Custom motorcycles, hot rods, skate, art, music, movies, whatever...

I've seen Exile's, Flyrite, Hawg Halters, and ISR from Sweden, but don't really turn me on.
You see as a machinist with access to cnc equipment you can make almost anything. But as a machinist, I try to make what I'm buiding NOT look like a hunk of billet aluminum or a caliper with cute balled grooves and pretty machined chamfers. My goal is to give it a more "cast look" and the only ones I can really give a wink to are Flyrites. Very 50's diner, but for my cuurent build not my style. I'm looking to build one that resembles my front caliper: a Tokico 2 piston floating caliper from the rear of a '94 zr750. I bought this item from Fabkevin and I made my own not-so-billet springer bracket to fit. Some things I'' have to figure out are chain clearance, which pads am I going to use as well as piston and seals. Well I have a vision in my head and a beer in my hand so wish me luck.
