EVO SPORTSTER FABRICATION FINISHED!!

That was a lot!! i have only shown you half of

what was need to to be fabbed on this bike.

Well tomorrow it all gets ripped to pieces as 

everything goes to get sandblasted, polished, 

chromed, parkerised, and power-coated.

7 SECTIONS, 5 HOURS & FINALLY 1 EXHAUST

The last big job was the exhaust, i always find it 

difficult to build something thats floating in mid air.

I just need to clean-up the joints.....

TWO FOR THE SHOW, THREE TO GET READY

More bits and pieces....

CHOPPING & FABING, CHOPPING & FABING...

I am getting down there with the pile of fabrication 

on this bike, I have so much respect for the serious 

professionals like the late Indian Larry and Jessie James 

who build everything from scratch. You have to think

Harley -Davidson have a huge team of designers and

millions of dollars for the design research, 

and that is simply not the case for those guys.

Design taken from an Indian battery and fender support,

so of course it is way over built.

MOTO RIVISTA FEATURE

Sorry guys but this will be the last time i blow

my own trumpet this week i promise.

Jake over at MOTO RIVISTA has done a small

feature on the Full-dresser i finished in June.

So please check it out if you have the time.

Copenhagen based Customs from Jamesville has it all Hotrods, shows and custom motorbikes. Building “Old School” custom bikes or restoring something like this ‘1956 FL Panhead‘ is what James does on a daily basis.

RE-INVENTING THE WHEEL (WELL THE BRAKE)

I try to avoid re-inventing major operating parts of a 

bike and stick to what was tried and tested by

Harley, but in some circumstances you just have to..

This bike/engine was born with a disc brake

on the rear but i am going with a drum.

So i completely started from scratch, from

the anchor plate all the way to the brake pedal.

EL DIABLO MAGAZINE FEATURE

I don't really do languages, i moved to Denmark seven

years ago and i still have not learnt Danish. But if you

speak Spanish (which i do not) you should check 

out this article written about me in a spanish magazine.

I used Google translator and i think they are saying nice things?

EL DIABLO - JAMESVILLE GARAGE

OLD TANK, NEW TANK

This tank is from an old Danish moped, and the steel was

rusty and old which makes it a lot harder to work on.

The tunnel was 4" too high at the front and  2" at the back,

so a little body work was needed which is not my

favorite past time but 10 hours later its finished and is

not leaking which really helps your gas milage!! 

ORGANIC LAMP BRACKET

To match the headlight bracket i wanted to

create a molded style bracket for the rear

light, and here is what i came up with...
