Hey Epic Garage, Im from Plainfield and looking to build a bobber but dont have space/tools to do it. Would you want to build a bike for me? I could also help on the weekends. Im looking to build something simple but classic bobber. XS650 frame and motor are fine with me because they are cheap and run forever. I have a couple pictures of style i like. Please email me and let me know if this is something you would be interested in doing.

Thanks,

Epic garage, small world. I was just looking into renting the last building you were in on 25. (right by my house) You guys doing bikes now? I did car audio for 10 years before getting on the bike kick. I would like to get out there and see what you guys are up to sometime. Need any help let me know. Ive got a 7 foot by 4 foot powder coating oven as well if you need some powder on that XS. Heres a couple of my last 650's..

Gotta put in my PMA (going batteryless), fork seals and some other minor details....Kinda hard when I have no lift and the garage is not heated......

 

[epic_garage]

i knew there were some of you guys in the area, but did not realize some were in my backyard...awesome.

We are not building bikes, this is my personal build. the shop still does Wiring for customs and classics and interior/audio fab.

Im down for a meet in the spring time... Bike will be put together for World of Wheels this weekend.

If anyone wants to help, I have no clue what im doing here

Started the wiring, just waiting on tins to come back from paint, and some final touches...

hopeful she will start
