The Hinck

2012-01-20T07:54:00.000-08:00

Rippin into a customers 07 Triumph America. Frame and trees by Acme choppers who I can't say enough good things about. Great products and service every time. Shaved, ribbed, cut down and polished sporty forks, 21 spool front, 18 rear with Avons. Narrowed and flat bottomed 1971 Triumph tank. We'll hide all the electrics in the oil bag. Simple spring seat, ribbed fender and struts as well as a sissy bar for trips. Take off sporty rear caliper should work with some hand made mids. High, same side rippled pipes?? Oh and some finned covers by Denver Dan! Should be a super fun bike that'll be tearing up the streets of Calgary this summer...probably be faster than Tex's bike...

Finally found a good trip hammer for a reasonable price (AKA super cheap) Needs a complete rebuild but I guess that's when I'll learn exactly how it works..if I ever find the time to put into it..

Party time..

David Bird

2011-11-06T08:42:00.000-08:00

Just welded a David Bird XS650 hardtail on for a customer. I was pleasantly surprised to say the least with the fitment and quality of the kit. Considering the price this kit is a great deal that's been very well thought out. Should be a cool little bike!

Fist of a legend.

Just a teaser of what Heather New is cookin for us right now.. (keep in mind too that this is far from done and will have even more detail when finished)If you haven't already checked out Heather's work, you need to! She is one of the good guys (in this case gal)in our industry. Crazy talented, hard working, fast, reasonable, honest and dead reliable every time. Above all that she is a great friend and a great person to work with. Give your bike some true one-off hand craftmanship, you'll never regret it and it will set you apart.. Tell her we sent ya!!

http://www.new-lineengraving.com/

These rockers will be gracing a stock HD shovel that is about to be torn right down, polished and build up to a killer 93" with all S&S internals. Dual magneto's that will also be fully engraved, hand spun push rod tubes and collars and a custom cast air cleaner. Pumped to build this bike!

DEADNUTZCOOL!!

More Sharpie

2011-09-13T13:35:00.000-07:00

A new twin cam softail we dressed up for a customer. 23" front, RSD fender/seat, lowered the rear, cut the tubes, jockey shift, cleaned up the bars, made the pipes, etc. Sharpie art by Jamie again. Pics by Rheanon.
We have since changed the bars out to some 12" apes and re-did the air cleaner. Sounds like there are some more mods coming this winter! Open chain primary maybe..?

Friends

2011-08-26T21:17:00.000-07:00

So Sturgis was nothing less than a fuckin riot this year. We had the kinda fun that shouldn't be allowed and apparently isn't at the Buffalo Chip...but for me the highlight was the ride down. There was about ten of us, one poor soul in the truck and the rest of us riding. 150 miles in we stopped in Minot, Nd and picked up Ryan. Now I'm not gonna try to explain the kind of friend that Ryan is to me cause I can't, but I don't get to see him enough and definitely don't get to ride with him enough.. I was on my shovel and he was on his freshly rebuilt (from the crank up, by himself) 47 Indian Chief. Yes it's the real Trigger out of the movie HELLRIDE.. Now I don't want to take anything away from the rest of the group as it was a perfect bunch of peeps to roll with, but the day and a half rollin bar to bar with Ryan did my soul a pile of good. I like to ride fast and always have, and in the process really forgot how relaxing riding 60 - 65 can be. There is just something that's hard to put into words about riding with this kind of friend on a couple old bikes, you built yourselves, to a place with the kind of history that Sturgis holds.. It can't happen again soon enough... Big Love.

Who's paint??

2011-08-17T06:48:00.000-07:00

Can anybody tell me who painted this?? Japan I think.. Thanks!!

Douche Bag Pinata...

2011-08-13T12:29:00.000-07:00

So we had a zip line or Douche Bag Pinata as Wes called it running right over the Limpnickie trailer in the Chip. Probably some of the funniest shit all week watching Wes heckle the nice folk zipping over us..Check him at Lords Of Loud. It was a pleasure and a trip to hang with ya Wes, remember Canada's just a hay field away...

Out for paint

2011-07-19T20:50:00.000-07:00

alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631277317027483810" />

Just finished mocking up this little rigid for another oilfield customer living the dream in Albania!! Out for paint, powder and plating as we speak. I'll tool the seat in the mean time and everything should come together right after Sturgis. This one will be fast as hell! Thanks John, it's been a pleasure!

Saddle Bagage.

