Cover me I'm going In - LSG Cover Some or Coveralls

By -

We've put down our grinders and size 10 spanners and replaced them with thread and denim.  We've let our inner fashion designer out and as a result have ourselves some neat looking garage wear.  Not exactly the most manly thing we do here in the garage but a definite necessity.

I can't count the number of T-Shirts, jeans, shorts, shoes that have ended up in the "garage wear" basket as a result of working on bikes.  Or the time when someone mistook me for doing something (sounds like procrastination) in the laundry basin when in fact I was scrubbing an oil stain out of my work shirt.

Embarrassing times call for desperate measures.  We made these from lightweight denim for warmer weather / but heavy enough to deal with garage turmoil.  The pockets are big enough to fit our wrenches and some small hand tools.   Could also wear them taking the bikes for a test run.

Can't wait to give them a good wearing in over Winter.

Harley XR1200

Ever since Harley introduced the XR1200 back in 2008 I've always been interested to see what owner and builders would do with this nice piece of machinery. Even though it's styling takes cues from the XR750 I felt like it never really hit the mark. There were a couple of design aspects that needed a little tweaking to make me want to go out and buy this bike. First of all I think Harley made a great decision to come out with a bike like this. The change up their image and appeal to a different target market. As was similar to the Harley Davidson 48 that was also recently released. A few things I would change if I ever had an XR1200. Exhausts - I think they need sit higher and more parallel with the rest of the bikes lines.  They look like they've been an afterthought of the overall design.  After reading some reviews it still seems like the pipes will drag if you try and get your knee down.  Remus make a good 2 into 1 exhaust and BUB make a loud tracker style setup

The Plain Jane Hypermotard After reading an article in the lastest motorcycle trader about Ducati introducing a new 659 Monster to cater for the LAMS riders.   It got me thinking about what Duke I would own if I had a wad of cash burning a hole in my Jeans West trousers. Obviously the idea by the Ducati marketing teams was to give the LAMS rider an opportunity to own a ducati.  That and to drop in on the same market dominated by the 250 Ninja and the newly introduced CBR250. The monster is a great bike and I know a couple of people that own them and love them.   It's a model that hasn't really changed since it was first introduced in 1993.  However I'm all for change and when they introduced the Ducati Hypermotard it was a bike that I was instantly attracted to.  It doesn't have the beauty of a 1098 and even though it shares the same visual cues as the Multistrada it still has a look that is completely unique.  Along with an engine that you could have some seri

I love seeing our parts on other peoples builds.  One of our customers Martin sent through his tastefully built Honda CB350. The Honda CB350 with its reliable engine and dual Keihin carburettors, it became one of Honda's best-selling models.  Because of this and the number of them available on the used market sees this model as a popular base to work from. You often see these turned into a cafe racers so it's nice to see one take the scrambler off-road route, which is perfect for Martin's hometown of Ontario Canada. Great work Martin!
