Best tools ever

So i broke down there other night.........FFFFUUUUCCKKK!!!! I was riding out to me friends house in Helmet CA. Got about half way there going up hill and all of a sudden no power, bike shut off. i was like oh shit did I run out of gas again!!! Cause I ran out like a month ago like a dumbass, had to push my bike into the nearest parking lot. Anyways It was about 1 in the morning and cold as shit. and the bike shut off and i coasted to the side of the road, thinking what the fuck now. you see most people dont realize when you build a custom bobber/chopper you gotta pay attention to the small details(which i thought i did). so im there on the side of the road checking the gas(plenty), checking the key (and its fine). Lights are all working so its not the battery. I was up hill so i turned the bike around and tried to jump start it, no luck. Figured it had to be electrical. So i got out the most important tools that i own.... My iphone and my Leathermans tool. Used my phone for the light on it and the lethermans for everything else. searching around the bike in the pitch black and found one of my ground wires to my ignition module came off the starter. Used a nut from somewhere else, cross-threaded it on there bump started her and i was on my way........

Biltwell whiskey throttle

So i just got my new throttle in the mail today. This thing is the shit!!! I bought two throttles, first one piece of shit, second one more of a piece of shit, and the stock one is big, bulky  and lame.Got it from a company called Biltwell Inc. I have known about this company for a while and bought there hustler helmet(very comfy by the way). and Now I got my new throttle. My old ones kept sticking and not snapping back fucking annoying!!! especially when your riding down the freeway and you want to slow down. So I spent the $100 bucks and it rules ass. Too bad its raining and I cant use it right now.......

Gas Tank Massacre!!!!!!!!!!

So I realized that i had to put a gas tank on the KZ. looking around on ebay found a lot of good gas tanks but I keep putting it off. what can i say im a cheap ass sometimes. and I love the idea that I can build things with a vision. so I was pondering in my garage the other day, and saw the old giant shitty gas tank from the sportster. pretty much have hated that gas tank ever since that thing came home. and it was the first thing that I pulled off the sporty. so there it was sitting there dirty and looking dumb hahahahah. decided to cut it in half.......

                                               

The small details

Working on the CB750 the last couple of days. fabricated some gussets for the foot platforms. had to make these triangles  out of some 1/8'' steel plates. shaping the inside so the have a good fit to the frame for support. don't want people eating shit on there bikes cause some shoemaker didn't pay attention to details ahahahahaha....

Slow day

Slower day at the shop today. messed with the CB and also the KZ. here is some pics of the shit i did today.......

El Chingon.......

Started on another project today. Gotta start finishing some stuff before i take anything else on. Looks like im gonna be doing a bit more bikes than i expected this year. took on two more projects that will be starting in the next couple of weeks. CB750 custom chopper, EVO big twin bobber, and possibly a CB650 along the way. gonna have to start going to the shop even earlier. Fuck it, its totally worth it. Took some pics of the CB750  Frame today, and El Chingon (thats my bike by the way, just haven't got it put on the tank yet.....)
