2011-10-20T14:27:00.001-04:00

I got a call a while back from my good buddy John Dills. I was told he wanted to snatch up a set of Brushed Aluminum Grips and Pegs for one of his pals. But the hitch was they really needed a killer gas cap to match. So I took a minute and spun up this little beauty!

That match these really well!

Or even these!

Trock Ironhead Sportster Jugs (FOR SALE!!!)

2011-09-21T15:01:00.001-04:00

I have had these jugs sitting on a shelf for probably 8 years waiting for just the right project to come along. It pains me to sell these but I need to get up some money for another project. These are N.O.S. (new old stock) That means never mounted never run!!! As Ron Trock is no longer with us and Ironheads are a thing of the past you will be hard pressed to find big bore jugs any where! Never mind brand new ones... Check em out!
These jugs are for 3 7/16" pistons. Actual bore is 3.425 (as they have never had pistons fitted to them!) Gasket to gasket length is 5.680". These will not just bolt up with out machining the cases, and relocating the head and cylinder studs.

I would like $650 for them. But I will warn you if you must have these they will go to the highest bidder! Email me at DeepSixCycles@gmail.com

"Ride to wreck your liver!" (A.K.A. Ballin B.D.A.C. Style!)

2011-08-03T11:11:00.000-04:00

I stole this from the B.D.A.C. blog check out their blog and be there!

No big rides are happening this fall...there seems to be no RFL this year, everyone seems to be getting closer knit within their groups instead of hanging out with others and everyone seems to be over this whole blog adventure thing.

I say to Hell with it...let's ride. I'm working on a tentative date for the weekend of September 23-25 to do a riding trip...no bands will be hired, no Knuckleheads will be given away, but there is plenty of beer to be guzzled and plenty of good roads to ride.

Every year from around the end of September to the beginning of November a town in North Georgia named Helen throws a big Oktoberfest. This whole town is set dead square in the mountains, on a river and has an Alpine village theme. There are bars galore, plenty of weinerschnitzel, spaetzle and knockwurst to make you sick for a few days and it's close enough that the local critters make their way out of the surrounding areas to offer good entertainment. So what say we make a Ride to The River to Wreck Your Liver and enjoy the scenery of the Georgia mountains, the German beer of Oktoberfest and hopefully some non-scag women dressed in beer maid outfits?

Big Mountain Run! (Aka as the dust settles)

2011-06-07T09:32:00.003-04:00

Ive been meaning to post up some pictures from BMR. We have been running around the shop like mad men ever since we got back and caught up on sleep. I think it may finally be safe to talk about... Really all I can tell you is that we had a blast! Every time we go to an event we get to kick it with some rad mother fuckers and meet a ton more! There are so many down to earth, talented folk in the industry it makes me proud to be part of it.
There's way too many people to give shout outs to but some of the cats that directly helped us survive this event are as follows, Hugh for the loaner bike and being a bro! The Cats from The B.D.A.C. you kick ass, see you crazy fuckers soon! Robbie, Moses, Shit Falcon, and Flounderella for bro-in the hell down and aiding in the intoxication process... Matt your a rad mother fucker thanks for hookin up the water and a tailgate and please thank Dale for breakfast! P.s. go to Wheels Through Time. Don Wood and his OL for feeding half the event and other things! And every one else who took the time to say hello. We are really lookin forward to the next excuse to kick it again with all the rad bastards we met!

We got to watch Time Bomb crowd surf from the porch roof after Chris kicked him outta the cabin when he was up to no good... Too bad sliding down the steps from the second story and out the front door on a broken table would have been rad.

Sneak peak! (Aka Rob's Build with our pegs!)

A week end frame build - (AKA) A Deep Six Cycles / Hugh's HandBuilt Collaboration

2011-05-06T00:45:00.002-04:00

I had a pile of parts and a pretty good idea for a frame. So I talked my buddy Hugh from Hughs Hand Built into hanging out with my raggedy ass and helping me bring it to life. What followed was a long weekend of chopping, drankin' beer, watching hippies dance in the woods, and finding sustenance from the closest source, the gas station... This is a series of shots to show the KZ650 frame we built from scratch in the late hours of a long weekend...

