Union Speed

Taking the Funk Stick over to Jordan at Union Speed this week. We’ve got plans for a potentially brand new Speed Club product. Jordan is the man when it comes to pretty much any hand fabrication. Dude is young and he’s got serious skills. Midwest do it best. We’ll try to do a garage feature on Union Speed sometime here very soon. Stay tuned.

Does the Pope wear a Funny Hat?

Been holding out for a warmer day so I could sneak out to the garage and knock out my popes hat sissy bar. Finally decided not to let the Minnesota weather get between me and my welding. Put the kid down for a nap and got to it. Just needs a little touch up with the grinder and the Yammy is out of here. If you’re looking for an XS650 chopper that runs like a rapped date – hit me up. Everything was gone over this winter and it will officially be for sale sometime in the next week or so. Check craigslist, xs650chopper.com, egay, etc, etc.

dig it.

Brian’s Shovel

Finally got my shovel! Cant believe the day finally came. Once I get done ripping that spike and skull crap off, I think she’ll do just fine. It was covered in garage dust the first time I saw it. Didnt realize until now but she’s got a Hi-4, chrome trans case, S&S Shorty E, and a hand full of other chrome extras that will likely get re-purposed for the build. I gotta say, I’m loving it. Did I mention the plate number is 666? Yeah – for real. I thought I was reading it wrong or some shit. Crazy!

Here’s a pic. I threw a spare wassell tank and solo seat on it. I also swapped over to a different bar for mock up purpose. I got plans to make this thing my Born Free Funky Stick! – Dig it.

Sissy Bar – Dig it.

It’s been so nice out these last few days! I went out to the garage over lunch and started screwing around with some round bar. A cut here; a bend there and I’m thinking I might have some new sissy bar plans. Nothing too fancy. Just a little something to strap some shit down every now and again. I’m thinking some heavier gauge round bar stock a little taller still. Dig it.

Garage Love

RL sent me some pics he grabbed from a few weeks back. We were kicking around the garage putting that xs back together and working on a few Pabst. Cold or not, gotta get out there and keep those projects on track. Show some garage love. On a side note, I’m usually the one taken the pics. Kinda weird seeing myself for a change.
