SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: Imperial House

We goofed and forgot to add Imperial House to our long list of sponsor links, so we'll give Shawn a proper introduction!

Shawn is a busy man with a steady hand in Sparta, IL. He lays down the lines with a brush, not to mention custom lettering, and even throws don wqith some fab work!

We have alink to the Imperial House website to the right, Shawn also started a blog and you can check it our HERE

This Sunday See the Pan at the LB Swapmeet

We'll be in Space 701 at the end of a row in the back lot with teh Born-Free Panhead. You'll be able to see it, touch it, sit on on it and make engine noises while your friends take pictures, and of course buy tickets in person.

See you there!

Born Free Bound...

Alan is a misplaced Kiwi living in Canada..he has bought his Panhead posters/tickets and will be attending the show on his sweet Triumph. Hey Alan we will see you in June.....you better leave in May!

All work and no play...

well, we know how to do both. And sometimes when the work part isn't going smoothly you have to play a little.
Last Friday at the Chino Fab shop this little 50 got a workout. I think Mike got the long distance record, my butt still hurts from my last jump. The Tiny dancer had some good form too.
Oh yeah, we worked on the panhead too.






I thought this made a nice header for mike's BL blog:

Big Thanks To > Biltwell & Chop Cult

The guys from Biltwell {{ Bill & Magoo }} have been promoting & riding motorcycles,making parts,doing events and giving so much support to everyone who loves this stuff it's amazing.We are finding out that having a show the size Born Free is hard to do..really really hard! It's a full time job & we could not do it with out help...These guys help! Shows & rides like the Bash,Born Free & El Diablo are done for you !! not us.We are trying to get these bikes out on the road,seen in person and enjoyed like they should be...not just in a magazine or blog. These guys will have a Chop Cult & Biltwell booth at the show ..so please come out and meet them.

Born-Free Panhead progress

We hit it hard Friday night at the Chino Fab shop to sort out a few things on the Panhead. We got the handlebar/risers set, the headlight and taillight mounted, and worked on setting up the new 1 1/2" Primo belt drive and their sweet Primo Pro Clutch. A big thnaks goes out to Shawn Bronson, the man with a plan.
There was even some chain fall testing by Mike and Josh. Mike's belt held up, the chain on Josh's ankles wasn't the best idea.
