I started a new job at the end of summer and I've been on the road traveling but it looks like the traveling should be slowing down. Just finished this wallet for a repeat customer in Georgia. It was made specifically for this knife. If you would like something like this made drop me a line at <a href="mailto:customlifegarage@gmail.com">customlifegarage@gmail.com</a>. Hopefully I'll be spending more time in the shop and get some of these projects finished. Happy New Year.

This is the frankenstein exhaust I pieced together. It's made from 4 sections from 4 different exhausts. I used a tailpipe from a Suzuki ATV, the muffler from a Chinese ATV, a section from an unknown exhaust and the connection was from the original Honda exhaust. Just need some finish welding, grinding and painting and it's ready to goAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06623073236404184525noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1274961198588597706.post-10421662362191072502014-07-15T19:59:00.002-07:002014-07-15T19:59:50.264-07:00New Knife Sheath Prototype...Just finished this knife sheath for folding knives.

It's been a while since I've worked on the XL185. I picked this bike up last summer and have been slowly doing things a little at a time. I make a mount for the exhaust and also I re-purposed the fender mount to mount on the new frame section I made. I still have to touch up some of the welds and grind them to make them look pretty but finally some progress. This will truly be a custom dirt bike when I'm done with it.<br />

I haven't posted for a while because I haven't spent much time in the garage lately. I've been cutting a lot of grass and the trout have been biting so I took a little break from the shop. Made some progress on the YZ80 tonight though. Got the plastics back, the radiator hooked up and some odds and ends fasteners. Still have some more work but pretty close to having this thing back on the trails.</div>

Basically disassembled it down to the front forks and swingarm. I wasn't planning on doing this much but it was a rainy day and I said what the heck. I sanded the frame but instead of paint I used truck bed liner. I'm hoping this will hold up better in the trails. I painted a bunch of the parts and hoping to get it re-assembled this week.<br />
