...and Filippo's 883R with a set up for his trip to Spain

Instagram is a kind of a drug you know...and the blog has been on a dark corner...and took some dust too...and the computer I was working with, fucked up...so...many things (we) and I did on these past couple of months only took place on Instagram...

Here are these two sweet sportsters: I love them to the limit!

Some more things will be posted soon.

Five Speed's line up is going through some little rainy weather right now...but it will be sunny soon :-)

Biltwell Gringo

Did I tell you that I also do paintjobs on helmets?

Here is a Biltwell Gringo I had the chance to paint for Matteo...a lucky cat with a vintage racing MV Agusta 350.
All I have been asked to do was to lay down some old AGV graphic inspired to Giacomo Agostini's helmet.

Ride free Matteo!

Betty's Suzuky GN250 five speed custom cycle #2

It's always a challenge to put your efforts on a motorcycle...and we've always wished to grab a little japanese and pull the hell out of it.
We did it with this little Suzuky GN250.
There's a complete full custom job behind this funny machine.
Completely re-wired to let some little british-look switches take place on the handlebar.
Original seat totally modified.
Home-made exhaust system: louder than the fucking Motorhead!
Sportster headlamp and nacelle and Lucas taillight with japanese cat lens.
Black powder all along the front end...and a superfemale-oriented paint job on the tank!

Nic's 883R five speed custom cycle #1

from this:

to this:

Nic bought a 2003 883R in not so good conditions...and we decided to put all our efforts to let this bike running as it deserves.
Brand new wiring; Biltwell seat (re-upholstered) and a second two-up seat which is in due course right now;
Wheels, complete front end and foot controls sanded and black powder coated;
One of a kind tachometer/coil/choke support;
Exhaust, modified and hi-temp black painted;
2.2 gallons fuel tank with a '60 original Harley Davidson paint scheme replica;
Brand new micro handlebar controls.
It runs greatly and we look forward to taking a ride with Nic asap!