2011-07-04T19:38:00.000-07:00

Custom single side saddle bag for Tex' sporty. These bags are a collaboration between ourselves and Raven Leather. We got together on the design, I do all the tooling on the ones we sell and Raven buidls em.. They don't look like much storage but man is it nice to have somewhere for the essentials.(like whiskey and gasoline)

badass as all hell

Course of events..

2011-06-17T22:33:00.000-07:00

Our 98 shop Dyna. Bought it as a very mild write off and soon after found an unbelievable deal on a 124S&S w.IST. Just after these pics we put some stock mids back on it, adjustable front forks off the Sharpie Sporty, dual disc Brembo's and a Baker 6spd. (Thanks Scott!!) Oh, and a new rear tire, well actually two... As much as I love the vintage stuff this bike is just fuckin crazy fun to ride!

2011-06-14T20:51:00.000-07:00

alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615709861433611170" />

So we put a bike together over the winter for an oilfield welder out west. (the bike on the right) The old man delivers the bike this spring and comes home with a tip from Scott. And a fuckin rad one at that!! This is his own hand made knife that he sent back for us! Hammer welded from a piece of high tensile cable (wire rope). Hard to photograph, but it has the most amazing grain pattern to it and is sharp as all hell... a real hand made piece of art, Thanks a million Scott, I love it!!

Oh, and that blacked out Pete doesn't suck either! Stopped at our buddy Lonny's place to tighten a chain and couldn't resist takin a pic. Nicest rig around these parts!

FREE CHEDDA!!!

2011-05-29T19:13:00.000-07:00

First time out..

2011-05-28T21:17:00.000-07:00

Just finished up this rehab sporty, or close enough we could ride it. I wanted to try the mid control foot clutch before powder coating it and I'm very pleased with how it works. We pretty much just reversed a stock brake pedal to act as a clutch pedal and made up a super short cable. We wanted to utilize as many stock parts to keep in the relm of a re-vamp and keep the budget in check.
This bike is being built for an amazing artist who is going to get down on the sheet metal with some free hand, brush painting. I can't wait to see the outcome...

By popular demand...

2011-05-16T20:16:00.000-07:00

In stock, as cast, ready to ship, hundred bucks!! We ship world wide. Get em before you can't get em...

Two of my favorite shovels of all time, both by Jeff Wright. Church Of Choppers!

Score!

2011-04-30T15:32:00.001-07:00

Spent yesterday moving some new (to us) machining equptment from the local community college! A big job (pallet jacks and hallways) made easier by some good friends. Thanks to the old man, Greener, Earnie and Ken!! Got the old stuff moved and new stuff set in place, now a full day of leveling, wiring and re-organizing. Then we will realize how much tooling we have that doesn't work anymore...ugh.

A sight gauge of course..

Todd's short chop

2011-04-26T05:32:00.000-07:00

Few more details of Todd's bike...100 inch, kick only, jockey shift five speed..
Cycle Boyz foot controls, shifter, oil tank, fuel tank, sissy bar, plate bracket, pipes, battery tray, motor mount, kicker pedal, air cleaner, etc..
I built the seat and tooled the leather, Raven did all the lacing and leather finishing.
Body and base by Assiniboine Collision,. Candy, leaf and stripes by FID!
Pics by Rheanon. Thanks guys! OH and gals!!

Fab

2011-04-25T15:20:00.000-07:00

Just some of the details on the sporty. Stock controls recycled to make jockey shift, and shifter with a double row sealed bearing. Unreal how much less lateral play there is in a double row bearing, well worth the extra couple bucks...
Stock sporty tank narrowed a hair, domed, ribbed, flat bottomed and frenched. Sight gauge, off set filler and low off set speedo. Ya ya, I don't like digital speedo's either, but the fact is they work good and are least obstructive when the bikes just sittin there..

Todd's bike done!

2011-04-24T15:55:00.000-07:00

Just buttoned up this little evo chop for another CowTown customer, just need some decent weather now to shake it down! Should be a super fun little bike..
Paint by FID!

More sharpie please..

2011-04-07T15:56:00.000-07:00

More sharpie went out for clear today. Gonna try a gloss black base with flat panels and have Fid pull a nice little stripe around em.. fingers crossed!

Sharpie Art on Nancy.. the girl's bike.

2011-04-06T06:08:00.001-07:00

Sharpie art by Jaimie Cousin. Took the clear very well but is still fading out a bit in the sun. We rode the bike most of last summer though and it's holding surprisingly well. We had Jaimie do some cabinet doors in our shop in full color that looked f'n amazing when she dropped them off, but when cleared totaly changed colors..still look great just not near as dark as the original work. Pics to come.

