Brass Buckles

Posted 24th February 2013 at 04:15 by 62 Ironhead

I found a local leather craftsman as I wanted to get all the stainless buckles and rivets changed over to brass on my solo and tool bags.

He did an awesome job, thanks to David from DSM Leather.

Front Brake Disc Rotor all trued up

Bobber Trick Seat

Posted 27th January 2013 at 16:46 by 62 Ironhead



Whilst I love the brass luggage rack I made up for my build, it is not really suited to be used as a seat so I decided to make up a quick install passenger seat.

Ist Step was to find some black rubber hose that I could fit over the brass rods on my luggage rack to prevent them from getting scratched. Used some black fuel line hose and cut it...

Fitted up a brass spinner oil cap, had to custom make an adapter to suit.


Roller almost done, just some wiring left now.
