BRASS KNUCKLE!!!!

takami's knuckle head is seriously too dope! first off let me say, im not really a harley dude. I mean I like them and all that, but because of the price of shit, and what it has become over the past few years im kinda turned off by the whole "HARLEY" thing. I dont know, I could see myself owning one, but only after I finished all my other projects., but seriously this bike does it for me. fully. 100%.

where to start!?
brass dog bones, with oil pressure, and neutral light built in.
im guessing either grimeca, or water buffalo front 4 leading shoe brake!? laced up for the rear.
(if this has already been figured out and written somewhere forgive me.) (edit: this is on the pan head not the knuckle)
tank tank tank
can you figure out whats going on here? what is that bulge sticking out of the primary cover!?
oh yeah,... he added an electric starter motor. and them welded up the cover to fit it. oh yeah and he also had to modify the oil tank to fit it. that is also contoured around the starter. details details details

starter button built into the grimeca master cylinder, next to the internal throttle.

dual disc front, mirrors, and turn signals, and still looks clean as fuck...

THE BACKDROP EST.1977

before there was "street wear", before there was cool vintage, before most of you were born, there was Backdrop. they opened there doors in shibuya in 1977!!!! seriously anyone in tokyo that is doing shit now, has shopped, and or gotten inspiration from backdrop. yes HF, and all of them...
the more you look the more ill shit you will find hidden up in the rafters, and tucked into small racks.

leathers for days. they run the vanson game in japan.
red wings since day 1, danner, whites, vans, oakley, red cap, nike, motive, acroynm, new era, collabs with every brand you can think of plus a shit load more. we are siked to be in a shop that fully gets it and is not just dick riding current trends, but rather making them.

today I woke up at 5am, met up with HAL and checked out the bi-annual bike flea market.
not too much to write about, picked up a few small bits for the case in the shop. 
this was basicly how it went all day. as soon as someone pulled out there bag it was like a swarm off bees. 
whats up hal!?