The only part of the old frame to remain was the neck.

I had a 16" Harley Wheel kickin around so Hugh Drew me up some axle plates for a 3/4 axle and we had em laser cut ahead of time.

We set up some random dimensions, drank beer, eyeballed it some more, and changed everything around until we were happy... Then we built a quick engine cradle jig to locate the motor mounts...

Once we got the dimensions nailed down for sure we bent up some tube, I tacked em in, and it was game on!

Right from the beginning I had envisioned parallel down tubes with a fair amount of stretch. Besides looking cool as the day is long it would make dealing with the exhaust a breeze! The left side of the frame had to be wider than the right, so we took the time to make it all just right.

We laid out some more tube and I tacked it in. We were on track and there was no derailing us now!

Here I am beat as hell and stoked! All in all the initial set up took about as long as it did to put the frame together...

Here she is all tacked up! I still really dig this frame and it should be a fun build!

We had a hell of a week end! I can't wait to spend another week end of long nights, cheap beer, good music with a good friend working like a manic depressive on an up swing to appease the chopper gods! It was a true thrash session with sparks flyin at both ends of the shop most of the time! This is what its all about!

Dixie Roundup & Dice Party!

2011-05-02T20:36:00.000-04:00

Man I had a complete blast at the round up! My camera is a p.o.s. so I didn't even bother with it... My phone was dead all week end due to my charger jumping out on the road some where on the way to Atlanta. So I don't have a single picture that needs to be destroyed... The Round Up ruled more than words can capture. The bikes were rad and every one we kicked it with ruled! Big thanks to Garage Co, The Haints and every one at Dice! Huge thanks to the Erick, the B.D.A.C. boys (and affiliates), Flounder, and the Dilly Falcon, for hookin it up so hard! I can't wait to kick it with all the rad mother fuckers we meet when B.M.R. comes around!

Aluminum XS650 Foot Pegs!

2011-04-01T22:53:00.001-04:00

These new foot pegs are a great way to add that final touch to your project. They attach to the stock mounts after the original peg is removed. All it takes to remove the old peg is a minute or two with a drill or grinder. New hardware is included with every purchase!

Brass Pegs for your XS650!!!

2011-03-28T15:07:00.001-04:00

Even a blind man would have a hard time not noticing all the cool XS650 builds hitting the streets. In my mind one of the biggest eye sores on a custom XS are those damn fuggly rubber foot pegs! Foot pegs are one of the most often overlooked accessories on any custom build. My buddie Hugh at Hughs HandBuilt turns out some rad builds and never over looks anything!

Hugh came to the shop and dropped off some stock pegs and brackets and said "Make it brass, make it cool". I had been dieing to work some solid brass hex stock into my product line and here was the perfect opportunity!

This is the pile of ugly I had to work with. All you XS guys know what I'm talkin about!

This is the design I came up with just for you cats who don't overlook details either! Custom machined in house from solid Brass & Stainless stock exclusively for use with Stock XS650 foot peg brackets.

Your order will include every thing pictured. 2 Brass Foot Pegs with Stainless Mounts, and the hardware required to mount them.

Mounting these is stupid simple. All it requires is the most basic of hand tools that any one messing with a custom should have.

All it takes is drilling or grinding off the rivet side of the Stock Foot Peg pin.

Replace the stock rubber peg with our Brass Foot Peg using the supplied hardware and your done!

Bolt the assembly back on the bike and ride the wheels off it!

*Deep Six Cycles XS650 pegs are built to order. Price includes shipping in the Continental U.S. Please contact me for shipping quotes outside the U.S. DeepSixCycles@gmail.com

Sweden... (A.K.A. So it begins...)

