Prism Supply Harley-Davidson Sportster Sissy Bar on an FXR
Our friend, Michael, brought his ‘82 FXR by the shop last week and we noticed our 04+ Sportster Sissy Bar might just fit. We grabbed one off the shelf and, sure enough, we got it to work!
WILL IT START? $1,000 Says We Can Start This ‘48 Panhead In 1 Hour
At 4 PM on a Friday afternoon, Mitch bet Jake $1,000 that our latest project, a 1948 Harley-Davidson Panhead chopper, wouldn’t start before 5 PM.
Dreamboat's Family Visits
We made a promise to Mark Smith, Dreamboat’s previous owner and son of the original owner Tyree Smith. When we got Dreamboat running again, we would invite him to Charlotte to ride the motorcycle for the first time since he parked it 40+ years ago.
Dreamboat Throws Flames
It’s been a few months since we brought Dreamboat, the 1952 Harley-Davidson Panhead, to Charlotte. We started Dreamboat for the first time in 40+ years a month ago and have been working on bringing the other accessories back to life ever since.
Bronco Bronze First Ride in 30+ Years
We just wrapped up a video series with Harley-Davidson and DicE Magazine about Bronco Bronze, the 1952 Harley-Davidson FL Hydra Glide Panhead we recently mechanically restored.
The Ski Team
The Congregation Show, our collaboration with Dice Magazine, was postponed, then most recently canceled as we continue to react to the reality that is 2020. Rest assured, we didn’t take the decision lightly and it stung more than most. And, even though we stand by it, we didn’t want that to be the final nail in our summer’s coffin.
Aerial Reel - Fun
Crazy doesn’t begin to explain the times we’re all living in right now. But, there’s one thing we’re pretty sure of. In addition to all of our humanistic needs, we all just want to enjoy life and have fun. Fun looks like a lot of different things for a lot of different people. For us (and probably for you if you’re reading this), fun looks like riding motorcycles with friends.
Alex Eyssen’s Model T
I recently photographed this 1915 Ford Model T Touring Car with Alex Eyseen at Camp North End here in Charlotte, North Carolina. Queen City locals l know if you go to Camp North End on any given day, you’ll see area photographers roaming around and shooting on the old picturesque property. For that reason, the location may seem like an obvious place to shoot a historic car, but that’s not why we chose it.
Inside the Shop - April 2020 Project Update
Dreaming about the shape of a tank or coming up with creative ways to mount a tail light, balancing form and function is what feeds our energy. Granted, most of the time form outweighs function, but rest assured that everything out of our shop will run with the best of ‘em.
Behind The Scenes - 1949 Survivor Panhead Shoot
I got to shoot a Harley-Davidson this past weekend in the Ford building at Camp North End (CNE). I’m nervous about this photo set because it’s a pretty far departure from my usual style of shooting.
Let's Go
We love motorcycles and everything that comes with them. Along the way, we’ve pulled inspiration from others and pushed to forge a unique path of our own.
In our latest effort to do this while bringing in the new year, we’ve teamed up with Remedy, a production company based in our home state of North Carolina to make a video intended to be a love letter to our industry and culture.
Let's Go.
