Greetings amigos.

My name is Chris. I build and sell custom bikes for a living out of my garage in Hancock Park. I've been doing vintage Japanese bikes for a while now. As much as I love vintage I decided I wanted the reliability a new bike. I built up this XS650 for myself and sold it for enough to buy a tracker'd out 06' Bonneville black with a little bit of change left over:



Here's the Bonnie:



I'm not so wild about the whole tracker setup, although i wouldn't mind it so much if that seat was properly upholstered. I'm going to dig into the Bonneville this week. The plan is to take it in the same direction as the XS650 above, but with some custom scrambler pipes. I'd appreciate any advice along the way, and I'd love to connect with any other Hinckley customizers in the Los Angeles area.

I'll probably be putting together a build thread soon, stay tuned.

Chris
