FOR SALE: Rocks Chops Attack Bars. $50 + shipping

I bought these last summer from Rock and I swear I gave him the idea. He's got a shit load of them for sale on eBay, but I think he calls them something else. They are in perfect working condition. I rattle can painted them last summer, so you could run em as is or paint them up again you fuckin pussy!

These are the new Rocks Chops Class bent T Bars.

These babies are made from 11 gauge steel tubing and are professionally TIG welded by Rocks Chops. The bars are 1 inch DIA. tubing but I can make 7/8ths for the same price.

Height: 8.75"
Span: 21"
Grip Area: 7.25"
Pullback: 2"
Riser Spacing: 3.5"

Comes with all required grade 8 mounting hardware.

Getting there....


I hate trying to think of titles for my posts, anyways, my Uncle Butchie (Bart) is amazing! I couldn't do this shit without him. He's my personal fabricator. I get fuckin crazy ideas in my head and he's always there to tell me how to make it work and that's exactly what he does. I bought these bars directly from Paughco (sorry Al), and I gotta say they are exactly what I was looking for. Although I gotta admit, the way they do business is a bit different. They are very lakadaisical. "So you got these bars in stock?" "Huh? Yeah, yeah man stop worrying".

SUNDAY WORK

SPENT SOME TIME OUT AT DAVE POO'S SUPER SECRET HIDEOUT TODAY. HE'S BEEN WORKING ON HARDTAILING A NEWER BONNEVILLE, AMONG OTHER THINGS. WE PLAYED WITH A NEW FENDER FROM LED SLED, DAMN THING IS HEAVY DUTY. KEEP THAT IN MIND IF YOUR LOOKING TO HAUL A HEAVY HONEY IN THE FUTURE
NEEDS FENDER AND SISSY BAR FABBED UP, COUPLE HOLES FOR WIRES AND A COAT OF THE SHINY STUFF AND IT'LL BE ON THE ROAD......
.....THATS THE PLAN ANYWAYS-

Its looking clean......



Over the weekend I decided to pull the rockers off and throw some paint on em. By now I should learn not to paint when its cold but was looking for something to do so I went for it. With the heater kicked on full blast I spent most of Friday night and Saturday morning in the garage. I think the actually rockers where still too cold when I applied the paint and the finish kinda looks like shit.....but, what can you do. Impatience is a killer when your trying for perfection. With a new set of JIms gaskets I hope when I start this fucker up that it doesnt piss oil all over the place. It feels really good to do my own work. I remember back to a time when I didnt know shit. I think I have come a long way and my bike hasnt seen a shop in 5 years. Repair manuals, online forums, and some smart friends that have "been there, done that" have helped along the way. To me, this is what matters most.....and its not for bragging rights or to be cool. Its a sense of accomplishment. I am a long ways away still from where I want to be mechanically but I am pointing in the right direction. Seems like everyone should just get out on the road, tear it up, and not give a fuck about whats cool. Trends, fads, new bikes, new riders, come and go. Live in the moment, hit the roads with your buddies, and get a couple beers. Its that simple....

WHAT THE HELL IS A DARK CUSTOM?

I LIKE TO CHECK OUT ALL THE DIFFERENT BLOGS, AND QUITE A FEW PEOPLE MENTION THE DARK CUSTOM THINGY. I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS EXACTLY. SOUNDS LIKE HARLEYS ATTEMP TO MARKET YOUNGER MONEY.

NOW I REALLY DON'T CARE WHAT HARLEY IS DOING ANYMORE, WHATS NEW, WHATS COMING OUT AND ALL THAT JAZZ. MY THOUGHTS ARE THAT THEY'RE ARE MAKING IT ALL TOO ADVANCED WITH FUEL INJECTION AND ELECTRONIC THIS, DIGITAL THAT. THATS NOT WHAT I WANT, OR WANT TO DEAL WITH. SIMPLICITY IS WHAT I FIND APPEALING. HARLEY CAN DO THEIR THING WITH THE AFTERMARKET JUST AS TRIUMPH AND HONDA AND EVERYBODY ELSE IS DOING. ACCESSORIZE ON.

