ChampCo - 2014 Build Off Thread "The Champ"

[Champco]

ChampCo is stoked to be sponsoring the build off, might as well put a bike in as well. Here is our stab at it.

Mean Muggin!!!

No turning back now. Runnin' an Ardcore tail(mine got here in the time John promised)

Built a motor stand off the plans someone posted on this forum. Thanks whoever you are.

Ready to weld

Got some bars welded up with my homie Jay over at Jumpstreet customs. Some mids as well. I'll get some pics up soon. Ordering tank, fender and tires this week. Hoping to see some big progress as long as I can get ChampCo's motorcycle seat and wallet orders under control. Peace

This is going to be good. Love the ardcore. Also placed an order for some custom bars from Jay at Jumpstreet. What a great dude. I don't even know him but he's easy to deal with.

Whats happenin' 3Deuces...

Glad to see another XS guy around our area. Your bike is incredible man! You gonna get together with all of us and ride down to Pandemonium in Ohio for the build off party?

 

[3Deuces]

Thanks.
Yeah, that ride sounds like fun, and a nice distance. Take scenic M-52 down? Michigangsters invade Ohio!!!!

 

[Champco]

Sounds like a plan. There will be a crap ton of us!!

Look'n good so far

Damn, I'd better get movin... Mine's still sitting in the garage untouched. Nice to see The Duke supervising your build.

 

[Champco]

Ranger,

I'm so dang glad somebody else still remembers The Duke. I tell these yankee's up here in Michigan on a daily basis that if more of them grew up watching John Wayne there would be a lot less skinny jean wearin' sissy's up here (I'm from Kentucky).

Get on that build son!!!!

I love the wassel tanks they have a great shape. I just picked up one with a mid tunnel for my next xs650 build.

My sentiments exactly!... Although I'm not nearly as poetic... "skinny jean wearin' sissy's" ... priceless

Get on that build son!!!!

Well I've started a build thread, and built a table... does that count?

Hey, I've never owned a pair of skinny jeans(too fat, too old), and never pegged my pants when it was popular in the late eighties/ early nineties. Born and bred Michigander. There's a few of us up here that still have a little masculinity, pilgrim!

I'm liking where your build is going, Preacher. Looks good.

I knew I'd ruffle some yankee feathers 3Deuces. Your reply cracked me up! Thanks for the kind words on my build. Do you have a build thread?

 

[3Deuces]

I bought 2 non running stockers in February and finished the bike in June. When I get going on a project I hate to stop and take pictures, disrupts my rhythm, , lol. So, no build thread...

 

[Champco]

ChampCo biz has kept me out of the garage for a while but this is the most recent progress. Some Jumpstreet original bars. Rightly named "Champs". Going for a mild BMX throwback feel

 

[Champco]

Diggin the direction of this BMX inspired beast

 

[3Deuces]

Any updates?

 

[DaneJurrous]

Bike is looking good Champ can't wait to see the finished bike!

 

[Airwolfie]

And yes Bike looks good!!!
