Our custom 40's Bobber(finally)

Finally after much measuring, cutting, design work, back to drawing board, and head scratching, we have the Bobber on its wheels.  Not road ready yet, but cosmetically finished, and ready for display.

Brand new bike reliability, but with our own custom shops design to take a trip back to the 1940's.  Guaranteed to fill a hole in someones life very soon.

The Birthday weekend is upon us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, its busy here in Harleyland.
The tenth birthday celebrations are underway, we have a band warming up, Elvis gettin dressed as we speak, and loads of custom bikes, great deals and food.
Head down....NOW!
Anyway, a sneak preview of the day:

Been quiet, what we been doing?

Well, not had much to post this last few weeks, had a busy month getting bikes outa the door, parts for our 120cu engine have JUST landed from Harley, so that will be hitting the streets soon, our custom parts are all back in house, and another 110cu motor is nearly finished.
So whats next?

Anyone out there got a stage one'd sportster that is feeling a little ....mundane.......?
Anyone wanting a little 'more' out of their 48?

We're working on it........

Just when you thought things had gotten big enough.....

Well, we have done all the worlds 1690 kits this winter, just branching into the heady heights of 110-113 kits, when suddenly.......

Yeah, this week, we have sold two 120 cube motors!!!!
yup, 120 cubic inches, 1966cc in new money!

Its the screaming eagle hand built engine which was gracing the showroom, and now it, and another just like it, are going to be fitted into the bikes of two of our customers who clearly want their smiles widening ready for summer!

Who would have thought it!

the next stage

All you need to decide is wether to go for the 110 kit, or the 113. Big bore throttle body supplied with the 113 kit, not so with the 110.
We can fit it for you, we can just bore the crankcase for you to fit your own, and for a small fee we can remove the cat from the exhaust to gain maximum flow(assuming you are using slip on race cans)
Also, check out the pipes on our demo bikes, original style, but Screaming eagle performance. Call for a price.

All that remains is to go ride the thing, especially since the weather seems to be sorted!

and more(you want one yet?)

 Harleys beautiful orange anodised engine jig.

 Setting the machining depth......sooo careful, you only get to cut once!

And engine back in, rebuilt, carefully fitted to avoid frame or casing damage.

some more big boring pics....

 Massive valve Screaming eagle cylinder head.

 Artistic shot.....bear with me.

 Crankcase out, and stripped on bench

Crank out, put that away safe for later......

What we been doin? seems a long time since the last post.....

Well, as we appear to have become the Norths leading supplier of Big bore piston kits for Harleys, we have been branching out into the next stage, the 110, or 113 kit.  Yup, 1800cc or more of fun.
Lets face it, we have done so many 1690 kits, people are gonna start asking for more pretty soon(we already have an eager customer for our 120 cube motor!)
So, the next step is the 110, or 113 cube family.
Bit more work this time, you need to drop the motor, strip out the crank, and with our new specialist kit, open out the crankcase mouths for the mahooosive barrels and pistons to drop into.
Once machined out with surgical precision, the motor is built back up by our piston wrangling gurus, and the bike finished off.  A few miles(read lots) of bedding in, and the motor is ready to be opened up.

Well

Ive been lucky enough to break it in, and the torque is awesome.  Instant drive, and lots of it.
Next week we will be looking at the de-catted manifold(fancy one of those anyone?) to squeeze the last few Lb/ft out of it.

OK, it aint gonna be cheap, but if your mate has just bought a big bore, mebbe its time to crank it up to the next level?? Bit like Marshall amps, turn it up to ELEVEN!