2011-03-27T20:54:00.002-04:00

Here are a couple shots I got from a cat who ordered a set of our bars for his first bike. Im kinda stoked about young guns riding and I think its awesome that I have parts on his first bike! These bars are slightly wider than our average Tri-Win Bars (by request). Its also rare to see our mail order customers projects so as a show of support to this cat we figured we would toss up his pictures! Now that the bug has bitten I can't wait to see how this bike might evolve...

Henderson Streamliner built in the 50's (AKA So Its Not A Chopper!)

2011-03-22T15:45:00.000-04:00

Some body emailed me this! Im not sure of the original source. Hence all the pictures and text are stolen... Well the pics are credited to
Grail Mortillaro (of the chopper blog Knucklebusterinc).

1930 Henderson "Streamliner"

The motorcycling world loves a ‘barn find’, an old, obscure machine wheeled out of the woodwork for the first time. And this is one of the biggest revelations of recent months.

It’s a 1930 Henderson that was customized before WW2 by a fellow called O. Ray Courtney and fitted with ‘streamliner’ bodywork.

One night in March, 1950, O. Ray Courtney worked until two a.m. And drove home discouraged. He was trying to design a better motorcycle. He wanted one with the seat forward, with better cooling, better springing and a more beautiful body Discarded sketches littered the floor of his shop. That night in a dream he saw a steamlined beauty skim across a flowered field. Too excited to report for work the next day, he hastily put his dream on paper – and he is riding that dream cycle now through the streets of Pontiac, Mich.

The art deco influence is obvious; legendary automotive designer Harley Earl could have drawn those curves.

It’s all the more unusual because the mechanicals are hidden: even at the height of the Art Deco movement, most motorcycles were a triumph of form over function, with exposed cooling fins, brake drums and suspension springs.

The bike is owned by collector Frank Westfall of Syracuse.

It caused a stir in June 2010 when it appeared at the Rhinebeck Grand National Meet, a motorcycle show held a couple of hours drive north of NYC.

I took these photos at the Rhinebeck Grand National Meet where the newly restored bike was unveiled. The bike belongs to Frank Westfall from Syracuse, NY. According to some info I found online, the bike was originally built by O. Ray Courtney in 1936 and is based on a 1930 K.J Henderson. The bike is powered by inline four cylinder (not a scooter as some have said, check the shot of the motor below) and as I’m sure you can gather by now, is a one-off custom. What I can confirm is it does run and while it looked a bit unwieldy, Frank could be seen riding the bike around the Fairgrounds all weekend. But let’s be honest here (and maybe I’m wrong) - you don’t have this bike in your stable to go out for a long Sunday afternoon ride to get some ice cream. That said, it was pretty awesome to see the bike being ridden (even when rain started to come down) instead of being sheltered behind a velvet rope, never to see the rubber touch asphalt again. The bike is a fantastic piece of history, the craftsmanship is absolutely stunning and it’s surely more of a museum piece than a daily rider. Frank has obvHenderson was a Chicago brand and one of the American ‘Big Three’ (with Harley-Davidson and Indian) until the onset of the Great Depression. It went bust in 1931.

But you can see the influence of the ‘streamliner’ style on another contemporary North American brand : Victory.

If there’s a spiritual successor to this Henderson custom, it’s the Victory Vision Tour, a gargantuan cruiser with completely enclosed bodywork and not a leather tassle or saddlebag in sight.

If you want em I got em for $13.50 plus shipping!Pictures to follow!

Support your friends! (Aka pay back)

2011-02-10T09:29:00.000-05:00

Here at Deep Six Cycles we have the pleasure of working with some really great folks. From our customers to other shops, right down to the magazines who are all ways there for us. We have been very fortunate to work with many of the magazines we read regularly. So I tracked down a few videos in an attempt to return the favor! Keep up the great work!

I have to say I'm not sure this is Dice endorsed but we dig it...

But here's an old classic from the collective brains of Matt & Dean!

Deep Six Cycles Brass Hand Grips!

