Diggers man… Diggers

That’s where its at (unless you go trike). Cant get me enough of that sh*t. All night long I’m dreaming molded fenders, stretched prism tanks, chrome, mega rakes, rabbit bars, and metal flake.

Progress Update!

Just got a text from Jordan with a pic of the tank almost complete. I’m f*cking speechless… Here’s a tiny glimpse of where we’re at. Come to the Bearded Lady Motorcycle show and Full Tilt this weekend to see it in person. Support your local chopper blogs. Check out Jordan and Union Speed & Style online and in person this weekend too.

DIY Digger Tank

Started getting inspired by some old school Arlen Ness digger builds from the 70’s and decided to take a crack at a custom tank myself. Here’s where I’m at. Gonna take this thing to Rick for some Tig work. My sloppy ass Mig aint happening. I’m still not sure if this one will take the prize. Have to wait till its a little further along. Maybe I’ll graft a speedo or something into the facing panel??? Could be cool…

Skim Coat

Tank and fender made it to the painter. I suck at body work but luckily my painter was cool enough to do me a solid and get my sh*t right before spraying it. Supposed to be ready by tomorrow but we’ll see.  If all goes according to plan, the love machine will be on the street Wednesday night. Fingers crossed.

The Love Whip

Almost ready for the road. Worked on the love whip over the entire weekend. Smoothed out a couple dings in the tank, cut down the bar ends, and I got that sweet FMA stack mounted but I still wanst able to get everything knocked out. Need to clean up those damn cables and I’m starting to consider maybe some rippled pipes to finish it off. Paint on Friday – On the road next week!
