Mitch Johnson's 1981 Harley-Davidson Wide Glide Shovelhead
Mitch bought his shovelhead roughly seven years ago as a completely stock 1981 Harley-Davidson Wide Glide. It's gone through several iterations since then which include some Japanese- and Indonesian-style influence.
This cone shovel is part city ripper and part shop guinea pig featuring a slew of early iteration Prism Supply parts. Check out the video and let us know what you think of the bike!

If you've been paying attention to our channels lately, you'll recognize this bike. It's a 1965 Harley-Davidson survivor chopper built by Gino from the Philly area. It's a pan/shovel engine nestled into a knucklehead frame with flame molding in true '60s chopper fashion.
Wildfire | PART 2 | 1965 Harley-Davidson Survivor Chopper First Start in 20 Years
In the first episode of our attempt to get Wildfire running we got 'er to start, but there were a number of issues to address before calling it a running bike. The pushrods were extremely loose and the fuel tank still had rust, which was wreaking havoc on the petcock and carb.
Wildfire | 1965 Harley-Davidson Survivor Chopper First Start in 20 Years

Our Process | Psychic Shifter
When we started Prism Supply back in 2012, one of our foundational goals was to manufacture as many motorcycle parts in-house as possible.
But, we were set on having our latest product, the Psychic Shifter, sand casted and that’s simply not something we’re cut out for.
Sand casting is a discipline that seems to be increasingly rare these days. Not to mention, it was important to find a US-based sand caster.
After spinning our wheels searching all over the country, we stumbled upon a company right here in Charlotte, Jenkins Electric, who has been operating a casting foundry since before anyone on our team was even born.
