New Greasy Kulture

In a possible lapse of judgement, Guy at Greasy Kulture decided to put me and my shovel on the cover of his new issue. I am flattered, but i hope sales don't suffer!
It is cool though because a lot of little details have changed on my bike since i first got it on the road a few years ago like the bars/risers, made a new seat, the tin primary, fully rebuilt motor, etc...pretty proud of my old shovel and what it is now. It was all i had to work with for a few years. Photos by Mark Kawakami of Joyrides and Speed Merchant 

Anyway, thanks Guy! I can't wait to see it. CLICK HERE for the Greasy Kulture site.

Tomorrow! Party at the Garage Company!

In case you haven't heard we are having a party at the Garage Company tomorrow for the debut of both the '69 Harley Shovelheads that will be given away June 30th at Born-Free 4!
One is a stocker and one is a chopper baby, see them both tomorrow. The party goes from 2-8pm at the Garage Company 956 West Hyde Park, Inglewood, CA (right off the 405 and La Cienega). Free food and drinks thanks to Loser Machine AND some lucky SOB will take this Lowbrow Customs peanut tank with a fresh Far Out paint job by the illustrious Harpoon! All you had to do to win is buy a poster/ticket combo for the bikes in the last month and it could be yours. Of course you can still enter at the party.
See you tomorrow!

One is everywhere, one is not

In a city surrounded by water and ever-increasing in size, it's not a real big surprise to find these. I don't like them.



These on the other hand, are few and far between. I know it's all about flatheads right now, but damn it, I'm way behind and still want a Knuckle!

Strike a pose

Caught the born loser and his scarlet lady pre-unit in this giant piece of broken glass behind the cycle lodge...blue steel.

Gen Shovelhead primary for sale

Got a 1966, 1967, 1968, or 1969 (could be a '65 pan too I guess) inner and outter primary setup for sale. Not too bad, little things like the floorboard tab is shaved, little road rash on the bottom back corner of the inner like they all have, and chain wear under the starter mounting area like they all have.

You could also put this on most any generator motors to run electric start bi had a '55 pan/shovel set up this way that was cool.

1977

Mike sent in another shot from Fresno circa '77. The more I look at it the more I like it. So glad I got this tank. May have to build something like it one day.

Cast Morris mag cover for sale

Sold, waiting on a money order...

I was gonna put this on my orange Shovelhead but it has been two years and runs like a top so I am selling this early Morris cast cone shovel magneto base. It's got an auto advance base and even the illusive cam gear is there! I had it polished in preparation to put on my bike but you can look good with it on yours!
Email grant@getchoppedout.com to buy

I've always liked this one

This has always been one of my favorite Triumphs. I snagged the pic. a while back at the second Born Free. Wonder how long this bike has been up-and-running in this form now?

WR style tanks for sale

Well, as much as i hate to say it, these WR style tanks are up for grabs. I'm not going to use them on the UL after all and can't afford to keep em. They are old 45 tanks made to look like WR tanks, but these actually came off an old race bike from McGuire's HD in the bay area from way back. They were even painted harley orange at some point. They are done well for being old and most likely gas welded. Super neat and narrow and cost way less than real WR tanks or even the Polish repops. email grant@getchoppedout.com to buy




 

For sale

Sold
This late panhead/early Shovelhead swing arm is for sale. It is an easy and good looking swap for later shovelheads. I believe it lowers the bike 2-3" from the square swing arm. I had this on my orange shovel before I hard tailed it. It comes with the axle, spacers, and late model harley caliper which I modified to run with this setup. I also welded mounts to it for a fender and sissy bar so they would hug the tire on a swing arm bike.
