    My very first love!

    Ha-Ha, look what I just got off ebay.



    I just got my plans for a frame jig and several hard tail frame plans, but couldn't pass this up. Can you see 110 horses bolted to that bad boy? I can!

            Looks like fun. I love bikes as well but my tastes lie on the other side of the river.

              Whats with the Iron Cross and WWI German helmet references in the picture?
              Or just that bikers were more 'hardcore' back in the day?

                Hitler did use the Maltese Cross, but he was by far not the first. The history of the cross dates back around 1000 years or more. I don't really claim to know the history well but it has a religious and military beginning.

                There is a great deal of information on the Internet if you are really interested. A search for "Maltese Cross" or "Malta People" will head you in the right direction.

                        These are my Trike trees compaired to stock Harley trees.




                        This is a compairson between the 2 sets I made. The ones mounted was the first set, they are only 18" wide.



                        This is the first set I made..


                        Second set..







                        I also made the mounts on the bottom of the forks to mount the wheel and axle.

                          Not real sure yet, nothing is set in stone but this is likely the road I'll venture down. I'll probably continue to do custom parts and services perhaps a complete bike here and there, only time will tell.

                            I'm not into flashy paint jobs and frilly stuff, all I can promise is that I will like it.
