So I got a package on Friday, and what doth I find in said package you might ask. Well I’ll tell you friend. It’s an Icon Death or Glory Airframe helmet.
Now you might be asking why did Icon send me a new helmet? Well again I will tell you. Because Icon is fucking dope that’s why!
Thanks Icon Moto for keeping my dome safe your pretty much my bff 4 life!!!

So, yeah… nobody wants to buy my split rocker boxes, so I guess ya’ll’er gonna force to go and build a bike out of them. Challenge accepted. Challenge fucking accepted.
Got a 21″ x 1.5″ rim from the Belgians, spoked up with a mini hub from JR’s Cycles. They also provided the tree, but I think I’m gonna use the Showa trees I’ve got… Gonna frisco mount that 1976 anniversary sporty tank (don’t worry Carlos – just using this one for mock up).
Real skinny. May even do a bitch pad for der Wiffen… we’ll see.
No, this post doesn’t have anything to do with that terrible GI Joe movie. It has to do with something far, far more serious… Carlito’s new build. C, Terry and I, started with this unsuspecting 2003 sporty, around 3pm…
After about two hours it looked like this:
And then we took all that crap and put it in one of our new skinny rear end frames…
And now it looks like this…
We just did a mock up on it to see the proportions… ordering some new tires today, should help with the proportions. There was talk of using a peanut tank, but I think we all agreed on the sporty tank. Anyhangles, I’ll post build pics as we go.
