ok so i havent been here in almost 2 years...what happened to alot of the vendors or guys that made stuff in their back yards? Like Lowering blocks? Also, there was a really good site out of georgia (I think) that sold stuff way cheaper than Triumph, like chrome stock parts, emblems...things like that.

Boogieman went out of business. Newspeedmaster.com and FastEddySports.com are still around. That's about it for aftermarket parts. Bellacorse.com still has some stuff and lowbrowcustoms.com has a few things.

Streetboogie never recovered enough from his car wreck to resume business. Don't forget to add British Customs to your vendor list right after you check out Eddy  (he's still at the top of the list).
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)

I remember the cold cast guy making emblems, cool stuff. I would like to learn to do that.

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Hmm yea I think it was Cowetta I was thinking about...I'm happy I got my bike running after a 2 year slumber...But I still wanna do a "retro" theme...it's very easy to become obsessed and stay up all night thinking of how your going to modify your bike. Do they make meeting for people like me? lol

Not really, it's when the gushing and worship starts that it gets under my skin.
