The New Style

We had a few requests for simple style.


We'll try a dozen or so and see.
I used a scotch-brite pad the raised section for a little contrast but they'll go out the door all polished.

Evo Tech Tip

This bit of useful information comes via #1 Bench*Mark test rider Rouser Works Rob.
Hit up your dealer for a 1999 Buell M2 Cyclone carburetor bracket, It should run you in the $15-$17 range.
We realize Buell parts are going to get harder to get so we're kicking around producing our own bracket, sexed up a little bit and made of stainless. We'll keep ya'll posted.

Friend of Bench*Mark Sheridan "El Skitzo" Brown pretty much single handedly drove us to do the Amal 930 Air cleaner. Once they were available he wasted no time picking up a couple for his redo of this 20 year old Australian chop.

Mods?

Once a week or so we get emails asking can you make this like that or can you do one of these in a brushed finish?
The answer is yes we can but I'm always thinking why?
Yes all of our stuff is bolt on ready but they're not sacred vintage parts (maybe someday), why not make them your own?
Everyone has the same access to files sandpaper & scotch-brite pads we do.
Here's the kicker pedal I recently did for my personal bike. I used a vice, files, sandpaper, a hand drill and a couple hours of my time. I concaved the center of the body, rounded the hell out of the rest, polished the whole thing and then took a scotch-brite pad to it.

If you've reworked any of our stuff and we'd love to see it.
