$28-$45 on Kickstarter






Flat Black Aluminum
Made from 6061 high grade aluminum, it's sleek, ultra light, and barely noticeable in your pocket. The flat black anodize coating provides durability and corrosion resistance.

Solid Brass
When we think of brass, what comes to mind is old school woodworking tools and nautical instruments. Why not wallets? There's something about the look and feel that's unique. These are left uncoated to reveal the beauty and character of the material. 



TRIP PREP: Stage 2 - Emgo Universal Low Rise Bars

/
In further preparation for our upcoming trip around Lake Michigan I've swapped out the clubman bars for some Emgo Universal low rise units. I decided I didn't feel like cafe racing it 800 miles around the lake. I've only taken the bike out for about 30 minutes since the swap but the comfort and control over the clubmans is astounding. I may never go back, but if I do I think it will be for some clip-ons. 



ART&DESIGN: Scrap Birdhouse

/
When faced with Mom's birthday on the horizon I decided to challenge myself to make something from what I had laying around the garage instead of buying something on the internet. What started as an idea to make a fully functioning birdhouse turned into more of an artistic representation. 
I blame art school.


It only took about 2 days, 2 hours a day, mostly because the paint and stain needed to dry. I suppose it could be a candle holder. The wood base is stepped so the metal can come off but localizes itself when it's put back together. Feel free to copy it. You basically just need a welder, grinder, step drill, and a belt sander. For scale reference the pipe is 3.5".

TRIP PREP: Shinko 705 Dual Sport Tires

/
Making some updates to the CX500 in preparation for our camping trip around Lake Michigan come August 3rd. First stage is better performing rubber. I've been riding on these Shinko 705's for a couple weeks now and they're just worlds better then the Dunlop K70's. They just fall into corners so effortlessly and grip like hell.
