Does Your Knucklehead Have A Custom Tool Bag?

Got a 37' Knucklehead in your shop, well Hodge does and now a custom tool bag to grace the bike being built

Doing custom work for a variety of clientele is an absolutely great feeling. Much of the leather work is done via etsy or just the random email coming in through facebook or friends of friends passing the word around. Needless to say, we can't thank every single customer enough and looking forward to all the projects rolling through the shop doors daily.

Some Days We All Just Need A Bit More Porn

Lowered and with a perfect stance, damn beautiful Dyna

Some days we all could use just a bit more porn in our lives, make that bike porn...

"The show took place on March 2, 2013 at the same place as last year, the amazing old building from the early 1800′s that used to be an old steel mill. But once again we rolled in another kind of massaged steel; choppers, bobbers, custom bikes and even a few vintage races. So enjoy these great pictures taken by Wictor Bergqvist of www.mandit.org."

Need A Winter Shovelhead Project Bike?

1974 Shovelhead Superglide ready for a new project

Many times while wanting to search for parts or potential projects, I wake up early and start to scour ebay for random ideas. After running across much over priced items and or things that just seem too good to be true, then a potential gem pops up. If you are in need of a Shovelhead project bike to be ready for 2014, this gem might fit the bill.

Link to ebay listing

 "I'm selling my 1974 Harley SuperGlide Shovelhead.  Original frame, motor trans, I'm not sure what else.  Bike starts on the second kick, or immediately with the electric start.  I bought this bike from a local shop a few months ago but I cant afford to keep her.  Title is clear with matching numbers.  She runs good and rolls smooth.  Motor was redone about 500 miles ago, and she runs strong.  I've got a video below of her starting and running.  Give me a call at (239) 961-0732 if you have any questions."

More detail on the motor and trans

A Sportster Crafted Into A City And Trail Prowler

Damn it can be quite refreshing to see a bike that was never intended to go in a certain direction, be completely reconfigured and revamped into another form of road beast. This here Sportster, that I was shown around the side of the building by my buddy Wes goes above and beyond in the cool department. Instead of just adding a hard tail to an older Sportster a much more unique plan was conceived and carried out. Great looking bike and well put together build.

Sportster re-envisioned to hit the trails

1942 Civillianized Harley Davidson WLA, True Original Barn Find

"You are looking at a 1942 Harley Davidson WLA barn find. . . It has been civillianized as you can see, not all parts are for a 1942, but most everything is original Harley Davidson parts. I was going to get it unstuck, make it run & ride it as is, but unfortunately i have to part with it. It comes to the new owner with a clean title, & unaltered VIN pad, which matches the title as a 1942 Harley WLA.

Look closely at the pictures, it has the original Goodyear super eagle tires (poor condition) that hold air, it rolls nicely, the throttle works, the spark advance is movable, but needs cleaned/greased. The front brake works, has big twin rockers & brake assembly, the rear brake is free & works as well. Has 16" KH wheels, inline springer fork, correct M88 Linkert. 

Tanks look to be in good usable condition with the usual cleaning. Did not get to play with the motor or trans. The transmission fill plug is wired to the handlebar, as i received it. I was going to pull & rebuild the motor & trans & ride it as is because it is only original Harley once! Forced to part with it, but now you have a chance to build your dreams. I can be reached at slim42wl @ gmail for more pics or direct questions. Sorry, no off site deals or negotiating!"

1074 Miles And Good Times At the Buckeye Bash

Our riding crew consists of quite a few folks from varying states and we are only able to get together a few times a year. Starting in late July every summer we are now having a summer run up to the great state of Ohio called the Buckeye Bash. Looking forward to 2014 when we also a big music blowout on the Saturday night at Tootles in Circleville, OH. 

Check out some more of the pics on our flickr page.

The Horse Smokeout 2012

Another Smokeout has come to pass and more good times and memories were made. One aspect of the show that we always enjoy the most is running into a plethora of friends from around the country. The show is always full of amazing bike builds and the party goes on for multiple days.

