Screw On or Screw Off

I've been using various designs of machined, screw-on, gas caps on my builds. There were a lot of people asking  Where? How? and How much? I've decided to put two designs on the block. And here they are...

Both designs come with vent holes and an O-ring to prevent leaks. The Bungs are designed to fit into the stocks tank openings of most Indian (Royal Enfield, Yamaha RX/RD series, TVS-Suzuki) motorcycle tanks. Although if you have the Aircraft filler type (Bajaj Pulsar, Hero Honda CBZ etc) cap, this won't work as a direct fit.

After installation...

The Screw-on caps will be on sale in the web-shop soon, but if you can't wait, write to me with your questions.

India Bike Week

India Bike Week promises to be a great festival (the will have a bikini bike wash-first in India) for motorcyclist and will be happening on 2-3 Feb 2012. It was kicked off yesterday with a  fun launch party where there was everything from a beautifully restored Manx Norton and an AJS from 90 years ago, to the K1300 and a trike. There was a little corner for customs bikes and that corner spot was occupied by a couple of choppers and four, yes four motorcycles built by me. Oh well did i say the beer was free and there were a bunch of old friends to laugh with and at. Here are some pics. Hope to see all of you folks in Goa soon.

A Bike For A Bike

It's very rare that you get to build yourself a motorcycle when you're so busy trying to build one for somebody else. This time it happened. Wish it could be each time...

If you recall, we'd posted about a motorcycle called Rusty that came to us some time ago. Well we're almost done with it. Go ahead, wet yourself with the preview... Full-on pics going slideways coming soon!

A New Sand Blasting cabinet in the workshop. Everything that goes in comes out looking like new. So if you've got something that needs to get shiny and clean again, drop by. No more running around to have a blast.
