Rob stopped in to pick up his yamaha cafe racer. Bennelli tank and kz750 front end. Really fun to ride!
We're thinking it might be time to build a sportster like this....you never know.
Also notice how rob's head dwarfs that huge helmet!

WHAT'S NEW?
We've been busy finishing off our season so the updates have been slow coming.
Also doing a ton of work on our online store. New, used and one off parts to come!
Here's a few pics of what's new in our world.
The updates will be coming more regularly from now on....lots of great stuff in the works!

This Ventura highway leads to Iron & Resin

| Iron & Resin is the new USA cool |
Iron & Resin in Main Street, Ventura, California is a cool place. Opened on July 4th (American Independence Day) this year, the store facade is similar to Mid Life Cycles – a big door opening from the street into the showroom. Except here the bikes are fewer in number and there to draw attention to the merchandise – T-shirts, jackets, retro-style Bell open face helmets, books, posters, badges and much more, including surf gear. Three bikes including the owner’s recently-restored 1950s Triumph twin and an early Honda Dream 305 are just enough to attract the “right” crowd, those who appreciate classic style.
I&R co-founder Thom Hill is equally able to chat with the old codgers who remember his Triumph when it was showroom-fresh while also talking to the visitors who are new to classic bikes. Thom says he "knows the Deus guys" who’ve also recently opened a store in Los Angeles, an hour or so south of Ventura. I&R's staff are friendly and helpful and obviously enjoy the place's funky mechanical style. For more: http://www.ironandresin.com/blog

Chopping a chopper seat.
Dissasembled and rebuilt this Canadian forces helicopter seat. Nice to do something different once in a while.
Replaced all the main components that move the seat vertically, and repaired the rest to slim the mechanism down. Odd ball aluminum tubing meant a ton of machine time and planning...whats not to love.
Before and after pics speak for themselves I think.
Thanks Scott!
