Jersey Devil gets a new home
At the end of October, Tony from Tennessee purchased the bike. I honestly miss her. She was the bike that got me into all this. I hope he enjoys it and rides the hell out of it. Enjoy the Jersey Devil, Tony!

shot gun shells and Georgia clay and the "JERSEY DEVIL"
So went and took some photo's of my KZ chop. I am not a photographer and the pics are shot with a camera from target thats a hundred bucks. Just having some fun and some better pics than what I get in the garage on it.
If you look at both pics. You can see most of it was reused and reworked to make this badd ass metric chop.
It's done. No more work to this one. I 'm the type where I will always see what can be changed to make it look better. It is what it is. This is the bike that started me hacking bikes up. I've owned this KZ for five years and its went through hell with me. This was the practice bike built with Bondo, fiberglass, welding, and paint. This was my crash test dummy. It was a stock bike when purchased and well this is what she turned into.
It's been hardtailed. The swingarm was extended, then the top tubes of the frame were brought down to it. After a while riding her like that, she was broken down to finish the bottom section of the hard tail. There's a bunch of BS that has been done to her, and redone...
Found this little spot while out riding and pulled in for some pics after doing some tire spinning dirt burn-outs and some fish tailing. While taking the shots, I noticed all the shotgun shells laying around on the ground. So I got what needed to be done!

My Led Sled: "The Jersey Devil"
 |
| prepped and primed |
Okay. The dust is starting to settle after the Dime City Cycles cafe racer show down in Largo. The XS500 took "Best Down and Dirty Cafe Racer" award. It was one hell of a first time experience. So, back to working on the bikes in the shop. Started to wrap up my ride, "The Jersey Devil." Finished up the hardtail on it. Cleaned up the bike all over. Polished up whatever parts needed to be cleaned and rewelded the front bars on the bike. Also mounted the new battery box.

group pics of the gs450, kz750 twin, xs500, and gsf400
Had to throw em all together today! picture day.
Trying to show the different styles of the bikes, trying to keep each one to its own character. these are the 1st of many more to come! Have 3 more in the garage waiting but i really want to do all styles. it's hard to do something one-off.
There are a lot of really good shops out their building some wicked shit that just blows my mind on the no limits to customizing rule. Not saying I feel I have one off bikes, just taking something and giving it a new look. But in time I think I'll only get better, even with the stress of "is someone is going to buy it?"
These bikes have no customers. I just picked up whatever I could get my hands on before moving down to GA to start this shop, and this is where i'm at after about 6 months of wrenching in the garage.
So it's just me building my ideas of the bike and hoping someone is gonna want one. But no matter what I know I'll always do this as a pro or as a hobby. It's just to kool to take something that looked like shit and giving it a wicked look!
