Anonymous asked: Hi, I'm starting to develop a passion for customized vintage motorcycles. Via Google I found your Tumblr page and I'm very impressed by the motorcycles you build. I haven't got my motor drivers licence yet. But I'm planning on getting one soon. I very much love the '78 Yamaha XS500 Bobber Custom you built. I was just wondering, just for a reference, what a motorcycle like...

Anonymous asked: I think your bikes are nothing short of incredible, all trophy worthy, especially the Copper Devil, and recently the Bullitt, was wondering if you'll be carrying your T-shirts in XX-large anytime soon?
taylorhaydenhill asked: I've been following your blog for a while. My buddy just gave me his project xs650 and its all in pieces and needs the frame to be welded but all the parts cut out. This is going to be my first bike build. What pointers would you give a 18 building his first bobber? P.S. I loved your XS650 with the mustang tank . Blue rear white wall. It was amazing.

ghostdrifter asked: have some comments and questions about the Yamaha XS400 - "The Classic". first question is how did you eliminate the battery or what battery did you use and where is it hidden? second is did you rake the front end at all... or that my eyes tricking me? I have a 80 xs400 that I find your build to be very inspirational. its really slick. Oh, what jetting did you use to run with open...
Anonymous asked: I stumbled across your blog about 6 months ago, and have been following ever sense! I am so stoked on all of the bikes you restore and build. You price them extremely reasonably, cheaper than any other vintage custom rebuilder. I wanted to pick your brain on a build im working on right now. I acquired a suzuki gn400, and haven't seen many customized ones out there. Any advice on what I could...
Anonymous asked: I noticed a customer had a xs650 that you did with a xs500 swingarm and wheels. I did that swap also, but It looks like the countershaft and rear sprocket might not align perfectly. What did you do to remedy this?, or is it even a big deal. I recently reinstalled my 650 swingarm, and I'd have to make spacers on both sides of the wheel and I still have a sprocket alignment issue. I'd...
