One Year...

Last January we took the prototype Haifley Brothers King & Queen seat
over to Jeremiah's anniversary party to see if anyone would be into it...
Since then our friends from all over the blogosphere have sent us seat pans of all shapes and sizes to get the royal treatment.
Here are a couple of the most recent creations.
Thanks to everyone that has chosen us for a place to plant their ass.




Oh yes, and it happens to be that time again with the Love party just two weeks away.
We'll be there to help celebrate and party with you guys in real life...

Paper Goods...

Magazines are kind of like blogs that you can hold in your hand.
Here's a couple pieces of suggested reading...
Show Class #4 has Part 2 of our seat build tech article and a little write-up on our pal Chris over @
Infernal Combustion Design. Not to mention all of the other killer chopper and boobie content you have come to expect from Tim and crew.

The Feb. Cycle Source is sporting our friend Robert "Pinner" Hernandez and his mile long shovel on the cover and a nice little article inside as well...

And last but certainly not least is the little known but always excellent New Zealand based mag One Percent. Issue five is chock full of hot rod and chopper action, including Born Free 3 coverage, and a feature on our buddy Joel Pippett's Marvelus Shovel chop.

Oh, and the in house hippie, Trapper is responsible for some of the images in each of these fine publications.

Only less played out and annoying.

The knuckle tank will hold gas again.

Let There Be Light, or Days Gone By Part II

Our friend Forrest is at it again, sending us this classic image of him on his 1970 Shovel.
We'll let him tell you about it...
1970 Electriglide,105 total lights,200 bulets,The trick in Days Gone BY.We would go to junk yard and take all the side marker lights off fenders. side marker bulbs use less amprage .We were dedicated,on a mission,all the lamps here had different color glass lens.The most time consuming job was,each light had to be grounded.My friend Tim Holt 80yrs old, and myself are presently collecting glass lens,whitch are hard to find these days,along with bullets.We purchased a 1970 Electriglide bone stock original on ebay for 7k.These glides were slugs back then and when you add on 200 lbs of what nots,well lets put it this way,we didnt have to worry about speedy ticket!!!!!!! Night would come and WOW,BING,BANG SHESHAM,wELL YOU GET THE PITCHER.DO OVER YES,just need to live long enought to finish.yes Haifley BROTHERS, ride it like you stole it,and put it away wet.Your friends from NH,ForrestBezanson,Tim Holt wishing you a happy new year and good health.


Thanks Forrest and Tim, and good luck on the current project. We can't wait to see it in action. Too cool.

And a Happy New Year to you fellas, and all of our friends near and far.