2011-02-06T12:09:00.000-05:00

Deep Six Cycles are now manufacturing Brass Hand Grips! Made entirely in house here in Ashville, NC. You know what that means 100% Made In The Usa! Available Raw or Polished to the hilt for 1" or 7/8" bars. These Grips can be made specifically to fit internal or conventional throttle set ups. For the best fit and finish possible send us your conventional throttle assembly and a custom set of grips will be custom fit to your assembly!

Sneak Peak (AKA Its good to have friends)

2011-02-03T19:43:00.001-05:00

Heres a sneak peak of some of the prepared shots from the latest photo shoot. Shit owns! We will be doing some official product releases soon so keep your eyes out! A HUGE shout out to Hugh at Hughs HandBuilt and his buddy Dino are in order! These are our new Brass Grips! Coming soon!

New Deep Six Cycles Stainless Peg Adapters!

2011-01-17T17:33:00.000-05:00

So heres deal is with these pegs! The stainless adapter is 1 1/2" long 1/2" Thick. It is turned to with in +/- 3 tenths of of the i.d. of the peg. The adapter is cooled and the peg is heated for a shrink fit similar to installing neck cups. I feel this should make for the sturdiest/ safest brass peg on the market. And yeah it very well may be over kill... I will be doing r&d on adapters for female Harley mounts next and have it in mind to also offer some the Brit, Yamaha XS, And maybe Honda Cb. But the Female Harley ones are next.

The meaning of Hand Built! ("Aka Built to order")

2010-12-14T21:17:00.003-05:00

Ok kiddies, I updated some of the options with the bars mostly pull down/ roll back of the top bar & top bar length. Keep in mind one of the reasons to wait for my "built to order" bars is the fact that they are not just some off the shelf one size fits all made in China B.S... If you are diggin my bars but want them just slightly different to suit your build as in dimensions, pull back/ pull down, knurling distance, or what ever. Give me a call or shoot me an email and I will try to work some thing out that will work for you. That is the benefit of not being part of a mass produced big box chain! Check out our some of our products & services on the right column of the blogs under product!

Ladys and Gentle Worms I present for your viewing displeasure (I hope) a short tale about a flaming shitter! Its been a crazy week. But then again coming in to work on Tuesday morning only to find your bathroom engulfed in flames will do that! There were 9 fire extinguishers emptied and some hose water to boot by the time the Fire Department showed up! But we are very lucky no one got hurt, no tool or product damage, and no vehicle loss. Just a few magazines, some tp, and hand soap. Oh yeah and the entire bathroom!!!

The End of an Era...

2010-11-02T11:46:00.000-04:00

We had a great Halloween show! I really want to thank every one who helped to make it happen. As some of you may know this was a benefit for the Prison Books program. Being a volunteer run program they depend heavily on benefits such as this one.
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. We had a lot of wonderful people and I had a hell of a time myself. But the actions of a few have ruined it for every one. Mostly the graffiti on my landlords building across the street and a few other things...

It was fun while it lasted! And thank you to all the bands that have played here, and the folks that have organized shows in the past. It was nice to have a chance to give something back.

On a side note if you know any thing about the graffiti it almost cost me my space. And we are on thin ice with our land lord now. I have faith that all will smooth over in time. But any info would be appreciated. We will also be reviewing the video from their security camera for clues as to who may have been involved.

Also who ever stole my girlfriends pick up from The Get Down this week end we are looking for you as well!!! And you punks can't drive worth a damn. With in about 20 seconds I had the truck unstuck with no pushing, digging or pulling. I hope you enjoyed our Stun Guns tape you decided to listen to during your adventure. Just one more security tape to review... I hope I can see your face you dumb shit!

Cafe bump stop seat for Briton Bees.

2010-09-03T20:33:00.000-04:00

A little while back I was asked to make a Cafe style Bump Stop seat for an up coming project from Briton Bees. I never did snap a picture of it when I finished up the tin since it was late and my camera pretty much only works in the day light... I hand worked 16ga into what you see here. The bump stop was a lot of fun and I learnt a lot along the way. Its nice to have an excuse to beat on tin. I tend to find my self avoiding it. p.s. the upholstery was out sourced to some one that does it every day.

