Anyone know where I could get a hardtail tig welded in mn?

I was recently given this number from a new shop (heavy metal custom cycles in Minnetonka). Their frame guy is Pearson Custom in Prior Lake 952-237-6261. supposedly he charges 1k for full custom frames but I don't know what he'd charge for just a hard tail kit. I might call him about my brats seat rails.

There is a place in Howard lake called Triple T Race products. they do a lot of one off fabrication and would tig your frame for you.

any one in minnesota have a set of extended forks for sale. 4inch would be prefered but I think 6 inch would work as well. any one needing paint work give me a call I do great work for CHEAP!!!

Hmm I might have a set available in a week or two, I think they are 35mm.

Hey bobber12, how cheap to spray a sporty tank? needs no bodywork.

 

[Bobber 12]

no body work depending on the color but a C note should get it done

 

[Bobber 12]

I welded my own up it wasnt that bad TC bros was where I got it and it worked like a charm.

Hey Carter724, I'm in Lakeville just off county rd 70, I've got a 79XS in parts too, working on a bobber, got the standard TC Bros hardtail and sporty tank, plan to get the bike finished by mid summer for a ride around Lake Superior. I've also got a 1981 XS to ride until the bobber is finished. Welcome.

 

[carter724]

Hi sherwin, it sounds like you live pretty close. I'm north of county rd 50 on Pilot Knob. Superior would be a great ride. Last summer I rode along the Mississippi south to NE Iowa on a 200cc bike. I had it pegged going 60 mph, but it was a fun ride.
Anybody know where to get a frame painted for cheaper than I found? I was quoted $210 painted at a body shop and $190 from a powder coater.

I'm in MPLS too. I'm still gathering parts right now. It's nice to see so many people from MN.
