Bonneville Speed Week 2011 Photos

The Ohio Flag - Not Puerto Rico as some think.

A big thanks goes out to Jon Glover of Salt Lake City, our Lowbrow race team photographer and an all around good guy. I just got in some photos from him from our endeavors at Speed Week 2011, and uploaded some of my favorites to a Flickr album here.

Dang, my bike looks mall in this picture.

Kyle ringing it's neck.

Lanesplitter.

You meet the nicest Australians at Bonneville.

Nice.


Had to throw another shot of Kyle & his bike in. For some reason I am partial to that green bike, guess Kyle should have done this blog post if he wanted more photo-action! ha.

New Lowbrow Boxes by Maxwell Paternoster

Maxwell Paternoster did us up some swanky new artwork that we used on our new custom-printed shipping boxes. We love them so much we intend to do more art on some of our larger boxes as well, so expect to see some cool artwork when you order up and get a package in from Lowbrow!

The 2nd Annual Lowbrow Customs Holeshot

If you missed this last year, you missed a great party....if you miss it this year, you will miss the biggest, craziest, raddest party in all of the World!
Ok I may be exaggerating, but if you can make it, do it! This is shaping up to be an even better time than the first! Free food, beer, racing, camping, some special guests, movie screenings, and I am pretty sure it will live up to it's name just like last year! Oh did I mention the Chopper Dirt Track Challenge?

2 weeks and counting, get all the details HERE!

Introducing The Sportster Bolt-On Hardtail By David Bird

David Bird has just finished his newest frame, a Sportster bolt-on hardtail that fits 1954 - 1978 (other year ranges being prototyped now!). David Bird Triumph, BSA and XS650 frames have been the basis for countless killer builds, featured in magazines world-wide. This is an innovative frame that is a bolt-on with a super easy install but that doesn't use the stock shock mounts as other frames on the market do. These are each hand crafted to order in your choice of straight or David's signature looped style hardtail rails, and +0", +2", +4" or +6" of stretch and -0", -1", -2", -3" or -4" of drop. The frame pictured here is a looped style, 4" stretch, 2" drop. All necessary hardware is included, and all the hardware and the hardtail frames are 100% Made In The USA! Forget the junky cheap-o imports that have been around for years, this is the highest quality Sportster hardtail on the market. Get yours today!


See just how easy it is to install your hardtail for 1954 - 1972 Sportsters or 1973 - 1978 Sportsters. Within a couple of hours you can have your hardtail installed and your stock wheel, axle, spacers and drum brake setup right back in place! The only difference in the two year ranges is a forged seat post / shock mount area versus the later square bar style, the install is just as easy for each.

Shop Build: John's BSA Chopper... She's a roller!

John's BSA is now a roller. That's a David Bird straight-style, 4" stretch, 2-1/2" drop hardtail in case you were wondering. Some delays due to his KTM Super Motard crash and collar bone injury, but it is coming along with help from his dad, Todd. Can't wait for this bike to come together!

Customer Bike Spotlight: Rory's Canadian Triumph Chopper

Rory emailed to get some input on the electrical system on his Triumph, and sent these snapshots along as well. He built this 1969 Triumph Bonneville over the last year. It looks killer, if that work van and other cars weren't in the background you wouldn't know what decade this photo was from.

Lowbrow Customers Donate Almost $600 to Charity In August

I couldn't be more stoked on using the Lowbrow website and our great customers to help raise money for those less fortunate. I will put our money where our mouth is and Lowbrow Customs will match all donations dollar for dollar made in the month of September; the more you donate, the more we donate.
In August almost $600 was donated by you, our customers, by rounding up your order to the nearest dollar during checkout and donating the change to a couple different educational charities. $462 was raised and donated to Room to Read, bringing our total for 2011 up to $5169.07. Once we hit $12,000 three libraries will be built in developing countries. Another $120 was donated via DonorsChoose.org, which went to Mrs. M's class in Joplin, Missouri:

"My students are K-3rd graders with special needs from a poverty school. Many of my students have social needs and require teaching, practice, and modeling on how to deal with daily social issues. I have students who also need support with reading, math and writing. They need small group or individual instruction to meet these needs. My ultimate goal for the students is to have the opportunity to function and learn as other students in our school and community."