I SUPPOSE I'M OUT OF THE LOOP, WHICH IS FINE, I LIKE NOT BEING IN IT. AND I MAY NOT BE IN WITH THE TRENDY CROWD OF PERIOD CORRECTNESS AND TRADITIONAL STYLES EITHER. THATS FINE TOO. I PREFER THE FLOATING AROUND AND TAKING IN WHATEVER PLEASES ME.

POINT IS, WHO CARES WHATS IN, OR WHATS RIGHT. EXPOSURE CAN BE GOOD, BUT ALSO COULD BE A PICTURE PAINTED TO LOOK BETTER THAN IT ACTUALLY IS. I'M GONNA ENJOY SITTING BACK, ABSORBING ALL THE GOOD STUFF I COME ACROSS AND KEEP IT SIMPLE. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, NOT WORRY ONE BIT HOW EVERYBODY ELSE IS DOING IT AND DO IT HOWEVER I LIKE-

DAMN THIS IS COOL

XS 650 FROM SLIM'S FAB. GUY BUILDS UNUSUAL STUFF, THE SEEMS OUT OF THE NORM, SO TO SPEAK. I GUESS IT'S STILL NOT FINISHED. NICE LINES, KICKASS BARS AND A NICE SHAPED TANK. I ALWAYS FIND CLEAN BARE METAL APPEALING.
KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THIS BIKE IN THE FUTURE-

SHIT IS TIGHT

I LOVE THESE SHORT SMALL SWINGARM BIKES. I GUESS MOST CALL THEM BRATSTYLE. I ALWAYS DUG THE FORM BEFORE I EVER HEARD THE TERM. THE SPORTY IS KINDA LIKE THIS ALREADY BUT I WISH IT WAS ON THE SAME LEVEL. HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT I 'SPOSE. ONLY DRAWBACK IS NOWHERE TO TIE THINGS TO. I DO LIKE TO TRAVEL ON MY SICKLE. GUESS ITS TIME TO INVEST IN SOME OF THOSE COOL SADDLEBAGS WITH THE FRINGE-

ANOTHER TRUE STORY

AWHILE BACK I HAD A MOUSE IN THE HOUSE. TIRED TRAPPING IT SO WE COULD FEED IT TO A SNAKE , BUT HE SLIPPED UNDER THE DOOR AT THE LAST MINUTE, BASTARD GOT AWAY. SO OUT CAME THE POISON. I PUT OUT A FULL TRAY OF DEACON IN THE KITCHEN. CAME HOME FROM WORK LATER THAT DAY AND HALF WAS GONE. NEXT DAY, IT WAS ALL GONE. NOW I'M PRETTY POSITVE I HAVE A DEAD MOUSE OR TWO SOMEWHERE IN THE KITCHEN. MUCH TO MY DISAPPOINTMENT, I NEVER FOUND ONE.
FAST FOWARD A MONTH. I'M CLEANING OUT A CUPBOARD THROWING OUT EXPIRED FOOD. GET TO A BOX OF OLD OATMEAL, THE INSTANT KIND THAT COMES IN LITTLE PACK. I PEAK INSIDE THE BOX AND FIND ALL THE POISON HAD BEEN EXPERTLY TRANSFERRED TO THE INSIDE OF THE OATMEAL BOX!

FUCKERS ARE GETTING SMART. NOW THEY'RE TRYING TO POISON ME. TIME TO STEPUP MY GAME-

NEAT


LOOKS REALLY LIGHT WEIGHT, PROLLY LOTS OF FUN TO RIDE-

My girlfriend and I went to Minnesota last weekend. She has college friends that live there and she wanted to go to Mall of America. She bought a lot of shit, I bought this mustache comb and a pair of Vans sunglasses cuz my other ones broke last summer. The rollercoasters were fun.

These are my tube titties...
