Brad and I were working in the shop the other day when we got on the subject of how loosely the words “bobber” & “chopper” are thrown around today. I’ve met people that took the front fender off their Sportster and called it a bobber like it was a stripped down Knucklehead. And, I’ve met…

This 1922 Harley Davidson JD stole the show for me at the Frankensteiners’ Ball last Sunday. There weren’t many bikes there, but the ones that showed face were all unique with this being the icing. I had the opportunity to meet John, the owner, and get some stories on its life.…

Harley Choppers in Minnesota – Adding a Steed to the Stable
With December about to close its doors for the year I had to get it in gear and find something more than a front end to call my chopper build and ride to Born Free 5 in the spring. Justin reached out to the St. Paul crowd through Zac Doom from Heavy Clothing and got…

Harley Davidson Springer Front Ends – 45 OEM versus Repop
I picked up a 45 springer front end, like the one pictured above on Flathead Jedd’s bike, for my winter project. I dig on springers, but know very little about them and there is an incredible amount to know if you want to be dangerous at a swap meet or just not be an ignorant…

Discovery Channel Biker Build-Off 2012
Discovery wrapped up another reality TV biker build-off to appease the couch-potato outlaws and kick-start their arteries. They grabbed 4 players from the group and allowed/sent them each in a direction of their own. The junior Teutel was building a car-themed bike built for the show-lot, which is geared toward the fans that prefer their…