Knuckle pushrod tubes.

2011-03-31T19:49:00.000-07:00

Spun up some knuckle pushrod tubes to go with a set of our V2 collars for a customer that's having Accurate build him a killer knuck. Can't wait to see it done, they're on their way to Bama as we speak..
We did make a couple extra sets while we were at it, hit me up if your knuckle needs some spice.

Mr. Dress Up..

2011-03-23T06:14:00.000-07:00

Some brass pushrod cups for sale. Tons more fanciness available too, just tell us your flavour.. $100 and up. (way up for the V2 ones!)

I see Chad Pearson has a blog, I know it's probably old news but I was glad to find it! Good dude making good parts in the good old USA. Bullet proof springers to say the least... Check him out, he's another guy that will tackle anything metal fab related, and he gave me some bitchin pegs for our SharpieSporty that kick ass too!!

http://handcraftedmotorcycles.blogspot.com/

FUCK YA!!

2011-03-03T11:53:00.000-08:00

Pretty fuckin happy to be finally working on this thing.. Don't know why (and nothing against the full ground up customs we do) but it's so nice to be re-vamping another older HD. We defineatly have a soft spot for cone shovels, and sometimes it's just nice to take chicken shit and make chicken soup with it..
I hardtailed the stock frame and took 2 inches out of the VL forks. Also decided to drill them while they were apart to match up with the window'd neck..and because Ryan told me that 10 hole VL springers pull all kinds of chicks!! we'll see..

Shovel addiction...

2011-02-26T15:04:00.000-08:00

From this....

...to this...so far...

Another shovelhead rehab project for a good customer of ours in Alberta. Started with a nice clean FL we took on trade last fall. (fondly known as THE DRAGON SLAYER!!) Myles and I stayed late and got the frame hardtailed last night...finally...windowed the neck this morning and now it's go time! Gonna run a 19" front V-Rod wheel on the back with a Coker Diamond tread and one of our 23" spools up front with a Bridgestone on/off road tire. Probably going to have to cut down the re-pop VL springer and that's about all we've got nailed down..shootin straight from the hip on this one...

random

2011-02-24T15:40:00.000-08:00

Just stumbled across this pic on another blog. It's a shovel we transplanted to a Santee frame for a good buddy back in 04 or 05 I think, still going strong today...

Collars

2011-02-21T16:30:00.000-08:00

Greener spun up a bunch of brass pushrod collars.. a couple sets will get our V2 logo overlaid and a couple extra sets to play with..not to mention about 3lbs of nice clean brass chips to melt....I can see a cast brass "FOREVER TWO WHEELS" air cleaner in my future!

Frame work!

2011-02-17T10:55:00.001-08:00

Tons of framework piling up... three frames to hardtail, two of which are full builds, not enough time in the day...
Did get the rear section on Jeff's XS650 almost buttoned up. No swoopy, drop seat nonsense, just a nice simple "Brat Style" piece. Should be a cool little scooter!

Light er up!

2011-02-16T11:41:00.000-08:00

Just got in some real cool TT&Co head and tail lights. Headlights are 4.5" with a true halogen H4 bulb. In stock in both polished and black. $120.00
Mini warbirds are about a third of the size of the crappy and oh so overpriced originals... Super small and super bright, complete with three wire LED set up. $70.00

Sunday hangover...

2011-02-13T15:24:00.000-08:00

Darwin from Loki Photoghraphics came by today to shoot my shovel head in both outfits. (for the best motorcycle mag in the world) While I was switching out the tins and everything else he shot our sporty too.. hang over and no girls on the bikes..but other than that a pretty productive Sunday...

SHORT CHOP.

2011-02-08T15:59:00.001-08:00

A short evo chop that will be heading to Calgary this spring. 0 up, 0 out, 30* with an Acme springer. (super nice piece!) 100" evo, now kick only 5spd. We cut the starter ear off an 90-99 style trans so we would end up with a splined shaft and be able to use an Exile motor plate and bearing support. Turned out to be a real good combo for just a little extra machining... PM brakes front and rear with a foot clutch and mid-mount jockey shift. This thing is going to be a blast to ride and should be dead reliable!! More details on the fab work to come..

Just in and wheelie friendly!!

2011-01-19T13:59:00.000-08:00

Just got in a couple of these super skinny and oh so light 23" spool wheels.
23 x 1.6 polished alloy hoop laced to WARREN JR. hubs with stainless Buchanan spokes!
Nothin but the best, bitches!

