HANDMADE PIPES FROM SHAMROCK– I looked at the Shrunken FXR’s pipes. I thought you did a pretty good job on those!
In the same line, here’s a set of pipes I just pieced together for a client’s bike I’m building. He’s in Santa Fe, NM.
I had to clear his RHD 240 tire frame section. I assembled them similar to what you did. And, I’m out of the Holley pipe splices too, after this one!

CHARLOTTE ER BIKE SHOW REPORT–This past Saturday (Jan. 24) the Easyriders bike show came to Charlotte. The weather was a great, 60 degrees and sunny. The next day we paid with an ice storm, but that’s another story. The show set records in attendance, 15,000. When “THE MEANEST” and I took a lunch break the entrance line was three blocks long and the wait to enter the show was said to be forty-five minutes to an hour. It was rumored that the fire marshall cut the line off until some had finished looking at all the bikes and left the show. There were 250 bikes entered in the show competition! Another record. There were bikes from all up and down the east coast. Take a look at the pictures and I think you will agree they were top quality. It was good to see all those people come out and support the show.
Paul Yaffe and Kendall Johnson were the big names at the show and both had bikes on display. There were top local builders in attendance as well. Mike Marquart and the crew from Redneck Ingeniuty were on hand with an impressive display of bikes as well as the coolest sofa (love seat). Randy Simpson and his crew from Milwaukee Iron were there with another impressive display of bikes. Gangster Choppers out of Virginia was another shop from Virginia. Billy and his crew from Eastside Choppers out of Myrtle Beach were there and he agreed to come up with a couple of awards for the 6th Annual Run For Breath “In Memory of Justin Pullin” to be held in July. Thanks Billy!
There were a lot of high dollar bikes in the show but there were a lot of old school affordable bikes there also. I am glad to see this style of bike coming back. It was a long day as “THE MEANEST” and I worked our booth (H-D of Charlotte) but it was fun to see everyone. At the end of the day, everyone had a blast.
Hey, only four more weeks until DAYTONA! Now if we can just get rid of this damned ICE! Oh one more thing, GO PANTHERS!
Later!
