RetroFit Cycle Works


Decisions... decisions... I managed to find the original style springer the Voodoo Child once had, same length and all. I sold the original one about 10 years ago and recently began to regret it. I'm really surprised in found another. Don't let the shiny appearance fool you, this thing is fucked which I'm not happy about. I knew there were repairs but the guy failed to tell me it was bent... major springer overhaul in the future. For now I'm just happy it exists. #xs650chopper #SIEspringer #voodoochildvia Instagram

RetroFit Cycle Works


This is probably one if the most amazing and sentimental Christmas gifts I have ever received. My girl @miss_mundy gave me a hard cover book coffee table book covering every single bike I've owned, past and present, along with many other great photos I've forgotten about over the years. Yeah I cried, mission accomplished babe. #mindblown #bestgfever #shesakeepeervia Instagram

Turns out our new cat Spliffy, made herself a kitteh tent. She seemed right at home. Until she started clawing the seat, then I kicked her out. Sorry Spliff... #russianblue #chopperkitteh #kitten #voodoochild #xs650

via Instagram http://ift.tt/2enoBK9The sidecar cb750 motor cleaned up pretty nice. New rings and gaskets she'll be ripping off the bias plys off those VW rims soon enough. Fun story, turns out I was lied to over 10 years ago that this was an 836 motor. It's not, totally stock bore BUT has a cam from a '69 motor. So that explains why it's so snappy, so it's not all bad. It pulled the sidecar just fine. Just needed a little freshening up. #cb750 #thehack #stieb

via Instagram http://ift.tt/2diTO6RSometimes when you want things done right you gotta... leave it to the old timers. Huge thanks to Mike Johnson who rebuilt my F100 trans after it got locked up for the 2nd time. Me doing just the input shaft and synchros wasn't enough. Mike did a fantastic job bringing this trans back to new with NOS parts. Send me a DM if you need any Ford 3 speed transmission work, I'll put you in contact with him. #F100 #theredfang #3speed #manual #rebuild
