Updates have been sparse lately, due to a TON of crank and cams coming in, lots of forks, and the general work I do on a daily basis, I have been swamped! I’m not complaining. The Big Mountain Run is coming up VERY soon, and its the only thing “biker” I like to really make […]
My man John Dills is now taking on a few more paint jobs. If you are a really lucky and on the ball, you’ll get in on some of the sweetest paint coming out. You’ve seen his work in The Horse, Cycle Source, Wheels Thru Time Museum and plenty of others I’m sure… I’ve had […]
I got a few minutes to mock up my new ride! Found this old Motobecane Moped tank, thought it would fit just right… I’ve had my Dual Sport 80/20 tires mounted up for a little while now to the stock mag wheels. Tossed the rear into the frame, and mocked up the front right where […]
So you guys have seen Death By Wheel! which was a sorta kinda start to this newest build for MYSELF. Yes folks, I’m taking some time here and there to do something for me, and I’ve been planning this bike for a good long while. Well, those Death Wheels got their tires mounted up this […]
Always love to support the local talent, be it my painter’s, upholstery dudes, or brewmasters… Ashley Wesley did a little write up for the Carolina Rider on Hugh’s HandBuilt…. Thanks again Wesley! Interview with Carolina Rider

It has been worked on by some “Mechanic” up north, and now had a fubar’d carburetor and a blown headgasket. Dino and his roommate had been riding this thing around town regardless, even if it would only hit […]
I’ve been building an engine for a dude on the Chop Cult that goes by Jason H. He got ahold of me a while back, and now he’s getting a pretty sweet rephased engine for his chop project. He brought me a dead and beat down looking engine a few weeks ago, and brought his […]
The feller that does all the rad paint for “Wheels Thru Time” Museum, and this Sweet Shovel managed to squeeze in some time for the Survivor XS’s paint job. I might have to rename this bike “Trout Sandwich” since the paint makes me wanna go fishing with my favorite spinning lure… I’m in love […]
Well, I’m at it again. Several products are on the back burner right now as they are just to time consuming and you guys (and gals!) are keeping me busy. I’m not complaining. I have been drawing up a few battery boxes to get laser cut and I’ll TIG weld them together. These will be […]
What we have here is a used XS1/TX650 Big Bore kit. These are 79.6mm pistons, and came either on the extremely rare TX650 with factory 750 kit, or were installed as a dealer option. They are for engines with 22mm wrist pins ONLY. These are in great shape, with some extremely minor scuffing on the […]
