77 FLH and 45 flathead 4-sp build update






Here is the current progress on these two bikes. The shovel will be finished soon. It's a bike for my book keeper and we are keeping it on a low budget so when finished he can decide what he wants to change at an additional cost of course. The 45 bike will take much longer as the customer wants a show bike. At this point we are close to the mock up being finished and will move to rebuilding the motor and adding the lipstick to the parts.

Old-Stf truckin again.... Barn Find




Recent find of two pans, one big twin flatty, one knuck and a couple hummers. Sweet.

Next bikes on the rack




Here is the start of a couple bikes. First is a flathead 45 "custom" "bobber" with some pretty cool stuff in the works. Second is a 1977 Shovelhead FLH "original custom" ?? I say mostly original parts with a few changed up and non original finishes sorta like our 1935 vld. Check back please !

The Early Days of Old-Stf

Well Mike's been pretty swamped lately, so I'm trying to fill in for him here for a bit, lol. Business is definitely picking up. Man, you get that little bit of sunshine peeking out and all the bikers crawl out of the woodwork! Mike's having a hard time keeping up with all the orders, shipping is backed up, and everyday someone's calling with something they want/need/have questions about. Which brings me to a couple nights ago; Mike and I were looking through the hundreds of photos we have on the computer, and we came across photos of the shop in its beginning stages. Take a look, it's a trip to see how far the shop has progressed in a couple years. We could actually fit the hot rod inside!

Wow, remember when we could fit a couch inside?

Pre-lathe area

Back when we had room for bikes

One of the very first photos - we had green carpet for cryin' out loud

Check out all the empty space!

Well, that was then, this is now:






It's so packed now you almost want to go out one door and all the way around to the other door just to avoid walking through everything. Hope you enjoyed the trip down memory lane!