We have a few gripes though and they are easy fixes. With the amount of money and mass of folks that show up, why can they not get better bands as they have in the past. The last few years have been a joke for music. Why have an AC/DC cover band on a Saturday night, when they could easily afford many other bands playing original music that would go over huge and actually pull more folks in for the event. If they want to grow the event, they need to really think over what bands they are hiring for the main stage.

Another issue that didn't sit too well with us is if you see someone shooting photos of a bike that has setup a shot, don't try to side bust the photo and claim that since you work for a magazine that you can just get by with it. Be cool and ask the individual who owns the bike, if you can get some shots as well. Have some damn manners and artistic integrity with your work, will take ya much further for the long haul.

1970 Harley Davidson Custom Sportster Flat Tracker

This sweet, low and tight Ironhead is currently up for bid on ebay, get over there and check it out. Dude wants cash in hand for the bike so be ready for a deposit. looks to be a great low budget bike for good times.




"Up for bid is a 1970 ironhead chopper/ratrod aptly named The Kwakster. the bike looks old, but make no mistake it is a fresh build. its rough tough, and dirty as i intended it. inspired by the raw awesomeness of the flattrack and baordtrack bikes. the motor is mostly rebuilt with a complete top end bored .040" over with forged pistons. completely rebuilt the cam chest with all new bushings, and shims, and installed high performance P-cams. bike is pretty darn quick. went through the transmission, and put all new clutches as well. 

bike is hardly broken in, ive put under 200 miles on it since. completely rebuilt the kicker with all new gears and bushings. kick works very good. has working electric start as well (thou i never use it) with brand new jack shaft gear. brand new solid state voltage regulator, new gel battery, new brushes in the generator, and a complete rewire. bike uses no key, only a hidden very high quality, rubber sealed, made in the U.S.A. on off switch. the carburetor on this bike is a retro-fitted, Italian made dellorto. very premium expensive carb. simelar to a round slide makuni, but with an accelerator pump. the oil tank is a 60's Mercedes coolant over flow tank that i converted with an old triumph gas cap. works perfectly. made out of brass, these things look really cool polished up as well, but keeping with the ratty theme i decided to leave the original patina. all new oil lines, an oil cooler, and an oil filter mounted to the front motor mount. the vintage brass fire extinguisher under the seat is one of my trade marks. its now a tool box to house the necessary tools that any vintage bike should have on it (demonstrated in video). 

The hardtail is a K-model style tig welded with the continuous loop around the axle plates which is way better, and cooler looking in my opinion. quite a bit more expensive than your standard hardtail as well. the exhaust i custom made out of aluminized steel j'bend header tubing. the gas tank im not real sure what model it came of of, i think its a 70's enduro. this feature really throws people for a loop. i love it. tank has no rust inside. the seat is off of a 60's Sears brand bike, very cool. its very springy, and for those long rides im including a nice thick gel seat cover. the wheels are straight with a new set of bridgestone t/w tires, and tubes. they are all terrain tires, very well suited for road, and look killer. the handlebars are two peice with wrapped hockey tape for grips. 

If you noticed theres no brake lever on the bars. thats because i fabricated a dual action brake pedal to operates both the front (hydraulic disc), and rear (drum) brakes. i did this because i hate having a big ol brake cylinder muckin up a cool set of handlebars. the mechanism is fully adjustable in either direction. for normal braking you always want to lead with the rear brake. thats how i have it set now. when braking normally its mostly rear with a little front, but if you push harder it will stop on a dime utilizing the full capabilities of the front brake, and rear brake. the tail light is a early 70's old xs650 blinker that i gutted, and refitted dual filament lighting. both brake and running lights work well. the points cover is a blinker lens. due to the heat, and its vintage nature it has cracked, so you might need a new one soon. i may have another lens i can give you, or a standard points cover, theyre very inexpensive. the battery box i fabricated out of some angle iron, and covered it with a cool vintage (antique) TN licence plate. i think thats about it. feel free to ask any questions, i will answer very promptly in most cases."