Still workin out final pricing but get your request in, they'll go quick... more pics to come with definate pricing.

The devil...

2011-01-18T13:04:00.000-08:00

..is in the details.

Convoluted pipe dreams!

2011-01-13T10:12:00.000-08:00

Finally took the time to build some decent pipes for my shovel. I always planned on a rippled set, just wasn't willing to pay through the ass for the rippled pipe itself. I finally found a couple NOS pieces for a decent price and got to work, just a bit more metal finishing and off to chrome. Unbelievable the time it took to make such a basic looking system...and this rippled pipe contracts with the heat from the welding and makes a perfect fit hard to get..it also makes me swear and throw stuff....

Inside out pegs and cut down primary.

2011-01-08T14:56:00.000-08:00

Inverted mid controls to somewhat mimic the Kustom Tech hand levers. They need some final shaping but should get the job done. Also note the electric start primary that we cut down. Both inner and outer started as e-start pieces which we cut the starter hump off and filled in. A cool tin primary look that still retains the structure of a cast inner primary. Never seen this done before but I'm sure it has been...

Fucklehead!

2010-12-12T13:12:00.000-08:00

Delmo's single loop cone bottom/knuckle top project that he sent our way.. Very rad little bike but this engine has had us scratching our heads as well as banging them on the wall... Very tough thing to deal with when you have no idea how or even what was used in this "running motor".... Learned to assume nothing...ever.... That being said we'd love to do another from the crank up, there is no reason these engines can't work and work well.. just ask Lee.

Fid's lid..

2010-12-12T09:51:00.000-08:00

A new Fulmer Fid striped a while back for a customer/buddy of ours..

So we're waiting outside my son's classroom for a parent teacher interview, thumbing through some books that the class had made and come across this little dandy! How on earth did they know I like Lego and pizza?

Terry hates tires...

2010-11-14T13:05:00.000-08:00

Averages about 4 tires a year with a total mileage of about 34 miles...and on this night his bike was an 8 speed...

Never forget.

2010-11-11T17:21:00.000-08:00

Please, let us never forget the sacrifices made and those who made them, to allow us the freedom we enjoy... I don't have the words.. THANK YOU.

Front Door by Fid.......

2010-11-07T16:27:00.000-08:00

The front door gets some gold leaf love from the Fid! Pictures don't do it any justice, the gold and silver leaf look way better in person.. I'll post some more of Fid's work in a bit. The dude is good and a pleasure to deal with, hit us up if ya need him to stripe anything.

Master Deluxe

2010-11-06T07:42:00.000-07:00

The rough beginings of a little pan/shovel combo we built in about 06. Stock HD cone shovel cases, 74" rotating assembly with .010 over 80" cylinders that we took the bottom three fins off. STD heads and SU carb. The frame was built from three original Ford straight axles that we added some more curve to. Tons of help on this frame from a good friend Carlyle or I should say I helped him.. Stainless sleeves welded through the tank and Ludwig "Speed King" bass drum pedals for floor boards with a pulley/cable clutch which at that time we hadn't seen before.. Our plan was to nickel plate the frame on this bike and just paint the tank and fender but time didn't allow.. I want it back!

Warbird

2010-11-03T19:43:00.000-07:00

Some laser cut Warbird floorboards we did a few years ago with big intentions of selling them, made two prototypes, ran a set on a shop bike for a year then gave them to a buddy, and the second set sits on a shelf.. We can design and make some bitchin stuff but man we suck at follow through, you could say marketing is a weak point... Don't even think we took a pic of the finished set on a bike...losers..

STD Heads Wanted.

2010-10-27T16:46:00.000-07:00

Looking for STD Pan and Shovel heads. Good, bad, singles, bare, loaded, whathaveyou..

Tanked

2010-10-18T18:28:00.000-07:00

Modified CCI tank for a customer in the T.O. Handle bar recesses, Speedster cap, re-located petcock, filled front, frenched brass center piece, and trademark site gauge. Just a bit more sanding and some brass to polish and it's outta here, Thanks Patrick, keep us posted with the final result. (there is talk of some engraving...)

So Dad drops by the shop the other day and says "do you want that old go-cart from the farm?" Sure, I say, Rhett would love it. "Well it will be too big for him but Ryden could probably ride it."
Now, don't tell Rhett he can't ride something or he may just jump on, and rip the tire off it to prove a point... and this video wasn't staged, I turned around from unloading my dirt bike and he was mid-burnout!

John's long bike is done.
