  SuperTruck 1 and 2

 

 

So I bought a 1994 Chevy K2500 from a friend. It's got a 6.5L Turbo DIesel and 4WD.  The SUperTruck!... 417K and still kickin' I did some damage to the frame lifting out the 671 Detroit and 10 speed Fuller/Allison transmission (about 7000 lbs total).  So I started looking for another Chevy.  Found a 1994 K3500, 6.5L Turbo DIesel, 4WD, manual trans, manual windows, and a toolbox bed.  This truck only had 48K miles on it! Enter SuperTruck II

Just some tools and projects that we built for the new Rigby Shop...

JJ's Hardtail

 

Chander and JJ are building a Hardtail out of parts that JJ has picked up over the last couple of years.

 

 

The Hot Rod Golf Cart

 

Greg recently purchased a Golf Cart with not motor.  Looking to build something with a little more power.  Perhaps the motor from a Buell X1 will do the trick.

 

 

The Rigby Shop

 

Greg moved ot Idaho in the Summer of 2020 and was able to get enough land to build a shop.  This is the shop under construction (and complete).

Daves hardtail

Fred's magna

Fred was tired of the stock Honda look and feel.  He wanted a rigid and gave me a call.  He asked if it was possible to make a rigid out of a Honda.... I told him we can make a rigid out of anything. All it takes is time and beer.

 

 

Freds Magna

JJ's Deluxe

JJ bought this bike bone stock. He's never been one to leave well enough alone.... it's had several modifications, including multiple color changes.

 

 

JJs Softail

Kenny's Deluxe

Kenny wanted to convert his bike from a "street bike" to a "road bike". He has done several long distance trips so I'd say it was a success.

Greg's Bagger

Greg originally bought a museum quality 94 Ultra Classic. Original has never been his thing....

 

 

 

Gregs Bagger

Randy's Chopper

Randy drove by JJ's house for over a year. Seeing the garage door open all the time with JJ building, Randy finally stopped and asked if we would build him a bike. We did.... and he painted it so it looked like a New York Mets team bike (so ugly). Finally after years of getting crap for the colors he painted it black/black.  Much better.

Willy's Softail

Willy lives in Munich, Germany.  He bought his bike from a dealer in Arazona and had it shipped to me.  He sent an extensive list of modifications he wanted (250 rear tire, custom swingarm, etc. etc.). Got everything completed, shipped the bike to Germany, and it passed the TUV inspection on the first try.

Joshua's Project

When Joshua was 15 I bought a bone stock Honda CM250 Custom.  We took the Sawzall to is to make it really custom. He is 24 now so I sold it this Spring. Still runs and rides like a champ.

 

 

Joshuas Honda Chopper

RREBAR

RREBAR was a Custom Chrome kit bike.  I kept the important stuff, sold the rest, and built what I needed. It's been to Sturgis a couple times and done several other long rides to shows. Really great bike....

 

 

RREBAR

The Muell

This 97 Buell Cyclone was fast but didn't handle well and looked totally goofy. It had been sitting in the corner of my shop while we were building RREBAR. Once we finished that project Chandler asked what I planned to do with the Buell.... so we put it on the list and want to work. Still crazy fast, handles a little better, and looks pretty cool now.  

 

 

The Muell

Mad Max

Chandler gets bikes in his head and the only way to get them out is to build them. Mad Max was a really cool jockey shift bobber.

 

 

Mad Max

Jim's Hammer

This 1972 XS650 was built to  resemble a 40's style flat tracker.  Kick only, leaf-spring springer front end, rigid frame, heavily modified Honda fuel tank, custom ignition.... this bike had it all.

E wanted a custom cocktail shaker exhaust. I just added to the existing system, through in some 45 degree bends and shaker tips.
