The Suede Swede
This build we did using a Harley crate motor, and a pile of aftermarket parts. I think the only factory parts besides the motor were the forwards, the air cleaner, and the front caliper. All scrounged from the parts pile. The bike turned out great. An awsome highway cruiser. It has already gone on to a new owner in Augusta Georgia. A gal no less. I hope she enjoys it. We called it the "Suede Swede" for obvious reasons.
Here it is going together after powdercoating
Looking like a motorcycle, or at least a unicycle.
Late night at the shop trying to hammer this thing home.
So when you switch to reserve you have at least 100yds before you are out of fuel, so you better be down the block from the pumps or you are walking.

The Gasshole Bike
Here are several pics of the Original Gasshole Bike. Still my favorite. We have several more and always intend on posting but things have a way of getting put off.
Here is how it looked when we brought it home from "The Old Bike Shop"
After a little rehab starting to look like something I would ride.
New tank and fender fitted and further rehab.
Much nicer already.
Taking its spot in the stable. looks right at home.
Reconsedered the fender and built a custom piece instead of the flat fender we tried first.
Paint going down. We use Kustom Shop. Cheap and easy to spray.
After the copper and silver leaf lettering. All done in house at Gasshole Garage.

The Lace Bike
OG 48 frame, and right side case.
Left case is Alternator case from an early cone motor. The heads probably came from the same motor.
This is a 48' Panhead with shovelheads. The neck is raked @38 degrees.
Here it is when I brought it home. not terrible, but not Gasshole!
Here it is when I brought it home, and after tearing into it.
Sportster tank, and a set of raked trees to fix the steering geometry.
More Kustom Shop paint going on to make it easier on the eyes.