You can find Briton Bees her.- http://britonbees.com/
It was a really great working with these guys! I'm looking forward to the next time! Great cats for sure!

Stolen Triumph Alert!

2010-07-22T14:37:00.001-04:00

This bike was stolen from a B.P. Station on Patten Ave. Here in Asheville. There is a reward for any information leading to the return of this 1972 Triumph Daytona. Any one seeing this motorcycle please contact the owner at 377.854. No Questions Asked he just wants his bike back! The vin is x641576t100r

I got an email this afternoon, so here's an update on the situation!-
"I'm happy to report that I recovered my bike no worse for wear than it is missing its plate! Best possible scenario; some n'er-do-well got tired of pushing it up hill and stashed it behind an apt. building, covered with a tarp. I'm now the proud owner of a new tarp!"

"Beat on the Brat"

2010-07-22T12:30:00.001-04:00

This is a sneak peak of a "Brat Style" XS I did the tail section on. The owner cleaned off all the unnecessary tabs himself. Since he is trying to do as much work on his own as he can on his own. It is shaping up but there are still some minor loose ends. Keep an eye in our direction for the end result!

Lee Bender. A tale of a Skater/ Chopper Jockeys battle with M.S.

2010-07-05T10:33:00.000-04:00

I asked Lee to wright a little something about him self for the blog and this is what he had to say.

Im long winded, so ill keep it bare bones for sure.
lee bender, skateboarder, multiple sclerosis customer. workin on raising some money to pay for an illegal procedure to possibly cure m.s. in Katowice Poland sometime in 2011. need 11 grand, already raised 2500. still need 8500. trying to hold onto my car, but have a car to sell if necessary.

skateboarder first. 8.25x32, indy 149s, oj 60mm wheels no risers. ride and change the oil on my evo sporty chop. it starts everytime and goes everywhere. recently from Indianapolis to Denver, thru the mountains on highway50 down thru monument valley, blasted thru Barstow, down into San Bernardino over to Hollywood and long beach. up the coast to sf on the pch. only problems where getting struck by lightening in the Rockies at 12,000 feet, a worn out chain and a bald tire once i got to my new home of San Francisco. I've got no complaints as my meds keep the ms for getting any worse, but they do absolutely nothing for regenerating any new or fixing any damaged nerve endings. my hands and feet have been numb for 3 years, my balance is off enough where i can skate, i have cognitive issues where my short term memory is a little off and i get tired/exhausted after being on my feet for more than 60-90 minutes... no big deal considering that some people wake up blind or paralyzed with this stuff. i still ride my bike daily and physically, i look totally fine and normal...its just my insides are eating themselves alive...
Here are a few links to pass along for both my stupid life blog thing and some info for the liberation procedure in case others who suffer from ms are reading this...

Check out the links below. I wish Lee the best of luck and hope that this info helps some other folks that may be battling m.s... At the very least check out Lees Blog (the first link it rocks!) and the second one to the Real skateboard company has a video that is well worth the time to see.

It also turns out that Lee built what is known (online to dummies like me any how) as "The pope hat bike" or "that bike with the pope hat" and so on. I have always dug this bike and the out of the box mini fairing/bug deflector. So I pilfered these images from the J.J. Hope you don't mind Lee.

The Truth About Office Work!

Last Saturday I was cutting out the first 4 new fliers with a paper cutter. Well I decided to touch them up and recut them to trim them into shape. On the last cut I got more than just paper. The fliers look great but the finger looks like Frankenstein! Well I better get outta this office and back to the welding table before something bad happens!!!

2010-04-10T10:07:00.003-04:00

Deep Six Cycles products are made in house here in the USA!

"Remember when you were young, your ride shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy brass.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like the scoot needs another mock up.
Shine on you crazy brass.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway cat calls of admiration,
come on you frame builder, you legend, you master, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy brass.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy brass.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you thrasher, you seer of visions,
come on you painter, you pinstriper, you upholsterer, and shine! "

Ok, so this may not be an exact quote any more...
