Truth is we have been up to our ears in bike builds and fab work and also focusing on the Visionary Cycle Products parts lineup and attending and supporting shows and events within the community that we support.
If you have a minute go check out the production parts that I produce along with my partner Jason at visionarycycleproducts.com

Like normal its not about the bikes or the show its about catching up with old friends you dont get to see too often and meeting new ones and getting in some good riding time with everyone we hang out with. We had an absolute blast with everyone that came into town and its always a please getting to ride with Big Nick from Industry Customs who recently left NY to move his shop to San Marcos, CA. Arie from JDA had a blast on the '51 pan/shovel and dubbed it the "ranch hand" Mattias from Lebeef had some great stories to share with us and of course the usual antics and laughter from Mike 47 and James from 47 Industries and Anna from the Lowside crew. It was great to meet Ben from Ride Free Mag from Germany who took great pics of all of us riding in and out of Brooklyn and NYC all weekend. Cant forget to mention Christian and Dennis from the HF crew for riding down and bringing along the moonshine. Our good friend Craig for letting us all stash the bikes at his place in Brooklyn when the down pour started and the roads were unridable and for leading the pack everywhere we rode. The biggest thanks has to go out to my shop partner Jason from Visionary Cycle Products for putting everyone up at his place for the last week and for shuffling everything around and feeding everyone all week long. Looking forward to getting everyone together.
Heres some pics from the last several days.

Party starts at 6PM. If you are within riding distance be sure to ride out and have a good time.
We have a ton of prizes to raffle off from all the event sponsors show on the flyer and all the proceeds from the raffles will be going to benefit Mike from TWT.
Cool riding weather, beer, bikes, and strippers. What more could you possibly want.
Hope to see you there.

just waiting on some stainless pushrod covers to be finished up so I can install the pushrods and set the magneto timing and fire it up
All the paint and prep work on the tins was done by Erick from Jakescustoms.com
I would highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for some amazing work
he did an outstanding job on this set right here and I could not be more happy with them

Anyway Im just about ready to start final assembly
just got the frame back from powdercoating today and my engine builder called today and said my engine is completely finished and I just about have everything to go together here on my end so hoping to get the frame back into a roller tomorrow then will probably have the drivetrain back in my by the weekend if everything goes well.
Just some pics of the powdercoated stuff, the exhaust all metal finished (just have to still do the brushed finish on them) and some other odds and ends.
Paint is still out at the painter but hoping to get that back really soon its going to completely set the rest of the bike off with the color combo we went with.
Powdercoated frame

I also made up the seat pan from fiberglass just have to trim that up to shape and mounted the mid controls just need to mount the rear master and the foot clutch
Hoping to have all the raw fab work done by the end of this week then break it down for final welding then send the tins out for paint and the motor and trans will get a freshen up
I still have a lot of work left to do but I'm starting to turn the corner

He wanted it to go back to stock length which was a little hard considering that the lower sections used for the extension were not OEM tapered leg sections they were just round tube that someone welded on and the front legs were extended with solid rod stock. So after locating a set of old Buchanans extended legs for him I was able to put this back together to stock length for the rear legs and the front was done over by using some front legs from Carls Cycle to get it back to its proper look. Below are some pics of what I started out with and then the final product.

It will be in full 304 stainless
I started on the back section and mount for the front pipe and Im pretty happy with what is taking shape so far
I have a lot of ground clearance with this frame which is good because I can run the front pipe completely under the motor and not cover the motor at all which is what I wanted

but I got the oil tank mounted up on the panhead
(I just have to go back and shape the lower mount bracket and give everything a final welding and that is taken care of )

I got some stainless exhaust pipe stretched to fit the exhaust flanges on the heads so Im hoping to start on the exhaust sometime this week

its based off of a '48 frame that my pops has had since the 60's and he rode that thing literally from coast to coast a number of times back then with a panhead motor in it.
A few years ago we put it back together with a pan/shovel motor out of a lot of left over parts we had kicking around, it wasnt such a great look but it got by for a while
so just over the last few months I finally got enough free time to get it closer to where I want it
Only things really left to do are do the exhaust over in stainless and ditch the spring mount seat and go with a rigid mount solo seat instead. Maybe strip everything down next winter and go back and put some of the stuff back on the frame that was cut off decades ago like the side car loops and repair the axle plates etc. then give it a nice paint job. But for now this will get him by,
he rides the hell out of this thing it goes just about everywhere with him really nice reliable comfortable bike
just wanted to post some pics up of it
this is what it looked like last year <a href="http://s9.beta.photobucket.com/user/ralphiejantz/media/1948%20wishbone%20chopper%20build/PICT0009-1.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a93/ralphiejantz/1948%20wishbone%20chopper%20build/PICT0009-1.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo PICT0009-1.jpg"/></a>

and fast forward to a few days after the mild make over
went with an OEM springer that I repaired, narrow sporty tank, brit style rear fender, made the sissy bar setup from 304 stainless, laced up some 16" hoops to some oem star hubs and went with an OEM juice drum and some firestone tires, and also an air cleaner from Kim at BCM and some custom handlebar top clamp setup that I made for him also

We brought some bikes down to display and some custom handlebars and parts for people to check out.
I just want to start off by saying a huge thank you to Rich and all the crew from Lowside this is the first time I met them in person and they were an awesome group of guys and gals who showed us a great time down in Maryland and were friendly enough to shuffle us around and let us crash at their places etc. Needless to say we didnt leave much time for sleep and the 4 days seemed like an endless time of laughter and antics. It was nice to put some faces to the names that I constantly see Instagram activity from and nice to see some friends in the Industry that I dont get to see all the time like my local friends.
Big thanks to Jason from The Shop LINY for taking the trip down there with me. For anyone who follows my work and doesnt know Jay he is a great friend of mine and builds some absolute killer stuff. He is really on the down low when it comes to advertising etc. but he is on Instagram for anyone that wants to follow his work its @theshopliny
Always great to see Big Nick from Industry Customs since he moved out of our area, and Mike and James from 47 Industries in NJ I dont think we all stopped laughing at any point during that trip.
So here are just a few pics of what I had on my cellphone I should have taken more but we were too busy drinking and having a good time so this is all I got

and I finished up the rear fender and sissy and tail light setup
I really wanted a very minimal piece back here and it came out just like I had it pictured in my head
its all made of 304 stainless and I will be making a custom seat pan to fit up against it nice and tight
