Love client photographs like these.....

Sometimes when I do work for clients, I never see the end results of their projects, and that's OK. Other times I get to see where my modifications fitted in on the finished bike. Shawn just sent me a couple of photos of his finished bike, but first.....

This is what Shawn brought me to start with - a Chassis Design Co. "Bling Cycles" drop-seat frame. Shawn had a couple roadblocks to get around to use this frame in his next build. First, he didn't have enough ground clearance, and  second, he needed room for his 135" Evo stroker motor that was being assembled.

So I cut the frame in half, raised the entire backbone 1 1/2", took the deep drop seat section out of the back, and shortened the entire rear section 2" while I was at it. I also put a pocket into back of the transmission plate to tuck in a 16 cell Antigravity battery.

Here's the roller I turned over to Shawn. No, Shawn isn't disappointed, it was just a cold-ass day, with a snow storm blowing  in on the horizion. Plus, Shawn wanted to load up and head out....can you blame him?

Before it left here, I aligned the drivetrain for him, relocated/remounted his CDC oil tank,  made the mounts for his 5 gal. fatbobs, set the rear fender and seat, fabbed the sissy bar, and made one of my "Heavyweight Champ" tail light/license plate frames.

Shawn took his roller home, and this is how the bike finished off. It's a killer fatbob with a great stance, and Shawn did a fantastic job on completing the bike. The fit & finish is top shelf. The paintwork is another class job from Motorsport Concepts here in town. Same shop that did Lumpy's CFL, from below. Motorsport Concepts also has Deb's rear fender right now color-matching it to her tanks, you'll see the rest of her final put-together coming up real soon on here as well.

In this shot you can see the sissy bar, and my "Heavyweight Champ" tail light/license plat mount. The 135"er has plenty of room to slide in and out now, but the dimensions aren't "over the top" to do it.

Shawn has another frame that you might remember me doing for him at the time I modified this one - that's the Shovel 4speed swingarm frame I filtted the Evo motor into, along with the matching Softail 5 speed trans & primary. I 'm looking forward to seeing that completed as well. Thanks for the final photos, Shawn, I appreciate it. Job well done!

We need a couple of these.....

OK, myself and Part-timer Steve need two good OEM INLINE rear spring perches. BT or 45 OK. The rest of the leg can be bent, mangled, stem cut out, etc. As long as the spring perch itself and above is good. Email me at: irishrich@shamrockfabrication.com

And, Lumpy rode his bike home last Sunday........

Lumpy was all smiles. That says everything.....

Lumpy's chrome showed up Friday......

......so we wasted no time assembling his springer, and getting the bike up on its own two wheels.

The wiring is finished, and all systems are GO! Kinda like a blivit. What's a blivit? 10 pounds of shit, in an 8 pound bag....it all fit, though, with enough space left to do his electric speedometer hookup.

Now, if I can figure out the pesky hydraulic clutch setup, we're all finished. I suspect a hung-up puck in the cover. Before I installed the cover, I took the puck out, lubed the bore, puck, and O rings with DOT 5, to avoid this. We'll see on Tuesday, I'm swapping trans and rear sprockets for Kyle tomorrow.

And, Lumpy's bike, too.....

Lumpy's bike is just about done, too. We're waiting on his chrome - namely his top motor mount, and his front fork for his springer.....

Lumpy's sissy bar. I thought chrome, but Lumpy went with the same 80% gloss black as his frame is. Good call on his part. The sheetmetal is gloss black, with maroon 'flake panels, with a lot of different goldtone flakes mixed in, silver pinstripes. Motorsport Concepts did the spritz...

The cover I did for his electrical compartment. A little flash under the seat......

And....here's where we sit, waiting on the chrome front fork, so I can put his springer together. Check out the seat - I hammered out the seatpan, then the Haifley Bros. did the upholstery. They killed it....I can't wait to get this bike out in the sun, the paint just doesn't come through in the photos.
