Modern Boardtracker
23 Sep 2010 by Snakebit Sam / 2 Comments
Cro Customs out in Culver City, California is responsible for this little beauty. Dubbed “BS1″ the machine started out life as a 1986 XL. Obviously the frame has been highly modified and the springer front end has been narrowed. 23″ wheels were mounted to give it a racier stance while the seat, handlebars and paint [...]

Obsession is a harsh taskmaster, just ask Colin Glynn, owner of this pristine 1966 FLH. As a young guy, Colin had seen a King of the Road, a 1965 Pan and decided right then and there, that was the bike for him, that year, that model, say no more, deal done. Now, as an adult [...]

Kraus Motor Company Johnson Special

Paul Johnson asked us to build him a frame similar to 30:60. After talking about front-ends I realized that what he really wanted was a full ground up custom with some resemblance to 30:60. Interesting, how every time we talked about styles or parts to use we always came back to 30:60. I realize there’s [...]
