John Grant of Hard Tail Choppers just sent me this pic of a frame he has been thinking about for a while. It's a hard tail loop frame made with all of his castings.That's when you know you got it right. I've been waiting to see this thing for a while. His blog has more build pics. http://www.hardtailchoppersblog.com/2011/09/denniss-wishbone-frame.html
Brand new part. Dyna rear brake bracket. Made in China. Axle wouldn't even go through. Only .050" off. Close enough I guess. Good thing I got the tools to fix it. This is an example of my two favorite sayings. "You get what you pay for." and "Pay now or pay later" This guy got both. He got the "right price" up front but had to pay later to make it right. The lesson here is Buy American.
As a second generation bike builder I caught the bug at an early age. Although my father didn't build bikes for a living, he built many over the years.
After graduating from Motorcycle Mechanics Institute in 1991 I was hired by a custom motorcycle builder, Johnny Pag. While employed at Biker Dream my duties included, engine work, wiring, mock up, and installing lots of chrome and high-end paint jobs. While working with Johnny Pag at Bikers Dream, I helped create bikes for guys like Billy F Gibbons (ZZ Top), Terry "Hulk" Hogan, Paul Tracey (Auto Racer), Brian Downing (Angels), Chuck Finley(Angels), Bo Jackson (Raiders/Royals) and Kevin Greene(Rams/Steelers/Panthers). One of which was featured in Hot Bike magazine (Nov. 1997). After Johnny left Bikers dream to start Patriot Mfg. in '00 I went to work for Patrick Racing as a CNC operator for several months while Pag was getting set up. When Pag left to start Pagsta mini Harleys I stayed to help Alex Mardikian (now Von Dutch Kustom Cycles) refine the production process. At Bob Taylor’s motors in Huntington Beach I worked on new Harley's, old Shovels, Pans, Iron Heads, and learned as much about engine building as I could.
