Just wanted to give a quick intro for any that might not know me.

Not sure what to say really, I live in Colorado, build and paint customs and HDs. Been doing this for many years really. Got a website and all that good stuff, but I'll get to that later. Never like to post it up immediately, just seems like spam to me.

Anyway if you have any paint and build questions, that's what I'm good at. I'll likely surf around the forums here and answer questions and such, probably ask a few too.

Working on a strange little Kawasaki chopper that's baffling me a bit, so maybe someone out there speaks Kaw?

Right on, I'll be around.

Ride safe all.

Welcome to the forum. Post some pics of your work if you want. Im sure other would love to see it.

Cool, I'll have some recent photos coming in the next few weeks here. In the shop right now I'm working on a '79 Shovel chopper, the odd little '84 Kaw, a mid '40s Knuck (that was chopped circa '60s I'm guessing) and doing some resto work on a '41 Indian.

Aside from this, just painting some odds and ends for customers. Tanks, fenders and such.

I'll be building some tins for the Shovel and Kaw in the next month so I'll be sure to do a little write-up for everyone here.

For now I have some pics on the website. Couldn't fit all the pics so I posted the pics that kind of stood out in my opinion. I'll get some more posted up in here for everyone as time allows.

The site: Home

Take care and talk to you soon.

Just starting it at the moment. Actually its going to be an ethanol street bike when I'm done. Its a Kaw LTD 550. Shaft driven, sort of goofy looking in stock form, but I'm going to turn it into a hybrid bobber/digger. Rigid tail too.

Have to finish a couple customer projects, but I anticipate starting the new frame for this middle of this month. I'll definitely do a write up.
