Leavin on a jet plane.....

I'm sitting at LAX waiting for my flight home to board and reading this book....so far I agree with alot this guy has to say about today's work culture and the rewards if working with your hands. nice to see the hype is deserved in this case.
I also wanted to thank the Biltwell crew as well as everyone at JRC for the hospitality the last couple days! Cheers, Kyle

The first Video DIY Tech Tip by Lowbrow Customs

Above is the first trial DIY Tech Tip by Lowbrow Customs in video form. Shot this off-the-cuff video and see how it would turn out. Nothing crazy-technical here, this is just a good reference to new British motorcycle owners on how to change out a throttle cable. I have had this question asked to me many times, and it seems simple, though remembering back I am sure this was a 10 minute operation for me where now it is 10 seconds. Let me know what you think by posting comments here on the blog or on youtube... but be kind, I am new to doing any sort of video :)

Please subscribe to our lowbrowcustoms youtube channel for all sorts of motorbike related videos, and there is also a lowbrowproducts channel for video product descriptions we are starting to produce that will soon be available in product listings on the site!

The Salt Ghost At Bonneville Salt Flats 2010

These are just a few teaser photos from Jon Glover who hung out and lent us a hand and photographed the activities for a couple days during Bonneville Speed Week 2010 while we were there with the Four Aces crew racing. I can't wait to get the CD in the mail and check out the rest of the photos, these look amazing.




Here is a pic of Theo Ozen who built this bike and raced it for a couple decades at Bonneville Speed Week in 1967. Stay tuned for more info on both man and machine.

Shopt Time With My New Toy

I finally got my English wheel mounted and was able to start playing with it. I knew there would be a bit of a learning curve since I have never used one before and of course I decided on a super ambitious aluminum fairing project (less than 5 weeks till Bonneville World Finals!) for my 67 Bonneville LSR bike! It is a super cool tool and I know I have just scratched the surface of what it can do, I can't wait until I have more free time to keep trying!

Bonneville Speed Week 2010 Photos

You can check out our Flickr album of personal Bonneville pics here, it includes photos from when we first left until the end of our trip. Unedited just a bunch of photos, lots of cool stuff, there are 251 of them for you to peruse.


Michael Van Parys hung out on the first Sunday and took photos, these 42 photos are the first batch he sent us. More to come from him, and also from John Glover of Salt Lake City who helped out on Monday and Tuesday and took tons of photos. Stay tuned to the Blog for more as they come in.

More customer rides!

Our friend Arturo in Italy sent us these pics of his friends Norton chopper. I thought it was pretty cool, it's rare to see a Norton chop even here in the states!

My Office.

Here is a shot of where I work for a good chunk of the day. I am sitting here right now typing this blog entry. I wanted to show off my signed Raplh Steadman print that I bought for myself a year ago, I finally got it back from being framed and hung it up. If you don't know Ralph Steadman, he is the artist who did the illustrations for HST. Among the clutter and paper, finned timing cover and cast Hunt mag and Pan springer hobknob with scribbled notes, reciepts and to-do lists from Kyle.
