pics of some recent projects, been busy and computerless..

here's the 77 shovel I have been messing with.. Got it like this.  Frankenbike, I think it was a fxl at some point
and after a shitload of engine work, new frame, and pretty much everything else I have it ready to fire and bring home to my garage this week, here she sits
