Cool rims on his bikes, like the common rail fuel injection system that he has on this last picture. Cool Stuff. He's missing a caliper on his Speedmaster though.

From all I've read in the past, and what these pix seem to enforce, is that South Bay is the cutting edge in regard to the all the twin models. Some - No, most ALL the mods they do is 'great stuff'. Its a shame you don't see more dealers actively involved in the modification of the bikes - both for performance and appearance. My hat is off to the folks at South Bay. Keep up the great work!

Never mind, the caliper's there, failed to see the brake crossover line over the non-existent front fender. The Bonny with the raw metal tank, alternator cover, and sprocket cover looks mean, especially with those FCR Flatslide carburetors.

I wish their web site wasn't so sparse. I'd like to see a lot more of that speedmaster.

Great looking bikes.
In this day and age, it is a travesty that any company competing for consumer dollars would either not have a web presence or have one done poorly.

Guys, The bottom pic with the mono-shock frame, is Matt's stroker/big bore Bonnie that's 1100-something cc in displacement. I've been promised a ride on it, when it's completed. Cheers, Dwight (yep...you just can't keep them So.Cal boys down.....GO TROJANS!) 
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)

Hey Dwight, That is a bad ride ehhy! I too am looking to take him up on an offer to ride HIS bike. Promised I'd bring it back. On the subject of Southbay, I have been working every day to much and haven't been able to get down there to pick up my newly big bored ride. Tomorrow will be the day to go get it and then I have to work sat and sun. Will be riding sat nite tho. I'll keep you all posted. We will have it dyno'd after break in to see where I'm at. Vic
Have a nice day , "unless you've made other plans"
